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.
It’s mommy, please edit your post while i look up your defense of racism in the modlogs. I’d have to report you for purposefully leaving up a misgendering otherwise and i don’t think your account will survive that after all these comments have already been removed.
Lmao, I won’t idulge your powertrip, which at this point is blatant. I might have if you had actually asked nicely not through a thinly veiled threat. If it doesn’t survive your report, so be it. Let the record show I included both versions because I had no clue what your pronouns are and I don’t think your infantilizing response warrants any more respect from me than that.

Oh, and those transphobe claims too.
Quote up on those racist claims there buddy (that one is gender neutral, afaik).
