It sounds way less offensive to those who decry the original terminology’s problematic roots but still keeps its meaning intact.
We’re already using that on the org chart.

Primary/secondary?
That doesn’t make sense depending on the context. New I2C standard switched to controller/target for example. This conveys that one device is controlling the other devices.
i saw main/clone for storage once
My suggestion doesn’t make sense in the classic PATA sense either, since there were potentially several “slave” devices, but they weren’t slaves so much as dependent on the “master.”
Parent/child(ren)(s)
I have my primary, and my secondary, and my secondary secondary.
Leader/follower works though.
We’ve been using Master/Bater down at the church.
Big spoon/Little spoon
Both spoons are the same size. Different size ones wouldn’t fit together like that.
Dom drive: “Daddy”
Sub drive: “UwU”

OwO and UwU drives. That’s perfect.
I’ve seen “Domain Controller” and “Subscriber” for the sake of plausible deniability.
In the case of SPI, they want to keep intact the names MISO (master in, slave out) and MOSI. So they use things like “Main” and “Sub”.
What’s wrong with primary/secondary or main/alternate!?
Primary and secondary are usually peers, where the secondary takes over when the primary isn’t functioning. Which isn’t the same relationship, as the master/slave terminology indicates that if the master fails, the slave will also fail.
Parent/child is probably a better way to describe this kind of relationship.

Not quite as child presumes a ultimate reliance on a parent.
In master/slave (harddrive configurations) you can promote EITHER drive to master and use the other as slave. It doesn’t matter which is master. Just that they both configured correctly in regards to the other.
Parent/Child doesn’t really accommodate for that quirk.
Or just use the existing terms. People will find issues with just abuut anything.
Yeah this will just piss off the anti-porn/right-wing/tradcath(?) types instead of leftist/neolib/anti-racist types.
Leaving aside the problematic nature of the existing terms, the result was that people actually thought a little more about the relationships the things had and started using better/more precise terminology for the relationships: primary/secondary, active/hot/cold, parent/child, etc.
Net positive all round.
Woah there. You’re using about 25% more of your brain than the rest of the internet. We’re gonna need you to tone that reasonability down a bit.

This exactly. M/S ment nothing to me messing with HDDs as a kid.
It arguably only makes sense in a control node/ worker node context, but worker is ob
