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

sub should be lowercase. Even at the start of a sentence.

I'm not sure we even need that terminology at this point... I knew it from hard drives but I'm either 1) dealing with way more than two drives, or 2) using Linux which I don't even think of as a master/slave so much as a fuck-you-mount-me-or-not-I-don't-care partitions.

I'm not really sure where else it's used, especially since everything else seems to just be primary/secondary. But I'm no CS major so IDK.

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

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
    • 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.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
