La Kwaaaaa BoyHi. Hello. Someone tried to scold me for moving a default branch from master to main by being very pedantic with the Oxford Dictionary so I just said, "Yeah well there are some men I call master so when I see the word I get an awkward chub," and immediately won the argument.
renegadespork@dkub Years ago I had a co-worker suggest (on Teams) we change "whitelist/blacklist" to "allowlist/blocklist".
I was confused, because I didn't think there was a racial connotation, so I spent about 30 minutes quietly digging through the etymology of the phrase and began a carefully constructed response about how it "wasn't offensive" and "here's the historical context..." etc.
While writing my reply, I stopped and thought, "Maybe this doesn't matter and I should just stfu." and deleted it.
