Wat’s the OSK?

squid OP ,

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?

jesus christ we just had a huge struggle session about this.

@Nakoichi@hexbear.net avatar

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

@flan@hexbear.net avatar

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

squid OP ,

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

Flyberius ,
@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@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 OP ,

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 OP ,

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 OP ,

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 OP ,

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)

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.

mariah , to linux in My riced surface pro 7

What wm

squid OP ,

Sway

mariah ,

Cool. What keyboard r u using

squid OP ,

Wvkbd, its serviceable

burrito , to linux in My riced surface pro 7

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 OP ,

I have btop on my desktop, very pretty

CouldntCareBear , to casualuk in Are these the worst crisps ("chips") in Britain?

Shut yo mouth. These crisps are the best.

Teknikal , to casualuk in Are these the worst crisps ("chips") in Britain?

Haven’t had a packet in years but I did really like these.

fakeman_pretendname , to casualuk in Are these the worst crisps ("chips") in Britain?

I actually like these, and sometimes get them as a flavoursome treat. They’re not an everyday crisp, but lovely occasionally.

EndMilkInCrisps , to casualuk in Are these the worst crisps ("chips") in Britain?

I used to love them. Before I went vegan. Then…well see my name.

BabaBooeyyy ,

Yes please! Lactose intolerant here, having milk in cheese, chocolate and cookies is already bad enough

Mr_Blott ,

having milk in cheese

🤨

StarServal ,
@StarServal@kbin.social avatar

It’s getting to be so you can’t enjoy a tall glass of milk without them putting milk in there.

DessertStorms ,
@DessertStorms@kbin.social avatar

What really gets me is, there are plenty of meaty and cheesy flavoured crisps out there that manage without it perfectly well (many not even intentionally vegan), so they really have no excuse!

shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit ,

Looking at you, M&S. “Yum, that looks tasty, no one else puts milk in these, I’d better check the ingredients anyway… FUCK YOU M&S!!?!?!”

000999 , to casualuk in Are these the worst crisps ("chips") in Britain?

They’re pretty good

rich , to casualuk in Are these the worst crisps ("chips") in Britain?

They used to be better

Honestly

But back then it was a toss up between these and brannigans ham and mustard in the work vending machine and obviously I went with those each time. I miss them

DDS ,

Let me blow your brain and tell you there was never a ham and mustard. I did far too much research into this as I could remember them as that too! It was beef and mustard or ham and pickle!

rich ,

O shit yeah I am combining both in my head! They were both amazing. And now I am twice as sad.

merridew , to casualuk in Are these the worst crisps ("chips") in Britain?

Roysters are the UK’s only, original, American-style bubble chips!

Best to stick to actual crisps.

www.kpsnacks.com/our-brands/#:~:text=Roysters are….

blueday ,

American style bubble chip?? As an American, wtf is a bubble chip? Our chips don’t look anything like on that package. Im assuming these are potato based?

hotwarioinyourarea ,

Stop trying to hide your precious bubble chips

@ToxicDivinity@hexbear.net avatar

T bone flavor? I’ve never heard of a meat flavored chip. Were they salty? Doesn’t sound good

theKalash ,

Yeah, the Brits really love their weirdly flavoured chips.

merridew ,

Meat-flavoured crisps are common in the UK. Roast chicken, smoky bacon, and BBQ beef are routine for flavours.

Prawn cocktail crisps taste of prawn cocktail sauce… not of prawns.

ToxicDivinity ,
@ToxicDivinity@hexbear.net avatar

Roast chicken bbq and bacon make sense to me but not t bone

Mr_Blott ,

Probably not enough butter, salt and high fructose corn syrup for your delicate palate mate

ToxicDivinity ,
@ToxicDivinity@hexbear.net avatar

we just make our chips out of corn in murica

merridew ,

If you can imagine those, I’m sure you can imagine steak flavour. That’s all it is.

These steak-flavoured “bubbled chips” are suitable for vegetarians, which raises some additional questions.
