probably because the vagueposting in the top half of your comment wasn’t actually clearly stating what it meant, and the latter half suffers from internet-stalking-horse incorrect conclusionism

just a guess tho.

starter tip: stop talking about women as if they don’t have any agency, and stop using them as a reasoning device in your unnecessary posts

the thing is that the git branch naming was only one of the places among many where this was changed, and in many databases (and often other server-subsystem architectures) master/slave terminology was quite present. iirc there are still some that stick by it today (mostly out of direct choice by project maintainers)

it’s the same thing as whitelist/blacklist, vs allowlist/denylist (or others) - when there’s bad shit linked in baggage, and the cost of changing it (by habit and choice) isn’t all that much, there’s not really any reason to hold by the the old loaded shit

harm reduction comes in many forms

You’d be surprised

I wouldn't be :) have visited many of them, and worked in a fair couple too

what was shocking (on my first visit there) is how absolutely fucking antiquated US infra is across multiple dimensions. not shocking these days, I now understand so many of the reasons for it

that understanding also makes so much of what comes out of the US (and its weird obsessions with specific non-solutions) make a lot more sense

just imagine the kinda thinking that goes into even "I can make this post for fun, that'll be a gas"
