‘Forbidden Words’: Github Reveals How Software Engineers Are Purging Federal Databases

[lightnsfw@reddthat.com]

No they've already figured that out and I'm certainly not rich.

[jenesaisquoi@feddit.org]

It's called an euphemism treadmill

[cantstopthesignal@sh.itjust.works]

What would happen if someone began adding banned words to important parts of a database?

[keenflame@feddit.nu]

You are taking side in that text. I fully understand it, it's not as elegant and complex as you think. It's just evil.

#000000?

[rottingleaf@lemmy.world]

Well, impossible to argue with such a claim, but if you really want for it to be something worth your own time, you can explain what side, in your opinion, I'm taking, when saying that there are two approaches at making a state structure support equality (something almost every ideology, even fascist, in some sense wants, they differ in the core criterion before which people must be equal), and while Musk&Trump&rest are claiming to be transitioning from one to another, they have no intention to finish it, so they are just breaking things.

Damn right it's neither elegant nor complex, it's actually so long because it's clumsy.

Imo the main branch should be called the trunk.

or parent and child.

No, that's supportive of child-porn! ~/s~

You what the master terminology comes from? Master and slave.

You know who cares and makes a fuss about it? White 'murican virtue-signaling programmers.

No one else cares or gives it any other connotation. Oh no! The slave branch is being oppressed! Let's free the slave branch! is something no one ever said (except maybe the Monty Pythons).

The difference is that racism is still quite trendy in the US (suspected to make a fabulous come-back now that they reelected Mango Mussolini and his fascist side-kick); in Rest of the World not as much although right-wing fucks are also on the rise.
And the US was probably last abolishing slavery (but i could be wrong on that one).

Is not about freeing the “slave branch” you numb skull it’s just about using more appropriate terminology in every day life and in the work force. I don’t want to talk to my boss about the slave device and master devices if I’m working on USB shit. No fucking reason to keep it the same other than to appease whiny ass conservative bigots who have nothing better to do then bitch about the world trying to better itself.
