PSA: we've got a couple projects switching from I²C "master/slave" to "initiator/target" already, so if you're looking for more accurate and descriptive nomenclature, consider these :) https://github.com/fwupd/fwupd/pull/2244 … https://github.com/GlasgowEmbedded/glasgow/commit/5a53dc1649a238cbf6d2f21ba599635579387f89 …

(Reminder that regardless of what you think about cultural sensitivities, these are just *better terms* that much more accurately describe the device roles, and even the I²C defines the term master as the "initiatiating" device)

@ohsummit, since you're pushing for new definitions for SPI. what do you think about this for I²C? In this case the pin names don't need changing, only device role terminology.2 replies 0 retweets 4 likesShow this thread -
I'm still trying to find a good replacement for "disk mastering" as used in relationship of creating a master ISO image. I used disk imaging in a recent video but that's not exactly a great replacement since imaging a disk and mastering it are different in my mind.

Replying to @FOSSfirefighter @ohsummit
I'm not sure if that usage is problematic, to be honest. I asked about this recently (and similar cases, like audio mastering) and didn't really get pushback. The word "slave" is a direct reference to slavery, but the word "master" when not juxtaposed with "slave" isn't AFAICS.

I'm open to opinions opposing that usage (especially from Black folks), I just don't really have any at the moment, so I'm waiting and seeing rather than trying to push for alternatives for all usages of that word.
