    Inb4 normies force us to change well established terminology just to appease their fragile souls

    Like git’s main and master

        tbh i think “master” terminology is only bad if paired with “slave”. the word itself kinda just lost it’s original meaning
        but I don’t really care about git’s change. im only using master out of habit

      Oh yeah that was a shitshow. I made a point to keep “master” in my repos and configurations because it’s the other meaning of master - one of the many others. Words are allowed to mean different things, ya know? If I’m drinking some coke I’m certainly not drugging myself (…I hope).

      After all, the command to attach to a master is not “git slave”, it’s “git pull”.
