A project called “Remove-DEI” shows the tweaks used to remove “forbidden words” from a database about childhood school readiness.
The updates, shown in Github commits, are to a database for the Department of Health and Human Services’ Head Start program. They show a project called “Remove-DEI,” which reveal some of the back-and-forth that is happening behind the scenes to align federal agencies with Donald Trump’s executive orders that forbid almost anything having to do with race or gender within federal agencies. The Github pages show software engineers discussing amongst themselves how to best remove all instances of “forbidden words” from a specific database, and the code updates they used to do it. The changes also show that, while thousands of government datasets are disappearing from the internet, even ones that remain are having parts of their utility deprecated or broken in a way that may not be visible to those outside the government.
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.
