We can do both. I see what you mean in so far as “washing” like pretending that we fixed something when we really didnt, but I dont see it as a big deal, I mean, like I said elsewhere, I’ll try to switch.
Its sometimes little things in your vocab that cause you to stop and realize how ingrained certain aspects of our culture is.
But yeah, its not a solution. Theres a lot of things like it that you just do because its easy and you can.
I understand, but we can also gradually transition to friendlier terms so that our very white very male tech bro culture can include some diversith.
I’m going to try to make new git branches with “main” instead of “master”, now, and just not worry about it where I can’t change it.
Icinga2 uses it
Databses used to and switched to primary secondary
Code releses use master, develop…
Its all over software still but transitioning
Primary them in!
Edit: too late for this election.
