Excuse me, is this meal free of proprietry software?

[-] person@lemm.ee 19 points 8 months ago

You can get informed at https://gnu.org/freemeals

Excerpt:

When we use the term free in the context of meals it is not about price. We do not care about the price. It is free as in "Libre", meaning you have the freedom to eat it or give it to someone else who will also have the same freedom to do with it as per wants.

You should ask them to make that a real page.

What's "ricing"?

[-] Shady_Shiroe@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

It is from car terminology, Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancemen, or RICEing, basically means customizing your setup to perfectly fit you.

Wasn't it a derogatory term for asian car tuners at first before being used for the linux stuff?

[-] Montagge@kbin.earth 14 points 8 months ago

It was indeed. It was used to disparage Asians modifying their cars and then anyone modifying an Asian car. Because haha Asians eat rice so funny.

Apparently a bunch of the Linux community thought this was a good term to adopt for reasons I don't understand. The mental gymnastics I see trying to make this not racist is tiring.

Its not racist if your not using it in a racist context. I didn't even know it was "racist" until today

[-] Montagge@kbin.earth 7 points 8 months ago

I whole heartedly disagree
