Meta post I’ve decided to make. I enjoyed the unixporn subreddit a lot when I used reddit more. I enjoy customizing my linux de as much as the next nerd.
But you definitely shouldn’t use racist slang to refer to the process.
To be clear, I didn’t know the origin of the term ‘ricing’ until fairly recently. I was chattimg with my friend and used it to describe my de setup. They informed me that apparently it’s from car customization, and is a pejorative against generally asian men who customize their car to look like a racecar.
After learning this I was sad to realize just how engrained it is in linux de customization culture. I personally have stopped using the term, and I would ask everyone here stop as well.
yes
and i’m discarding yours as well
‘reference to race’ lmao give me a break
Well, I’m glad. I wouldn’t want to engage with someone as condescending and rude as you, either. The less people talk with you the better.
hog out or log out liberal
…you should maybe have just read the page I linked rather than doubling down on this one, friend; this isn’t a good look
