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 agree that active/reserve is a better way of saying it, and that’s the way I’ve always said it when working with these systems. Honestly I may have never heard master slave in actual use in 15 years of regularly describing such systems.
