tbh i think “master” terminology is only bad if paired with “slave”. the word itself kinda just lost it’s original meaning
but I don’t really care about git’s change. im only using master out of habit
Oh yeah that was a shitshow. I made a point to keep “master” in my repos and configurations because it’s the other meaning of master - one of the many others. Words are allowed to mean different things, ya know? If I’m drinking some coke I’m certainly not drugging myself (…I hope).
After all, the command to attach to a master is not “git slave”, it’s “git pull”.
Inb4 normies force us to change well established terminology just to appease their fragile souls
Like git’s main and master
Whining about that change is kinda a red flag ngl
Right? It’s less letters and it’s pretty clear.
I haven’t found a good action neutral replacement for “black list” yet though. “Deny list” and “block list” are too action-specific.
Sounds like a nono list to me!
Or enemy list, but that might be too presidential…
Maybe you jest but now I’m seriously wondering why hasn’t this been proposed. It’s defo better than something like “disallow list”.
Shit list?
I started using git after everyone switched to main from master, so I don’t care about the change. But, the change in itself is a red flag.
Why tho
