'Master' and 'slave': Tech terms face scrutiny amid anti-racism efforts

<< < (178/352) > >>

TheNewLab:
Since the IDE hard drive, I have always wondered if someone would make it an issue

I like the first suggestion. Main and secondary..simple  same initials, I like this. Main and secondary..it works


COPI ? it took me long enough to figure out the difference between the Master and slave of hard drives.
can we just use the first suggestion? maybe a slow transition towards COPI?

So what C-cops? and P-perps?

Quick, better scrub the internet of every last datasheet and application note so that the evil words may be removed from view.  :palm:

Look, I totally agree with them that humans should be treated with respect. A bus is not a person, however.

1984: it was a warning, not a handbook!!

This might be the most succinct expression I've seen of why people are mad at all this nonsense.

This is so mind-numbingly stupid! I absolutely refuse to use the new terms, I will not cave into the over the top PC nonsense and perpetuate the euphemism treadmill. It's ridiculous and it will never end. Screw these organizations and their time wasting virtue signalling.

Are they not aware that SDI is already taken by a digital video standard? This is a perfect example of creating completely unnecessary confusion to appease people who are clueless about the field they are trying to change.
