We should probably stop referring to nice teeth as straight and white too. Wouldn’t want to offend. If you can’t disambiguate software development from human abuse the problem is your grasp of semantics not society.
This just seems like a wholly childish comment. White and straight seem like good descriptions for teeth. Why do you feel outraged by the conversation around improving technology to be more inclusive?

We have to get real. These problems are real. So tackle them in a real way.
Renaming branches in version control is virtue signalling horseshit.
Wake up.
Yeah, I get it. It is a necessary change just so you take this of the table and not deal with the sporadic complaints that would come. Keeping the 'master' or 'master-slave' (in context of HA) terms just isn't worth potentially offending someone, or losing a sale, or getting bad press. We changed our verbage a couple years in our product as well just for that reason (Master-Slave to Primary-Secondary). The previous c…

The terms whitelist and blacklist aren’t very precise. The better terms allow list, deny list or something that more concretely describes the auth model are actually helpful.
Well, the whole discussion is made of silly hills not worth dying on, so to speak, so maybe it's par for the course ...

Because if you apply this equally you can’t use the word “pussy cat”. We have to get real. These problems are real. So tackle them in a real way. Renaming branches in version control is virtue signalling horseshit. Wake up.

> I wish we, the global community, didn't all have to pay for America's internal cultural hangups. Can't wait for Disney to remove any references to the "Dark Side" in Star Wars, Harry Potter to rename the "Dark Arts" into the "Bad Arts" and Lord of the Rings' "Black Riders" to become the "Evil Horsemen." Nobody ever used to connect the term "blacklist" to race. But common sense doesn't seem to play a role anymore.
> What? How can you do this?! This is outrageous! It's unfair! How can you be on the council and not be a Main?!
I dunno, the dialogues were always terrible in the prequels, maybe it will improve matters. :/

The most unfortunate part of all this churn is that git didn’t provide a way to ask it what a repository’s main branch is named.
