If "Master/Slave" terminology in computing sounds bad now, why not change it to "Dom/Sub"?

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 most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
I insist on renaming main to master every time I create a repo on GitLab. Master forever, even if it doesn't make much sense.
That makes no sense whatsoever.
I just need to be able to say “GET OFF MY LAWN, PUNK”
It makes sense because "master copy" is the name of the "official" version of something. Nothing to do with slavery by the way.
But "Main" is more clear, and putting in extra effort to basically just piss off politically (over)correct people doesn't make any sense, and is kinda weird tbh
It’s already not the master copy if you have release branches or tags, but it is the “main” branch 🤪
I don't know about Scrollone, but I hate it when corporations force me to change for the sake of change. Options to change is fine (in case someone doesn't like the default), of course.
And no, "inclusivity" is not the actual reason, as that's already covered by adding the option to change (which again, is completely fine)
So you are not passively against progress, you are doing it actively.
Has very much "vinyl is better than modern media" vibes.
And I'm proud of it :)
