isn't 'ping' an Asian slur?
No, ping is utility built into Operating Systems to check if a networked device is responding to requests. Also morphed into "hit me up" "call me" "shoot me an email" ad infinum. Ping is also a term used in sonar that refers to the signal sent out to find targets.
EDIT: I just realized you may have been joking so please ignore this mansplaining bit if it is so.
LOL
Edit, correct!
Oh, the cool lady who had me at warped cotton on the gin... hat tip to you again. I found your story a delightful read, maybe you should put all that experience into a book or small story of sorts?
:) I got a million of 'em!
Would you believe before I hit NC I was in NYC at The Limelight, partying with John Taylor from Duran Duran and saw Andy Warhol?
I've lived a bit!!
Wow, the Limelight. Haven’t heard that in a while. So many stories...
Now, if I could only remember them.
Good job neckbeard. ;-)
Yah, my desire to over-achieve always lands me in tryhard land. My lack of desire to let some shithead touch the back of my neck gets me muh beard, though it is on the wrong side of the head I'm afraid.
c'est la vie.
Love our autistic pedes!!!
OP, you really should reply "I believe the term 'ping' is derogatory to those of Asian decent" and see what the inclusiveness director says about that.
The astronauts love it!
Wait until they hear about linux
date; unzip; strip; touch; finger; tail; grep; head; mount; push; fsck; more; yes; bind; fsck; fsck; umount; sleep
Did you just call me a Grub you BIGOT!!!!
THE MASTER BOOT RECORD, NO.
And that's how you make linux for "racists" and only those who use Windows and Apple are approved users.
I'm surprised they didn't give "slave" as example :)
"We would only be changing the comments so, not that much work"
Many of us "IT dudes" already went with block and allow list because trying to explain white and black to management just got really fucking stupid. I haven't had a master/slave HDD setup in any production environment I've worked in (RAID 1+0 since like fucking 2000 when I started my career). This is just more dumb shit that'll show that any HR corporate dumbass is just doing what HR does best. Avoid Lawsuits.
Instead of "disagree" use "fuck off"
Every day I make a tweet with all of twitters wrong speak keywords. It makes me happy.
It's a word. It's not the word itself, it's how people use it. Stop listening to these retards. Oh I used the word retarded one time and an EX GF said to not use it. Um you're not going to tell me what I can and cannot say.
My son's girlfriend, in my own house, told me not to use that word. I literally yelled "Okay, retard!" and she left. The problem fixed itself.
I said ‘stop being a retard’ to my preteen and friend when they were acting dumb. They were absolutely gobsmacked. You can’t say that! Yep. I can, and stop being retarded. There is nothing wrong with the proper usage of advance and retard.
Likewise, one can be a master of their art without abusing it. It implies control, not hate or race.
Like you said, Words also have multiple meanings. Words also change meanings over time. Like the word nice used to mean idiot. I find liberals to be very nice.
If they complain about master/slave call it kink shaming.
You're surprised?
Go literally removed it from the language.

Github got rid of the master branch.

Go look at Airbnb's stance on all this too.
The software industry is the single worst industry for SJW.
HR cucks.
I hate when people put "regards" in their corporate emails.
That's retarded.
What a bunch of main-baiters
To say the word master is racist, implies only white people had slaves.
This is ridiculous on many levels.
Yup, change what you call it, and then play hell trying to find it, later.
Stupid, stupid, stupid.
