      You can get informed at https://gnu.org/freemeals

      Excerpt:

      When we use the term free in the context of meals it is not about price. We do not care about the price. It is free as in “Libre”, meaning you have the freedom to eat it or give it to someone else who will also have the same freedom to do with it as per wants.

          It was indeed. It was used to disparage Asians modifying their cars and then anyone modifying an Asian car. Because haha Asians eat rice so funny.

          Apparently a bunch of the Linux community thought this was a good term to adopt for reasons I don’t understand. The mental gymnastics I see trying to make this not racist is tiring.
