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.
I have an alt (with the same username) over there, they aren’t planning a damn thing. It’s literally chaos, but why wouldn’t you expect to be corrected, en masse, on being racist or homophobic on Lemmy in general? Shitty bigots need to be trolled, idc what the method is.
