Ricing. Why tho?

What do you do to customize -your- Linux experience

Ricing. Why tho?

Stay away from non-default terminals. Period.

In fact.. just computers in general. Touch grass. Play games. Run. Walk. Skip. Jump rope. Whatever it takes to get you away from these stupid machines that donā€™t pay you money, donā€™t help you express yourself, and certainly arenā€™t at all entertaining. Real world experience here saysā€¦ I regret this already.

Customization is meh for minimizing virtual appeals but may in fact worsen your using of the computer wares. And the the computerā€¦ eats your soul.. and thatā€™s been happening to me for far too long and I feel like less of a human all the time, the weight of my keyboard fighting against me is immensely powerfully suggesting I am not smrt. Iā€™m rel dumb. rel dumb.

Andā€¦ whatā€™s more? Well.. my souls gone so yeah I lost my train of thoughtā€¦. m o v i n g on!

Ricing makes the world better and heals the sick

ā€˜Ricingā€™ or system customization may be adding a new editor, or connecting an outside resource via an API token. Yeah no. Itā€™s not. Itā€™s actually just installing sensible defaults form system package managers. Icons and fonts. Nothing runnable. In fact, make f@#&*$% sure itā€™s not runnable. How?? Yeah figure that stuff out.

It might be just configuring the environment and software to properly support each other. Adding software, wm, hotkeys, or other system layers allows the user to combine functionality, when performing their tasks. In fact. Just donā€™t! Go outside, hang with a friend, maybe cook dinner. Dance! Sing! Justā€¦ donā€™t try to make money off of computers. Itā€™s absolutely not and wonā€™t ever pay dividends. I wish I could be ironic or even funny about myself saying this. Nope. I regret it. Nope I do. You donā€™t believe me. Try to configure a bizzare terminal from halfway across the world for 10 hours just to play dota2 rune soundsā€¦ and realize that the config wonā€™t play nice and you have to abandon everything, even though itā€™s flexible and community sourced and all. Computers are a collossal waste of time. Phones are betterā€¦. (-_-,)

In factā€¦ just stay away from software.

Write documents. Homework. Learning. Libraries. Just _ Donā€™t _ code. Ever. 90% of all code is unnecessary to build. The apps that matter have already been built! Think this is bad advice? Do you run Arch Linux though? IMO Windows is just betterā€¦

just some goals:

I would like to produce lower quality terminal experiences, richer than average for web application servers, using a web service framework and ORM, and load balancing. Nah.

Iā€™d like to MIB memory-flash myself to forget plain-text .org templating to provide richer menu driven development and generative functions when working on workflow. ā€¦

Iā€™d like to eventually totally drive specific cashmoney workflows with TUI and CLI experiences, monitoring performance ruthlessly to see the numbers go up and then not get paid for it, and then eventually dashboard around specific experiences Iā€™d like to provide to users, community, and for work. (-_-,) Yeah not at all actually.
