Not the main point, but this is the first time I've seen "allowlisted". Lol

...are they trying to avoid saying whitelisted because of the word "white"?

[-] OneDimensionPrinter@lemm.ee 43 points 1 year ago

Yeah, at my company we switched to allow/block listed last year. Whitelisted and blacklisted are verboten

[-] static@midwest.social 33 points 1 year ago

The best reasoning I saw for this change was for clarity for non native English speakers. If you're learning the language "allowlist" is definitely more clear in meaning than "whitelist"

Not really, at least in Spanish we’ve always said “listas blancas/listas negras”.

[-] 3laws@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I don't know what you are talking about.

Even if our dialects (Mexican) didn't have vestigial racism and fake dichotomies, permitir y bloquear is as straight forward as you can get.

IT switched from white/black literally years ago, if your department didn't, you are quite stuck in time.

Sure... But unless you know what either of those terms means, it's just gibberish like ping.

[-] OneDimensionPrinter@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Glad fizzbuzz doesn't fit into the gibberish category
