That is interesting. I’ve always associated Basmati rice with India, yet the term “rice” when used with computers, came from “rice bois” in the car world many, many years ago.
These were traditionally young Japanese men, who did up their cars to look amazingly fancy, but underneath they weren’t capable at all.
So they were all show and no go so to speak.
I guess just recently in the politically correct world, that I saw born here on Lemny in real time, the term rice is not appropriate anymore, because it’s associated with racism.
I hope that little history lesson helps you see the root of the term rice, and why it is intriguing to me, to see Basmati used here, as the term changes, and morphs through time.
I’m not American. This is literally the history of “ricing”. You might not like it, as yes, it is racist, but, if you research, you’ll see it’s what it is. Facts are facts.
You’re the one who made the claim so the onus is on you to provide a source. That’s literally the most basic thing a person learns in academia. You can’t claim that “facts are facts” without providing proof of those facts.
Furthermore, you can hold Americocentric views without being American. That’s the whole purpose behind American cultural exports.
you have a separate partition for steam?
Nice, I should look into it. Hey, why don’t you make a git repo with your files?
I’m a lazy admin who’s been rolling this install since 2015 lol Maintaining a repo is just extra steps I don’t need, I’m happy to wgetpaste what I want to share when I want to and be done.
Is your username is speed of light? (I don’t remember the exact number so)
Looks nice. How did you find rEFIfind in terms of setup? Considering switching from grub
When I first used rEFInd I didn’t configure it and it still detected windows and arch. I only configured it to change the theme and to make adjustments to the kernel command line. It is a very simple bootloader that is advanced and has waaaaaay less CVE’s if not any.
I’m in the process of moving over to UKI and so will remove the bootloader entirely and at that point will just use UEFI boot loader (F12) to change OS/kernel.
