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

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted, clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report the message goes away and you never worry about it.
It's all good and well until you start working in a repo that has both master and main branches for some reason, and it is not clear which is actually the master/main branch.
Then you're working in an idiotic repo. You could just as well have have a master and an actual_master branch. Similar idiocy.
It only takes one person to fuck it up. I agree it's stupid, but introducing a conflicting standard increases the chances of someone fucking it up in the name of progressiveness. Needless to say I killed off the main branch that someone one had tried to make to replace the master branch.
A place I used to work at had that.. The corp had rolled out a non-delete policy with something akin to
*master
, so when someone made aabrv_master
branch it got protected and couldn't be deleted anymore.
