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.

    You’ve made my point well.

    Absolutely I’ve already learnt it, and I don’t intend to stuff around translating. At first it’s one thing, maybe not cumbersome but then many things become a hassle.

    Master and slave are not in and of themselves offensive words. You just assign offence to them, based on certain specific context, again proving my point.
