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.
Lmao are you gonna bust out the I’m rubber you’re glue next? You lack reading comprehension and you’ve devolved to throwing insults instead of having a discussion.
If you can’t see all the hexbear users piling onto those that disagree with OP I don’t know what to tell you.
Good luck out there.
Again, that’s not piling on, that’s just your fragile ego not being able to handle a lot of people calling your opinion garbage.
Why do you insist on centering this on me? Mentioning the piling on was my first comment here. There’s zero chance I was referring to myself lmao and I’m still not.
Your constant need to go after me is pretty telling. I’m curious what your definition of piling on is if attacking people instead of their argument doesn’t meet that bar.
And again, not talking about myself. And if you need examples I invite you to read all of the responses in the thread objectively, and not as a hexbear user with already hurt feelings.
I actually did re-read the entire thread extremely objectively (I put on my maximum objectivity cap) and I stand by my initial conclusion that you’re a huge fucking baby.
