BaaS definition
BaaS means the Netrix Subscription Service offering referred to as “Backup-as-a-Service” (or similar term) as more specifically set forth in an applicable SOW.
BaaS means “boss”, but implies an important element of white supremacy—a more accurate translation might be “master”, rather than “boss”. According to the Chamber of Mines’ English-Afrikaans-Fanakalo dictionary, “baas” is translated as “bas” in Fanakalo. The Fanakalo “bas boy” is translated to “baasjong” or “voorjong” in Afrikaans. The Afrikaans translation for “supervisor” would be “voorman”—which is already a gendered translation. But Africans are not considered to be “men” here—the word “jong” is used instead, which literally means “young”. This is similar to the colonial use of “boy” in English. In the same dictionary, the different versions for what later became a “machine operator” are “machine boy” (English), “boorjong” (Afrikaans) and “mtshin boy” (Fanakalo). The translation for “miner” (in English “ganger” is presented as a synonym) is simply “bas”. A “fitter” (“passer” in Afrikaans), is translated as “bas ka lo fitas”, a “shaft timberman” is a “bas ka lo tshaf ”. Here we can see how certain jobs implied a certain racial category. A “miner” can only be a “baas”. In fact, the two concepts were synonymous. See Chamber of Mines of South Africa (1969).
