Just call it the zero color wink wink

The author was that after getting a look at how Stalin's USSR worked.
I think we can agree that even a marxist-themed totalitarianism in an English-speaking country is extremely unlikely to be Stalinist, thus similar to 1984.

That's old news.

You what the master terminology comes from? Master and slave. USB devices do this day use this terminology master device and slave device. There’s no reason to be perpetuating the terms sever and client work fine. Main branch also works fine.

Main branch sounds like it's pro-tree and therefore anti-mushroom! Get him, everyone!!!!

But, it is unlike that. Companies were changing the name of an existing feature to be more inclusive. Trump is more REMOVING data sets or data fields entirely. It's not renaming "gender" to "sex" because they believe there is no difference, it's completely removing climate change information from websites.
-
Master in branch meant the same as the master of an audio track or video. We haven't all stopped saying "remaster" or "masterpiece".
As it turns out, there are software developers from outside the country with people whose grandparents-grandparents were chattel slaves, and they name things without the same baggage. It's Gulf of America stuff, but for the 'good guys'.

To be fair, when the poem was written we were getting our asses kicked and survival was not assured.
If you look at the events of the moment, the significant part is the "not getting killed" part.
If things had gone differently, we could all be speaking English today!

Since people can drown in water, we must ban water!

To be fair, it wasn't even adopted as the national anthem until 1931in the middle of decades of nationalism, and hateful "patriotism" designed to force a very specific image of America that is NOT inclusive to others.
Today there are far too many morons who think so many of these oppressive things were instituted by the founders and therefore it should remain as is forever. The same assholes who think some past heyday was "better" than today.
It's up there with the pledge of allegiance, in god we trust, and various statues and shit.
Fuck these people.

I don't think the argument is worth having.
Only thing I will say is that the audio world has no common meaning for a slave.
Programming does. -
The server does not necessarily control the client though. Looking at the list of alternatives, I like boss/controller–worker the most.

Someone smart tell me how to take advantage of this to make the IRS forget I exist.

change your name to Diversity E. Inclusion

What a waste of human endeavor.

I am too. And I can't help thinking I'm in some dystopian society.

This will break if the filename has spaces in it iirc.
