I was always wondering about the etymology: the relation between UI customisation and rice is as far from obvious as it can possibly be, and as a non-American I wasn't aware […]
she wouldn't know the etymology, but fish probably would. teaching opportunity both about that specific word and the near-ubiquity of casual racism in IT

@neauoire the not-so-distant future of the techno-mage will not be racist.
Thank you for educating me on the finer details of our current time-line evils.
@prahou you've changed it! thanks prahou 💜
