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

Revert a 4 year old commit without dealing with conflict hell? I sure wish them luck

They should just revert every single change since this commit. That will role back all 4 years of Trump's enshitification.

Yes, there's no such thing. Just as there's no such thing as perfect compensation.

Also by neutral structure I mean what they are pretending to be making now, and by compensatory what's supposed to have existed before. I hope that hasn't eluded you.

This made me laugh, it has Wile E. Coyote vibes to it as a solution

[petter1@lemm.ee]

Blocklist is way better than blacklist anyway

[jaemo@sh.itjust.works]

Apologists who sit down at the same table as the Nazis are equivocal to the pre-seated Nazis. Zero sympathy.

Purge and lance the boil.

[hubertmanne@moist.catsweat.com]

Smartest thing would be to just adjust the output so that its easily reverted.

[bosht@lemmy.world]

This is literally what I've been doing, but there are people that are just overwriting shit.

[pressanykeynow@lemmy.world]

Will they return the master-slave terminology? It's actually funny how the Newspeak wheel is turning.

[pressanykeynow@lemmy.world]

I like boss/controller–worker the most.

Meh, might need to change it in the future if the commie government comes to power.

[bosht@lemmy.world]

Literally flushing money down the drain to feed ego. It's honestly pathetic and disgusting.

[keenflame@feddit.nu]

What the fuck did I just read? This sounds actually a lot like raw unapologetic hate of people that don't fit [blank] from society. It's utterly insane. It will hurt you eventually, you know that right?

[greenfish@lemmy.world]

I'm a contractor for uscis. We were ordered to change all instances of the word 'immigrant' to 'alien'. We said ok and shrugged because our systems actually use the word 'person'. They didn't say anything about that and we didn't ask

[rottingleaf@lemmy.world]

I don't think I'm taking side in that text.

I do think you shouldn't make opinions of text you didn't understand.

[sturgist@lemmy.ca]

Nuh uhn! It's streamlining the woke removal with maximum efficiency^TM^

[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.

[amon@lemmy.world]

#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.
