Mozilla is paying $15,000 to replace all of the instances of the word "slave" from the project.
Cancelled my monthly donations. What an egregious waste of funds.

Also, as it turns out, they were getting a paycheck from having Pocket in the browser:
http://www.ghacks.net/2015/12/05/mozilla-has-a-revenue-share-agreement-with-pocket/
They mislead users by saying that they weren't paid directly by Pocket to get it integrated, but conveniently ignored that they were still being paid by including them.
>>51822139
they even use Slave to explain their architecture.
Fuck Mozilla, seriously
>>51823308
I think that is the point of this they want it to use more "neutral" wording

It's not exactly that easy because there are images and probably documents in various formats like pdf and shit that have to be redone as well. Also the files aren't necessarily in one place either you might have to do that for hundreds/thousands of files.

Philippino maids in Saudi Arabia are basically slaves. They go there to find work, get into a home and their "employers" confiscate their passports, rape them and abuse them. Google it. Also, this happens everywhere.Hong Kong, London, Moscow.
Also, slavery exists in the U.S. Obviously you don't hear about it unless you do some actual research, it helps if you have access to sociology journals. There have been cases of Mexican migrant workers being held hostage on Orange farms in Florida, their passports get taken away and they get put under armed guard and are forced to work for free. There are organisations that try combat this problem but most people don't really believe it's happening.
>>51825598
The master drive receives a command via the bus and then relays it to the appropriate disk (one of its slaves), making it do the job FOR NO REMUNERATION. Hence, master and slave.
>>51825613
Slavery eh?
They make more money in Saudi than they ever would working in the Phillipines.
Also, there is no room for abuse in an Islamic country. True facts: my aunt reported an attempted rape case, turns out the man had previous history, and they protected her. Muslim hosts are actually very nice, as long as you respect their customs.
>>51825557
wut, I didn't know it was so widespread
>>51825637

>>51825620
the term is still ambiguous, when i read "master/slave architecture" i don't know if the documentation means "replicated state machine", "system that decides jobs / system that runs jobs", or something else. this is an important distinction. the terms "[primary|master]/[secondary|replica]" or "[master|dispatcher]/worker" are not ambiguous and should be used instead
>>51825637
compensation is irrelevant. if you can't stop working of your own volition, it is - literally - the textbook definition of slavery.

>claiming SJW boogeyman are meme
>in a thread that's literally about SJW ruining mozilla
>>51825691
Actually, I have no clue what you are talking about. Master slave provides an easy frame of reference to the separation of labour between the components, whose exact nature doesn't matter because the important part of the architecture is no the nature of the slave but rather it's relationship to the master. Calling it a replica need no imply it's lower or higher than the original, secondary instills no reference to their interelationship as secondary systems need not be dependent on the primary ones, and worker doesn't describe the fact the relationship is constant and fixed rather than a resource to be used by whichever superior might be involved.
Master-slave is the clearest of them all for just about all systems.
>>51825637
Like I said, many of them get their passports confiscated and are kept there regardless of what whether they want to leave or not. If they're in a good home, of course they earn more. If they are not (which is often the case) they don't earn anything at all and are mistreated on top of that. So no, they are not better off.
>>51825688
>Use to use pale moon but to many sites are broken on it due to missing features.

Nope, I worked as an engineer for the military in Saudi Arabia.

SJWs got the co-founder of the Mozilla project and inventor of JavaScript to step down as CEO by inciting an online mob over a personal donation he made in 2008.
They already won. The current CEO responded to an anonymous post from a Mozilla employee about how "social justice" is stealing the focus of the company by saying that he will find out who posted it and have them fired immediately.
Anyone who says SJWs aren't a problem is either an SJW or willfully ignorant of current events.

this is so wrong it's comical
>Calling it a replica need no imply it's lower or higher than the original
... no? it's pretty obviously "lower", since it's not the authoritative source
>secondary instills no reference to their interelationship as secondary systems need not be dependent on the primary ones
not how the term is used
>worker doesn't describe the fact the relationship is constant and fixed rather than a resource to be used by whichever superior might be involved
ok, no. that is not how the term "worker" is used. a "resource to be used by whichever superior might be involved" is typically called a "resource"
I already moved to Chrome some years ago but that was when I was using Linux and flash got put on life support for anything but Chrome.
Now I'm waiting for extensions in Edge and I'll happily just use that instead.
As a Firefox and Thunderbird user this is embarrassing on a few levels, 1 on a personal level, the fact these people are so insecure and immature about a standard term and 2 on a professional level, this is straight up some straight up dubious money laundering tier idiocy, "oh yeah we need 15k to find replace".
I try very hard to separate a product from the producer but they are trying even harder to get me to stop using their product, I've already given up on supporting and promoting it out of sheer embarrassment, this is so far from the Netscape days.

>>51825869
When servo is released and there's like a million projects using it like there are for webkit that's probably when I'm going to move away from firefox. The leadership at Mozilla is incompetent and I stopped caring about them years ago.
>>51825869
And no, they will never beat Chromium. Mozilla tries hard to emulate Blink, but they will never succeed. A copycat company can never outsmart real developers! Perhaps they come close, but they will always lose.

I used to think "Mozilla copying Google" was a meme, but over the last few years they stole Chrome's UI, adopted Chrome's extension format, created a "web-based OS" just like ChromeOS, started merging patches from Chrome (like the image scaling algorithm from a few years ago), etc.
Add in the ads they put in the speed dial and the sponsored extensions that get bundled with the browser and Mozilla seems to have zero interest in giving their audience what they want, and is solely focused on making more money no matter what.
Plus what, two years ago, they bought a new office in the middle of Paris with gold leaf decor to show off how much money they're wasting. (Pic related)
Anyone who's still supporting this joke of an organization needs to get a clue.
>>51825890
-Work as an engineer, not a Mozilla developer, so maybe?
-No they do not, as described
-Repeating it won't make it true.
-No it isn't. Replica's having equal authority isn't something new in terminology, as they are are merely copies which, generally, either try to keep consistent with the original but can do things on their own or just out right ignore it.
-Sure it is. Secondary cooling, control, sockets, and others are not lower in importance but meant as replacements to a system should it fail. The term secondary express nothing about of authority but rather the order of usage. After all, when you boot a computer and you say your secondary boot source is your USB you aren't saying your USB boot is under the control of your hard drive. That's retarded.
-Exactly, you have to add your own little explanation as to what it means in order for it to make sense.
TL;DR: get fucked, C+Equality programmer.
>>51825942
No they aren't, they are ambiguous ot the nature of the systems and convey no information that cannot be surmised from Master/Slave.
>>51825942
Which is why they're not usable as opposed to master/slave to describe the nature of the relationship (it would be like calling all felines "cats" despite the fact that lions are not cats).

I want to fucking die, a web browser is the most important piece of software for me, I use it more than anything. Firefox has progressively been getting worse, I don't even understand how that's possible. Opera is dead so even if it was better at some point it's not like I can switch to it now, everything using webkit seems so fucking slow and memory intensive that I can't stand it. Firefox was the only sane one left for a while and they're progressively getting more insane and less good.

What the fuck is going on with this recent trend of inclusivity in every field? Why cater to people who don't actually matter to you? People that are offended by the world "slave" are not worth working with in my opinion, those seem like troublemakers who waste project money on nonsense like this. People who demand change without the ability to do it themselves so they tell others to do it for them, what a credit to the project. People of value are able to look past things like this since they don't actually matter when considering the scope of your work.

One of the biggest reasons companies like Microsoft, Apple and Google are pushing inclusivity because the more people that get into the labor pool, the lower the cost of labor gets.
The problem is that they are perpetuating a negative stereotype about women by implying that the only way to get women involved in tech is to treat them like children. Of course most of the people championing inclusivity are actually white males, so this isn't much of a surprise. They're speaking on behalf of a group they aren't a part of and making fools of themselves in the process.

Didn't Debian spend a shitload of money on a women's outreach program which made them cancel other real efforts?
I will never understand the mentality of trying to bring in people who obviously do not want to work in the field into your field. That shit really blows my mind, like no amount of training is going to force people to want to work for you.
I'm not slagging on Debian but that was a dumb move if it was them.

I'm a fetishist with a girlfriend who regularly plays master/slave.
I feel offended by mozilla trying to makeo ut voluntary passtime's terminology a taboo. After all, the word slave in the context of IT has nothing to do with the immoral kind of slaves, yet it's being banned. By that same logic, her being my slave (voluntarily) is also being targeted by mozilla.

In this case it makes for a worse product though which means less investment opportunities for Mozilla as well as more costs since they have to take on more people inherently and also take in even more to accommodate for the slack. Am I wrong about that?

Have you even tried the servo branch? Sure it's a much cleaner code base but it is also much slower than todays firefox (not to mention buggy but that is to be expected since it's pre-release and it's lacking some features).
And when I say slower i really mean slow-ass-molasses-crap, like, the graphs used in some media news a few months ago claiming improved threaded performance comparison are blatant lies!
All Mozilla had were the the loyal community, most programmers, that liked their course of actions, now it looks like this is the end...

When you attack the whole idea of "must have equal representation no matter what the actual available labor pool looks like" by bringing up dirty, physically demanding or just downright dangerous jobs that are male dominated the people who push this idea usually crack and reveal the true purpose of it.
Basically what they end up explaining is that it's not actually about equal representation of genders and races in general, but rather getting more women and non white or asian into cushy well paid jobs that are right now dominated by white and asian men.
Then there's also businesses that have grabbed onto this in their eternal conquest to drive down the costs of labor and are seeing an opportunity to lower the cost of the domestic labor pool by just flooding it with people who otherwise wouldn't be interested.
The reasoning why Mozilla removes features and tries to be like Chrome. Read the bottom of the screen-capped picture!

They imply that blacks are lesser than whites and need assistance to achieve anything.

Remember shoop da woop?
Seriously thou, 4chan hasn't been anywhere near progressive since at least 2010.
Did any black person ever actually say they feel uncomfortable about master/slave terminology? Is it worth getting rid of a well-established, useful piece of jargon if it makes us feel a little bit better about the world? Do we need to eliminate words from our language when they have alternate meanings that remind us of bad stuff that happened?
I wonder how many more Talent of Color will feel more comfortable getting into systems programming because their white coworkers aren't calling inanimate objects "master" and "slave" anymore.
>>51826565
That's thoughtcrime, senpai.
>>51826436
>-You serious don't know about Multi-master replication?
the terminology "[primary|master]/replica" isn't used in that context. multi-master replication doesn't involve "replicas" at all - that's the entire point.
>-Again, repeating it won't make it true.
so, you are seriously trying to argue that semantic meanings are useless? what is the point of language at all then?
>-Make a secondary system be of lower importance in any real project and they manager will smack you for making your fallback be a liability.
well, yeah, you want your secondaries to work. not sure what you mean here. the usage order is still primary -> secondary.

Even the animal related ones were bad. Pedobear glorified sex with children. Pretty much all of the lingo was, and continues to be, homophobic (fag suffix on pretty much everything).

No, they do not. Palemoon is now WILDLY different from regular firefox and most addons don't work right in it at all. Palemoon also has a different program identifier so technically addons are not even supposed to work in it unless they're specifically designed to.
Palemoon is really not worth switching to unless you want the entire point of firefox (addons) to be completely undone.

This whole "must do ridiculous shit because somebody might get offended" is for the most part just white people wanting to feel good about themselves by trying to follow what their white guilt complex tells them to.
I remember talking to a white guy who was a SJW a few years ago and he motivated basically giving black people the red carpet treatment with feeling guilty about what white people had done in the past. When I told him I don't feel the least bit guilty about something I could not have had any kind of control over and the only connection to the people who did all those awful things is that I'm born the same race he told me something that really opened my eyes to the SJW mentality.
Basically what he said was that he thought it would be a tragedy if everyone thought like me as then the progress of social justice would stop and people would no longer donate money to charities or foreign aid.
What I realized from that is that SJW:ism is basically a combination of white guilt and the same kind of "If people didn't follow the bible society would fall apart"-thinking that religious people use to fight atheism.
