Meta post I’ve decided to make. I enjoyed the unixporn subreddit a lot when I used reddit more. I enjoy customizing my linux de as much as the next nerd.
But you definitely shouldn’t use racist slang to refer to the process.
To be clear, I didn’t know the origin of the term ‘ricing’ until fairly recently. I was chattimg with my friend and used it to describe my de setup. They informed me that apparently it’s from car customization, and is a pejorative against generally asian men who customize their car to look like a racecar.
After learning this I was sad to realize just how engrained it is in linux de customization culture. I personally have stopped using the term, and I would ask everyone here stop as well.

You can write it out this is not reddit
You can write it out, no need to censor yourself. You’re not calling someone a faggot, are you ? you’re being descriptive about the usage of that word. Censorship creates stigma, we have to recognize when to do it (= when usage is intended harm)
most semi decent Lemmy instances filter out slurs

Instances may have individual filters which will automatically censor the individual word when federated, so no need to do it yourself 👌
I believe female 4 legged domestic pet is one of them on lemmy.ml or lemmy.world
