If "Master/Slave" terminology in computing sounds bad now, why not change it to "Dom/Sub"? - eviltoast

It sounds way less offensive to those who decry the original terminology’s problematic roots but still keeps its meaning intact.

    I understand, but we can also gradually transition to friendlier terms so that our very white very male tech bro culture can include some diversith.

    I’m going to try to make new git branches with “main” instead of “master”, now, and just not worry about it where I can’t change it.
