Showerthoughts

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

It sounds way less offensive to those who decry the original terminology's problematic roots but still keeps its meaning intact.

That makes no sense whatsoever.

It makes sense because "master copy" is the name of the "official" version of something. Nothing to do with slavery by the way.

But "Main" is more clear, and putting in extra effort to basically just piss off politically (over)correct people doesn't make any sense, and is kinda weird tbh

It’s already not the master copy if you have release branches or tags, but it is the “main” branch 🤪

most things in life make very little sense, have you ever thought about land rights?

I don't know about Scrollone, but I hate it when corporations force me to change for the sake of change. Options to change is fine (in case someone doesn't like the default), of course.

And no, "inclusivity" is not the actual reason, as that's already covered by adding the option to change (which again, is completely fine)
