Had no idea you can setup a full DE & display server on Termux, must be clunky but really cool
Yeah, it's pretty sweet! There's even a whole sub over at Reddit. But be warned: I once asked politely why they insist on ricing their termux instances - expecting some sincere replies - and I got bullied out of there faster than the Millennium Falcon did the Kessel Run...
Maybe dontnsay ricing
Why? People above ricing now? ๐คฃ
Think about what group of people a word based on "rice" targets?
I'm really not deep enough into that culture to understand what you mean. Either that, or it's that I'm a non native speaker? ๐ Please explain. ๐ Is it not just a nerdy way of saying "making a Linux desktop environment look fancy"?
"ricing" comes from people "tricking out" Japanese cars by customizing them. I think most people don't think it's saying anything negative about Asians but some people take it that way. I think one similar term that sounds much worse is when people call those same Japanese cars "rice burners". That one sounds derogatory/racist to me
In climbing, we use carabiners. It used to be common to say 'biner or 'biners for short. But my community stopped saying it that way because we were told that it sounded to close to a derogatory term (beaners) that I had never even heard of before.
So to try to be more inclusive, we trained ourselves to not say something that sounded offensive, even though none of us meant it that way. It really isn't that much to ask IMO to use neutral terms when so many exist.
'beaner' is literally a racial slur that I instantly recognized as sounding exactly like what you wrote. Doesn't matter if you've heard of it.
I'm not sure why you're here trying to scold me for this. I explained what you meant and expressed understanding of it.
You get it -- the person above you did not. Apologies if it sounded targeted to you. I was trying to add on to the conversation for the benefit of anyone reading it.
Intent doesn't matter -- impact does. I still have never heard of "beaner" outside of the climbing context but it doesn't matter -- it is recognizable to others and that is enough. Again, I know you get it. But not everyone does, and I'm trying to give an example of the time I learned this.
A lot of people have never heard of ricer outside of the car/Linux context.
