    What font do you have in the bar? I never get the CPU Icon to display. Or are they just Image? But really nicely done.

    Ooh, I love how your prompt looks in your terminal. How did you make it look like that? (I didn’t see anything in the alacritty yaml)

    Edit: never mind, just saw that you already shared your Starship config. Thanks for sharing!

    the word “rice” in this context has a super racist history and I beg you to look it up and then stop using it.

    nice desktop tho

      There’s nothing inherently racist about using the term in the context of customizing a desktop.

        this is the kind of thinking that gave us names like “pcmasterrace”. words mean things, their origins matter

          the original ricers were Japanese cars (early 80s), then from there rice came to mean cars with Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancements (90s) + from there we get rice’d out desktops (which is new to me but whatever).

          I am not as sure a rice desktop png is racist but if you feel like the term is opressing you or holding you back, could you consider opportunities to reclaim what is a good word (who doesn’t like rice?) and use it for positive cultural elements (modded desktops)? I don’t want to cede a good word to uninformed peoples from 40 yrs ago…history is too short to let them win!

            evidence points to “Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancements” being a “backronym”, an abbreviation that was invented after the word was already in usage – have you ever heard anyone calling an american or european car a “rice”?

            anyway, happily the c/unixporn moderator didn’t agree that it’s possible for people not targeted by a racist term to reclaim it for themselves, and that it’s not the responsibility of folks pointing out a word’s bigoted history to find an alternative, and racist terminology is now banned 😌

        step 1: go to your favourite search engine

        step 2: type “origin of the term ricing”

        step 3: ignore the results relating to soap, cooking, or the adorable-but-wrong backronym “Race Inspired Car Enhancements”

        step 4: discover that “ricing” was a) originally used as an insult (shitty cars with lots of mods) and b) referencing people from east Asia cos, yknow, japanchinesekorean people like rice

        step 5: stop using the word in the context of “mods”

        step 3 takes some nuance, fair enough
