Hey, we should all really stop using racist slang to refer to customozation
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.

Nah try again. Based on how few of you sub here I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't know how to use a terminal and thought all command line stuff makes people hackerman.

Incorrect, I am the type of hacker man that has accidentally formatted my hard drive by entering random commands I find posted on the internet... 7 times now.
Glad we established this isn't your community.
But it is.
@dessalines@lemmy.ml can you mod me for a sec. I bring you a dengiun as an offering.
You think asking for mod makes this your community? Oof
No I think being part of the lemmy community and fediverse makes this my community.
Imagine thinking being on lemmy makes you a member of every community on the platform. Guess that makes me a member of the hexbear community then eh comrade?
Watch out, better not let them find out the lib communities are yours as well ðŸ¤
Yes. Stop in the mega and introduce yourself.
Yeah not the kind of people I want to associate with. Good luck hiding your lib membership from them.
