My thoughts exactly. The only positive to the deprecated name might have been its memorability, but that’s hardly worth using slave/master

It sounds precisely as edgy as I thought. Supervisor/grunt. Yodel/echo. I offered one with whimsy and another without as much edge.

That’s funny, I’m guessing they thought they were being original and edgy when they merely looped back to the older use. In any case, I’m glad programming lingo doesn’t sound like a klan rally

It’s weird seeing language shift away from “master” as we become more politically correct in the US. I’d never even considered the connotation until recently.

Nah, you’re just in a den of overly literal people. I’ve long since abandoned using sarcasm here.

It’s perfectly fine to be frustrated, but please avoid demeaning others. I couldn’t detect sarcasm in either comment, so I read them straight. Lemmy is so averse to sarcasm that I can rarely notice it when it’s there. Were you initially speaking sarcastically?

You’re not making much sense to me. I ask this sincerely and without prejudice or malice. Are you feeling alright? Do you believe that having someone to talk to might help?

Because I don’t want to interact with them outside of very specific, and sporadic, questions. Their presence is an active detriment to me. Let them go back to truth social.

I often see community memes and feel as though I took part in a collective fever dream. Good show

I didn’t feel like adding details to the American side of the equation, given that I replied during prime American hours on a conscientious community on a politically active website. It felt diminishing to assume this incredibly well known fact wasn’t known to most of the people who might read my comment

Well yes, they’re subsidized by a country that has focused on increasing the quality and speed of manufacturing for like 3 generations. The US stagnated on that front. You cannot compete with a subsidized oligopoly composed of more skillful people.

I mean, it is. And there’s nothing wrong with that. The dark flavor is perfectly necessary. It’s liquid smoke, but better.

Eh, it’s just not worth the effort to get a tablet that will still run poorly even after poring over half deleted xda threads. Were there any chance that the original surface running another OS could be useful, I’d do it. But it’d be a poor experience no matter what, based on what I’ve read.

And it seems like android sucks on there as well. Damn.

You’re describing a sturdy tablet running Linux. Speaking of which, I just remembered the worst gift I have ever been given, a gen1 windows surface! The sack of shit couldn’t even run windows, the OS it was designed for, without freezing. Gonna see if I can dig it out and swap the OS!

Used enterprise minis are dirt cheap. The only downside is that they guzzle electricity compared to a low spec pi, but they can do much more, so don’t be afraid to give them additional tasks.

Kids really need to be introduced to Linux earlier. None of this iPad baby shit.

What’s with masto’s spontaneous drop in posts and contemporaneous rise in users about a month ago?

I’m so sorry, but that’s hilarious

Might just be a workflow thing with a small group or singular dev. Sense is largely irrelevant in the face of “I’ve been doing it this way since 15 years before github came online”
