I've seen 'Active / Passive' used, that seems alright. There's plenty of alternative terms to use without borrowing terminology from sexual roleplay.
Anyway, the Sub is supposed to be the one that's actually in control for this kind of thing (otherwise you'd just be in an abusive relationship), so that confuses things when you start trying to applying it elsewhere.
Top and bottom
Power bottoms would like a word with you.
The issue is acronyms; there's millions of products, schematics, datasheets, and manuals that refer to them as MISO and MOSI with no further explanation. Any new standard that doesn't fit runs into the 15-competing-standards problem, and ought to be followed by an "AKA MISO" every time it's used.
I've seen "Main" and "Secondary" be used exactly for this reason, as they keep the same first letter so don't require acronyms to be changed.
I've seen "Main" and "Support" be used likely for the same reason
daddy/kitten
Daddy/princess and Owner/kitten. Keep it straight!
I really hope they adopt this. Not just for tech. To me, the world would become a little bit more interesting with a payment card called a DomCard™ in it.
Im not having much luck getting top/bottom accepted at my job.
Not more wokism! Next they'll be demanding we stop talking about executing a child!
I vote for "OF-Model/Simp".
"Girlboss/Tier3"
Top/Bottom Step/Sibling Pitcher/Catcher Thot/Simp Bull/Cuck
Okay but what if I’m in a server room full of switches.
top/bottom, clearly.
Cargo Mommy module for Rust comes to mind for me.
Why does this have but plug support lmao.
you know why
no please stop, i'm so tired of googling kinky stuff, seeing a spicy looking result and opening it just to see some computer server stuff pick something else idk maybe capitalist & worker, bonus points for political commentary
Stop discriminating then, see the sexiness in the servers, the horniness in the harddrive.
After all why call it a hard drive if it doesn't make you hard
i already do, dronification kink represent, but at least make those search results spicier in their content!
A long time ago, in a job not so far away, I worked on a computer project where we were using Apache Jackrabbit.
I quickly learned that I needed to search for Apache Jackrabbit and not just Jackrabbit -- vibrators weren't relevant to the project.
But why master and slave would be a problem to begin with. I'm still using it in git. I think people that have problem with it must have serious issues. It's a US American thing. Makes no sense.
well,no. you don't have a slave branch in git. you could have dev, or staging, or something else. but a slave branch generally won't make sense.
No it doesn't sound bad, words don't need to be thrown away forever just because they've been used to describe unfair treatment. I'm so sick of having to relabel so many things that are so far divorced from the social issues they are used to describe. It's so pointless and has no impact, the code doesn't care which is master and which is the slave for they are simply descriptive labels.
Are we supposed to never use the words master or slave ever again?? What's next?
My dev friends, no matter their race, all say the exact same thing. We still use master over main, come at us I guess.
Honestly, while the controversy is incredibly stupid, it's not something to get worked up about. Not good for your heart 😜
You don't have to relabel anything, just keep using old names for old stuff and maybe consider switching to main for your next GitHub project? It's honestly not that big of a deal.
I work for s company that suddenly asked to rename a lot of stuff. This had consequences. It cost time, money, and created a disconnect between internal to the dev vocabulary that couldn’t be changed easily and user facing vocabulary. Also we were lucky but this could gave broken some long used API that we are proud not to version because the policy we have internally is “we will NEVER break the API”. And so far, for 8 years we still haven’t.
That's why I said to not rename existing stuff, but to consider changing default names for new things. Or don't. It's not the end of the world.
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. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
