Basically people will call really visually pleasing things within a hobby porn. Like on some places online you can find food porn, which is simply really delicious looking food that's nicely presented( Yes it's kinda an edgy joke to call it porn).

But it's not made to be sexual and no one except maybe 0000000000.1% of people( I don't want to think about it) probably get turned on by it.

Anyway back to riceing DWM and st.

I think you meant to put that decimal a bit further left....

Its spelled "eunuch porn"

[-] Orbituary@lemmy.world 20 points 10 months ago

But it's pronounced, "You! NICK! Porn!" - it's an order, not a description.

[-] ItsAFake@lemmus.org 6 points 10 months ago

Nah it's a person with bad english asking someone to grab Nick's porn.

You, Nick's porn,

because half of the wallpapers are either hentai or sexy anime characters.

Also never understood why it's called "rice" instead of a "theme". Every DE uses the term "theme" but /unixporn uses the term "rice" for some reason.

[-] finestnothing@lemmy.world 35 points 10 months ago

Ricing came from the term rice-rocket from Japanese car enthusiasts which referred to the mods for their cars (physical mods, paint, stickers, etc). Transformed into rice/ricing eventually just because terms tend to shorten, and eventually jumped to other circles.

I usually think of a theme as a widely distributed/standardized set of appearances that anyone can load and use while a rice is customized and unique to that person

[-] Badabinski@kbin.social 20 points 10 months ago

The only thing that comes to me is that someone who was really into tuning/spiffing up Japanese cars was involved in the community early on. I've always found it weird, and I'd honestly kinda prefer to just use "theme" or "spiff" or one of the many other words that the Godfucked curse of the Earth that is the English language provides for the purpose.

[-] sxan@midwest.social 4 points 10 months ago

Ricing vehicles (mostly cars) used to be a big thing, enough so that when "rice" first started being used it was a common term to even people not into the hobby. I think it's a... not skeumorphism, but whatever the tern is for anachronisms like "files" and "folders." Metaphors carried over from the before-times.

Unlike "disks" which is a term that used to refer to a specific thing that's largely been replaced by rectangular solid state devices. I feel as if there are, or should be, terms for these language elements.

All these answers are good but for the real answer: because reddit did a thing where they had "X"porn around like, idk, '07 ish. Earthporn, spaceporn, unixporn, etc. It's just (supposed to be anyway) very pretty pictures of pretty things related to the topic, like for instance a scenic waterfall for earthporn, some cool nebula with a bunch of colors added in for spaceporn, and a sick i3 rice for unixporn.

Unix: Linux, bsd, OSX and many more OS's are Unix based

(Afaik unix was it's own OS back in the day but i have often heard that unix nowadays is regarded as more of a philosophy)

Porn: is often used to say something looks really good: foodporn, earthporn etc.

Probably just line any safe for work communities that had also "porn" in its name. Just using the word to mean that it is very appealing.

[-] lurch@sh.itjust.works 16 points 10 months ago

it's better than the ones ending in "masterrace" ngl. those really bother me. like try to explain where you found a (final) solution to a PC problem to your grandpa who fought the nazis

[-] Bipta@kbin.social 9 points 10 months ago

I feel like they'd probably be more concerned about the rise and return of Nazism to the US more then a subreddit name.

[-] JustZ@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

It's because watching people use Unix as if it were ubiquitous is a fantasy.

Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.

No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
