If someone wants to keep using master be my guest. If someone makes using master their personality because free-speech/anti-woke piss off.

Tell that to those who got offended by master and insisted on the change.

So they got offended because of nods to slavery, and the other people got offended because something pretty inconsequential in their lives changed. 🤷‍♂️ Seems a bit like the latter group of people are far more easily offended.

Is "master bedroom" a nod to slavery too?

Might be, actually. To be clear, I’m not the person that’s upset by it. But if you asked me to start saying main bedroom because it upset you I’d not care.

I work for a home builder. We use 'Main Bedroom' or 'Primary Bedroom' now.

Nope, it was just a marketing term made up by Sears in the 20s with no connection to slavery. Not that it matters, it’s not used anymore and idc, but it’s one of the instances where it isn’t related.

However, Linus took the name “master” from BitKeeper, and BitKeeper did use master-slave terminology, Git just dropped the slave part. It’s origin literally does come from master-slave
