Just and fyi. Rice/ricing is a derogatory term and really shouldn’t be used.
Edit: yall that are downvoting me. Look it up it’s not something that we as a community should be using. It’s been discussed here previously.
Yeah, last I checked it was used in the 1980's and only in like US and UK(only like 5% global population). Half the people in this community wasn't even born then. When most people hear the term ricing they think about theming their desktops, not about the car culture thing.
The word rice has been central to the whole unixporn community since it started. I don't like it being banned due to some white guilt.
May I ask how is it derogatory? I've just seen it used a lot on unixporn subs and communities, clearly it's not meant in a derogatory fashion.
