Using KDE to make it look like GNOME, nice!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Looks very gnome shell though :)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

I didn't really consider that but I guess it does. Shows you can make KDE look like anything.

You are both a good designer and a good person. o7

I wouldn't bother. These people find everything offensive.

I don't what that hexbear idiot is on but: In the car world, RICE stands for Race(as in car races) Inspired Cosmetic Enhancement. Do your research people.

cool acronym have you tried conducting your research anywhere besides urban dictionary? needlessly perpetuating the casual use of a term of evidently racist origin is an affront to the collaborative spirit of free software that allows us to behold such beautiful configurations and customizations

I don't think the other commenters "sources" are relevant hence the reason I haven't responded them no ricing doesn't come from the racist phrase "rice burner" to describe a car, what are you talking about

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Oh, you think the sources aren't relevant? Yeah, I'm sure, that's how a reasonable, unbiased discussion should work. Just think other sources don't matter and the argument based on them just magically gets dismissed. Wow.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I am just saying that the acronym RICE hasn't got anytging in common with the racist slang "rice burner" It is more than a bit of a stretch. also shut the fuck about the unbiased discussion bullshit I am not trying to have a debate or another bullcrap. You, like me are free to think what you think

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago

You’re a moron or intentionally sticking your head in the sand if you really believe this. What you’re clinging to is a backronym, not original or common usage. The term “rice” or “ricer” comes from racist old American car guys who hated that Japanese cars were becoming so popular in the 70s/80s/90s, so they called them “rice burners” as a dig at their Asian roots, to compare them to a kitchen appliance to make them seem weak, and to imply poor reliability and power compared to their beloved muscle cars. It’s racist terminology through and through and always screamed of a fragile, bruised ego

But that's where you're wrong. And the sources provided prove that.

You started a discussion. If you don't want to discuss, don't post a comment arguing a point.
