To be honest, “DHH switches to Linux and discovers ricing” was not on my 2024 bingo card.
@wood am I the only one who has no idea what “ricing” is?
@wood “Ricing is a term for customizing or enhancing a system for aesthetic purposes, often with no practical benefit”
Sounds like Enlightenment setups in the 1990s.
@getajobmike it’s a term they use to mean visually customizing your Linux desktop environment. Popular with these folks: https://www.reddit.com/r/unixporn/
r/unixporn - the home for *NIX customization!@getajobmike I’ve done a bit, it’s fun and a total rabbit hole, and the opposite of convention over configuration. 😁
@getajobmike surely you must have went through that phase of running Gentoo Linux with a tricked out FVWM/E17/*box WM, rxvt with a transparent background, gkrellm, xmms, and anime wallpaper?
@postmodern @getajobmike Enlightenment FTW!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That comment took me back, but was also spot on.
@getajobmike @wood this is part of the reason why I was happy to switch to macOS after loosing too much time tweaking UIs. But I really like what I am seeing in Gnome land.
