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

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

I'll keep using master/slave. Political correctness bullshit be damned.

This also works for binary cable or interface connectors formerly known as "male" and "female".
I think manger / worker is a pretty easy one. It gets hard though because both of these terms are already used for class names everywhere.
Aren't IDE drives basically the only thing that used the master/slave terminology?
