  • “It would be weird to get offended because someone told you to”

    Right, but it happens. The post which triggered this reply chain is essentially a litmas test for what I’m describing.

    The acronym of RICE was made after the racist connotations were already established. It’s an attempt to rewrite history so people could continue saying it.

    It is documented to have come from racial origins in the 1960’s. Yet, I can’t find anything about the acronym from more than twenty years ago.


  • How to docker-compose in thirty seconds.

    Simply make a file called

    compose.yaml

    Then paste in the text from your application’s docker-compose instructions.

    Often the timezone needs to be set, along with the volume

    Example:

    volume: /mnt/hdd/data:/data

    This means the application’s data directory will be mounted at /mnt/hdd/data

    Then

    docker compose up -d

    You’re done, that’s all there is.

    docker-compose is fantastic because in a single compose.yaml file you can list multiple services.

    For example, my compose.yaml file contains my sonarr/radarr/bazarr/lidarr/prowlarr/qbittorrent/deemix/jellyfish/jellyseerr

    And I can update them all by running a shell script made of three lines.

    I can’t find any source to indicate Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancement was ever a term that existed as anything other than the Japanese version of an N-word-pass.

    That is to say: the acronym only exists as a means to explain why I should be allowed to continue calling your car a RICEr.

    The problem here is that someone fabricated an explanation for why they should be allowed to continue to say RICE, in response to a fallacious argument for why they shouldn’t be allowed to.

    The term is so far removed from any malicious origin, that some people wouldn’t even know they should feel offended, unless someone told them they should be.

    My partner is Korean, and I asked her if she thought this was racist. She said “it is (technically), but who is getting offended by that?”

    I never used the term in the first place, but if I did, I wouldn’t stop saying it because I know about its past.

    I’m fully convinced that anyone who is sincerely offended by that term is looking for something to be offended by.

    I don’t waste my time thinking about how “smooth brain” is offensive to people who literally have a smooth brain.

    I don’t waste my time dictating to the English; their colloquial term for a “cigarette” is inappropriate nowadays.

    And I don’t waste my time replying to comments on Lemmy regarding semantics.

    Oh, wait…
