Wat’s the OSK?

squid,

Wvkbd, its serviceable in a pinch but will probably switch to gnomes vkb

wispydust517,

Nice - having tried wvkbd I would agree. How did you plan to use gnome’s vkb without gnome?

giacomo,

Clean rice. Nice.

Well we did but this is lemmy.ml, figured I would comment on it anyway because yeah it’s super fuckin racist lol.

i thought it wasnt a hexbear thread? maybe it wasnt a lemmy.ml thread but they should know better.

squid,

And why should I know of an obscur car culture slur?

@Flyberius@hexbear.net avatar

It’s ok to not know about it, but when you are made aware about it you are then presented with a choice.

It’s up to you if you want to carry on using the term despite knowing about it’s roots.

Nakoichi,
@Nakoichi@hexbear.net avatar

Yo why is everyone mad about me calling drooling on the joint N-word lipping it? I didn’t know it was a slur I’m just trying to reclaim it.

Nakoichi,
@Nakoichi@hexbear.net avatar

fyi “riced” is kinda racist terminology. It goes back to car culture from the 90s and always kinda made me uncomfortable even then.

squid,

So what is the new terminology for the practice of theming a desktop

katie,

Theming a desktop

Nakoichi,
@Nakoichi@hexbear.net avatar

lol anything but that idk. It literally originates from racist stereotypes about Japanese cars and car culture though, just thought I would let you know

squid,

Just looked into the terminology, as an Asian I don’t see it as that offensive if offensive at all when used for Linux theming

Nakoichi,
@Nakoichi@hexbear.net avatar

might not seem that way at a glance but as someone that was into car culture in the 90s it definitely was and that’s where it carried over from.

squid,

I don’t think it carries over. Its been reclaimed and now it has connotations of pride, ricing seems to of been an insult as the cars where cheaply and tackily fitted. My desktop and many others I’d seen “riced” looked far from cheap

Nakoichi,
@Nakoichi@hexbear.net avatar

We literally had this whole argument play out before and I’m just standing by the fact it isn’t “reclaimed” because most of the people using it and defending it are white dudes. I am not going to criticize your use of it if you’re actually Asian but it’s not really worth trying to reclaim imo.

squid,

I’m sure youll be having this argument a lot more

Nakoichi,
@Nakoichi@hexbear.net avatar

Yes I will.

Jumuta,

I get the feeling that the majority of lemmy users are either European or USean though

Crackering

“The act of tackily retheming a gui in an attempt to look like a 1337 hacker. Typically the preserve of young white males in the tech industry”

SaltyIceteaMaker,

Give it a few years and people will complain about it because cracker is used as a racist term against white people (because our skin looks like a cracker)

Woosh

jmcs,

Theming, customizing, personalizing, etc

ExLisper, (edited )

I thought it meant he spilled some water on it and had to put in a bag or rice. TIL.

pastermil,

I’m Asian and I don’t even know or care. It’s a well accepted word with well-intended meaning. I even use that word from time to time.

burrito,

Check out btop. It’s another system monitor like htop but it has a bit more info and I’ve been pretty impressed with it.

squid,

I have btop on my desktop, very pretty
