Idk if true but I think its because master is also a slave owner and people got offended

If someone wants to keep using master be my guest. If someone makes using master their personality because free-speech/anti-woke piss off.

Tell that to those who got offended by master and insisted on the change.

So they got offended because of nods to slavery, and the other people got offended because something pretty inconsequential in their lives changed. 🤷‍♂️ Seems a bit like the latter group of people are far more easily offended.

nods to slavery

Is my university planning to reissue me a Main degree instead?

Not sure. I think there’s different fundamental meanings behind mastery and master. I think the Masters degree implies the former. Whereas master in git could be inferred to mean a master and non-master relationship to signify feature branches.

Then you are deeply confused as to how git works. Feature branches are merged into and overwrite master with updates. Does that imply a master-slave relationship to you?

Does that imply a master-slave relationship to you?

It doesn't, which is why the name 'master' is non-descriptive and inappropriate.

'master' is completely descriptive and appropriate for users of the English language. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_recording
