I don't get the outrage on /g/ every time someone brings this up, they're absolutely right that master/slave is a harkening back to chattel slavery and has no place in technology or open source (emphasis on open)

Right... So we should ban BDSM sex because of slavery connotations? Sex in general because of rape connotations? How about global trade because of connotations with colonialism?

The simple answer to that is No. Let's not let busybodies cramming their own extra connotations into everything run the show. Let's just tell these people to cram their "criticism" where the sun doesn't shine?

Busybodies like you trying to cram your own interpretations into things so that you can change something you have had no part in creating REALLY doesn't constitute criticism. It's like me saying that you can't wear the clothes that you like because it somehow reminds of the nazi's.

Attempts at criticism are not automatically valid in any shape or form. If they're valid they hold up to scrutiny and if they're just some busybody trying to imply something people haven't given a shit about for decades is somehow offensive then they don't hold up to scrutiny and are not valid.

The way things are bothers some people who support their case with reasons while the majority never even thinks about it. Some of you make it seem like you're about to burn your hard drives in protest but, most likely, the truth is you probably don't really care wtf it's called. The reactionary stances some of y'all take in these white male-dominated hobbies and fields in opposition to issues brought up by parties driven by their experiences in discrimination is so devoid of principle it's nauseating.

It is probably literally of no consequence that something like this type of terminology changes into a new norm but it causes such disproportional vitriol.

In case you're not convinced that you're jedi-mind-tricked by your image board cohorts into being what those in society refer to as "man child," test yourself by NOT getting mad at the following words and phrases:

Banning the master/slave terminology to describe the model is banning it even when you do it in an open source project. The fact that it's an open source project is completely irrelevant.

Yes, it's a reference to something that hasn't existed in the west for about a century and a half. To take offense over it NOW despite the terminology existing for decades is COMPLETELY and utterly stupid. It's like right now taking offense over words like "mankind" "manpower" or "workman".

>>
>>54190801

What's the context? Master and slave are *extremely* clear. It's used in hydraulics (e.g. brakes) all the time. Why? Because the master cylinder tells the slave cylinder exactly what to do.

>>54190977

It appears master and slave are entirely the wrong words for whatever context this is. Sounds like master was somewhat relevant (e.g. master copy, master database), but slave was nonsensical.

What i'm saying is it's not something acceptable for a public and open project like Open Source, by nature is. If we want to get into shit comparisons, its like open defecation vs shitting in your own toilet.

why is it not acceptable? because you think proper descriptive terms might hurt somebody's "feelings"? has anybody's feelings ever actually been hurt by this or has there just been an outcry of faggots like you who think somebody's feelings might potentially be hurt? you do realize that the term "slave" has no racial, ethnic, or even social connotations, right? there were slave dynasties of rulers in the medieval islamic world for fucks sake.

>And also, what makes removing master/slave terminology so unacceptable?
because it's fucking pointless and tells everybody around you that you're a worthless crybaby who should jump off a bridge

>>54191422
You do realize that you're moaning about terminology that's been in place since decades before you were born? The problem is that you're pretending to be upset over something that nobody has given a shit about for decades because it's very descriptive of the relationship between the two or more parties.

You're demanding that very descriptive and well working terminology should be changed because of some manufactured outrage. Of course people are going to be pissed off when well functioning things get changed to less well functioning things for no good reason. You probably wouldn't be happy ether if you saw something well working changed for something less well working for a reason you found to be stupid.

The reason people get agitated over the words "trigger warning" and "problematic" is because the context in which they're used is pretty much always really stupid and/or childish. Here you are being "triggered" over well descriptive terminology that nobody has given a shit about for decades so if anyone is up past their bedtime, it's you.

Unlike the genocide and the rwandan genocide, there's literally nobody alive that's suffered from slavery in the west. Decades ago when the terminology was first created there wasn't one alive ether meaning that there's never been anyone who can seriously claim to take offense from this terminology. So when all of the survivors of the two genocides are dead AND if they can be used to make a very good description then possibly then.

However nobody is actually offended over master/slave, so stop pretending that it's somehow offensive.

I've naturally gone to "Primary/Secondary" in my code, however; "Master/Slave" is just as valid considering we've been using it for many things forever now. The only issue is that you've got some knee-jerk bitch complaining about it.

Admittedly, I haven't used GitHub or done anything with Open Source Development, when does this kind of thing become an issue?

Do you upload your code to GitHub, then someone pulls your code, then they come and complain about it when they find something that might offend them?

Nice straw man there, but no dice because I know what a straw man is.

I could to some extent understand that you'd take offense over a joke about slavery or people trying to defend it, but you're pretending to take offense over a REFERENCE to how chattel slavery worked.

Think about it... You're LITERALLY trying to pretend just REFERNCING how chattel slavery worked is somehow offensive. It's like pretending to be offensive over people describing the horrors of the holocaust.

No, because there are people who write and read code. If they work with software that incorporates master/slave terminology, it sends the message to them that slavery is normal and acceptable.

I would find this terminology ambiguous. Master/slave gives the understanding that the master is the master telling the slave what to do. While secondary implies it does the same things the primary does and don't necessarily have to listen to the primary one.

Its master/slave, not Massa/Nigga.

if the program echoed "yes massah" to stdin everytime it did something, then you would have a point.

Master and Slave perfectly describe the function and relation of the two, what they do, and how they do it.

The Terms "normalizing" anything. You remove words that remind you of bad things and dilute language.

No One uses master & slave in modern terminology other than these functions.

It is a honest-to-goodness simple, readable, and accurate description of the relationship between the devices in question; there's no ambiguity with garbage like "primary/secondary" and there's no complexity like with whatever the fuck that "SLAVEOF NO ONE" "change" was. For their humanities degrees (or lack thereof), these "champions of social justice" who pride themselves on culture and arts have no actual understanding about (the English) language and how to fit it to a specific purpose.

The master slave paradigm is not about racial oppression you self absorbed millennial twat.
It is the communication protocol of two consenting adults who have a less traditional sex life.

>How is this equivalent to burning history books? No one's saying slavery didn't exist, but why do we have to normalize slavery? Remembering the horrors of slavery is important precisely to prevent ourselves from accepting it s normal.

Slavery WAS NORMAL for every race, culture, tribe, and nation throughout human history. It was "cis white Christian males" who had a moral problem with it. And those same "cis white Christian males" sacrificed blood and treasure to put an end to it.

The ONLY reason slavery was eliminated in the west and reduced in the world was because the European powers, still under the influence of Christianity, lost their stomach for it, and the British Empire then pressured the rest of the globe. This involved more than diplomacy. They set their navy to work against the slave traders. It was essentially a global war.

And guess who gets blamed for slavery? The very people who fought it.

Here's another tidbit: if Christianity and the west diminish, slavery will return in full force. It still exists in Africa, the ME, and parts of Asia, despite pressure from the west.

Do lefties fight real slavery in the world? That would require getting up off their asses. Much better to join a repo and bitch about "muh normalizing triggering terminology."

Pro tip: "Master/Slave" does not have a "racial connotation" basically anywhere else in the world or to anyone who has the ability to see beyond their own bellybutton. The Romans or Egyptians were keeping slaves thousands of years before you fags and they weren't even the first.
Tell me this, do you feel guilty when you see a vending machine? It has to stand around all day, in heat or cold, and serve anyone that comes up to it. It has no choice in doing so, it cannot refuse, it doesn't get vacations, hell it doesn't even get rewarded for it's hard work.
Are you speaking up against the oppression of vending machines? No? So stop crying about the way we refer to certain computer code.

It’s an OFFICIAL, TAX-PAYING, CERTIFIED, DELAWARE-INCORPORATED business that is employing people, producing new products, contributing to the economy, making money and getting things done.
