Im pretty sure ricing is a racist term that relates to asians and aftermarket cars... we should prob phase that out folks

And I have been using it for nearly half my existence here on this planet: I heard the term within my first month, I was more jarred they called it porn though.

Bloated, has a cursor

Forget the color and just give it 100% transparency

Don't you have a dark theme variant?

I will wait until Asian ppl comain in volume or academia before worrying about that.

Yep. The default dark mode is the only mode so it is the default mode by default.

#fff for a leaner experience

How do I know which one my monitor is?

Is it OLED?

If not it's an LCD.

It used to be that if something was one or two colors, it might be an OLED, like the sansa clip mp3 player.

These days, how do you tell if it is OLED or LCD? Or do you just have to know?

Why not just stop since you know it’s racist? Do you also use other racial slurs in your speech until someone complains to you?

You'd know if your desktop monitor was oled. Especially with how much they cost. Phones not so much since a lot of mid range ones will be OLED.

Easiest method is open a black image. Is the screen 100% off, no light being emitted by it? If there's light it's LCD. If there's no light then it's OLED, or a fancy LCD with dimming zones. Use your (white) cursor to activate the zones and see if you see light squares. If you can't then it's OLED, or mini/micro LED. And once again you'd probably know it's one of the two by the price you paid, or it's a MacBook Pro.

Ahh, thanks! So that's how my phone screen can be so dark, but then have one line of white text on it for the clock. I always thought that was kind of strange. Must be OLED, I guess.

You need a white cursor with a light gray border 😬 besides of that: very creative!

Possibly? In the linux world it just means making an appealing looking desktop for a unix machine

this is the dark theme variant

What is racist about the term?

Please end it for me.

So efficient!

Everyone is saying it

I hate how long I thought my phone wasn't loading the image

For fucks sake

Because I dn't think it's hurtful. I don't think it's designed to hurt anyone, and I don't hear anyone describing themselves as being hurt.

What about beansing? It offends the beans that they're being left out of the ricing

Mouse pointer is bloat... /s

Still using a monitor? Bloated.

Shit take

You sound like the kind of person who would justify saying something racist with, “but I’m saying a GOOD thing about those people!”

Rice burner, riced out, rice boy... and referring to a badly customized sports car...

So nothing at all to do with what we're talking about in this thread with linux setups?

Same term, same origin, basically same meaning, other device.

If you end lines with two spaces
And a single line feed

Instead of two line feeds
You can make stanzas
And improve readability

For everyone

Linux Ricing

A cooking term dude. Pull your head out of your ass.

Now I can see through my monitor

Looks dope but too much details for me

Are you white?

Yup its definitely racist in origin, relating to the slur for asians suping up imports, and everyone in this thread is a fucking neckbeard defending their racist terminology

When did lemmy get filled with shits

Thats the dumbest shit ive heard today

How is the linux term reffering to processing food with a ricer, and not aftermarket modification of ones possessions? You imbecile

Because they took time to make something from scratch with ingredients. i.e. Cooking. linux ricing started with only Window Managers and occasionally you get someone that modifies a DE. These people start from scratch to build their perfect environment. They aren't doing after market modifications. They literally pick the components they want and put it all together, write all the configs. Hence, Cooking.

Ricing is not making things from scratch, its mashing something through a ricer.

Are you? If you are Asian, and the term "ricing" offends you, then tell me so.

Why is it shit? If no-one is feeling hurt, what is the point? Are you protecting ppl or being hyper-sensitive.

If you are asian and offended, then tell me so, and I avoid using the term. I won't even ask for proof or anything.

Dodge the question then

You sound like someone who thinks they're representing a group, but are actually just being hyper-sensitve.

Tell me that you are offended and asian.

I am concerned abiut identifying myself on lemmy, but I will admit that I am not Asian, and that I don't live in North America.

nah theres a mouse cursor in the top left

Hmm so your Israeli eh?

close your eyes for dark mode
