Showerthoughts

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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

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

I was just doing client and host but I'm down for some kink in my computers.

I use it if it's already in use, but if I'm starting a new design I try to avoid "Master" and I really try to avoid "Slave"

Don’t know anyone who has a problem with it

I think it was just an ad campaign by Github to capitalize on BLM

I've had people at the company I work complain about it internally.

We agreed on Primary/Secondary and Primary/Replica already. Sorry.

But why master and slave would be a problem to begin with. I'm still using it in git. I think people that have problem with it must have serious issues. It's a US American thing. Makes no sense.

Slavery is a world wide problem.

That is going to be solved by making IT nerds pretend to forget the word exists?

Hunger is also a world wide problem, doesn't stop me from saying I'm starving!
