Just saying, certain people are very very happy to point out the violence of the oppressed, yet throw a hissy fit when people point out the violence of the oppressor.
No, just trying to highlight the double standard when it comes to how law enforcement are treated compared to everyone else.
I also wouldn't classify destroying the car of a government organization as violence. It's destruction, but fairly mild compared to burning people's homes to the ground. And even then, I wouldn't think to compare property damage to actual violence, like murder.
That you can't estimate how current processors will match your expectations based on how 42 years ago processor matched expectations of people living at the time.
If 42 years ago Intel sold a processor that burned my house down, I might not be the biggest fan of Intel even 42 years later. This isn't about expectations, it's about reputation. Not everyone has a goldfish memory.
Because I am, and I did not ask for this. Find me one Slav who requested this.
And yet, you thinking about the word association is all it took to imagine you you're helping someone with that. Because, hypothetically, there might be someone who is offended. For some reason.
Who thought about renaming master? As far as I know, a white person. Somehow, all these fuckups are started by white people in the US on behalf of minorities. I can imagine how it went:
"master branch... hmm, where does this naming convention come from anyway? Maybe master/slave? Hm, slavery is bad. That means the term master here might possibly offend someone. Welp, let's change it then! Oh, and it'd also excuse my job role of Dev Relations. I'm definitively useful!"
Or an academic in very-soft sciences instead of Dev Relations. I just saw some Dev Relations people on Twitter being very srs about this crap.
Meanwhile, all the software is broken. Feeling like it's held together by duct tape. Consuming more and more resources as time goes on, while functionality decreases.
All of this is excused by talking about programmer time. "Programmer time is more valuable".
Yeah, so valuable we'll be wasting time on this crap. And some things will break, maybe. Some will be fixed, some not. Some manual/help resources will be left in their original, horribly racist form. Some will be rewritten.
Oh, and there's the little cost of making politics just a tiny bit more toxic.
Anyway: when I learned the term for my ethnicity is basically the same word as slave, I thought "Hmm, that's interesting/cool fact" I'm pretty sure all the people react this way if at all.
I don't believe Blacks in the US are as unreasonable as you all paint them. I think you're all pretty damn racist for implying otherwise.
Why do majority of people here hearing slave thinks about black people? "Slave" comes from Latin where it initially meant a Slavic person. Northern African slave traders, Turkish jasyr slaves, slavery of eastern European women (Slavic and Jewish) sold to brothels in South America are also all but forgotten. Racism is disgusting in any form but limiting slavery to only America is also racist.
