Looks very gnome shell though :)

[–] y_unixperson@lemmy.ml 5 points 7 months ago

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

[–] Krafting@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

Using KDE to make it look like GNOME, nice!

[–] ultra@feddit.ro 3 points 7 months ago

again, "rice" and "ricing" is racist terminology. read the post above for more info.

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.

[–] jacab@hexbear.net 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] CyberEgg@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 7 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.

[–] WeLoveCastingSpellz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 7 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

[–] featured@hexbear.net 9 points 7 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.
