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

    Not just that, it’s bad and makes no sense in its technical context.

    Server client is far better.

      No, that’s completely dependent on what you are referring too. I have never heard anyone ever referring to a server as “master” or a client as a “slave”. The slave/master terminology is often used for storage. I.E. Master drive and slave drive.

        Nowadays its more ofte used for server hierarchies/functionality. Or well, a lot of software is changing now. Mariadb use Source and replica.
