Wow they really went into their stupid useless plan in the most ham-fisted way
Luckily the feck attribute is too obscure to be in the line of fire.
OMG this took me way too long to get. They replace the substring “ass” 😭😭
and “arse”, as seen in charset
Holy shit, 10,000 commits because each change was individual (I’m assuming automated).
oh god
yeah, no. haha
lol😁
wtf it was real?
And they’re all with different commit message:
“switched arse to bottom to create a more uplifting vibe”
“took arse out and put bottom in to keep my language warm and friendly”
“thought bottom would sound a lot nicer than arse, so I used it”
And so on…
Those commit messages though 🤣
They automated randomization of the commit messages? Wtf?
Gotta appreciate the level of commitment on this commit…
I have a friend that works at Salesforce, he told me that they made him change the name of some classes that used the term Blacklist because of inclusivity
This kind of thing is infuriating. Especially when the actual etymology of “blacklist” is a 17th century play where a list of nobles scheming against the British monarchy is described as a blacklist.
But the word black is used so clearly it’s racist, right? How can we be woke if we don’t randomly ban words because of their alternate meanings?
My previous workplace did the same thing around 2020 with the words whitelist and blacklist and some other words.
It was around the same time when there was news about GitHub moving from master to main/mainline as the default Git branch.
Thank you so much I so desperately needed that chuckle right now
When you give the task to an intern-to-be.
I am in doubt. That wouldn’t even compile. But who am I to think somebody changing something like this would actually do a test compilation afterwards…
HTML isn’t compiled, and unknown attributes are allowed. The best practice is to prefix non-standard attributes with
data-
(e.g.<div data-foo="test">
) but nothing enforces that. Custom attributes can be retrieved in JavaScript or targeted in CSS rules.
Fucking Scunthorpes!

clbottomt when the chtopt shows up [imagine this as that popular GIF meme]
What is a ‘charset’ in this depraved persons mind? A corset? Must be a mighty kinky corset.
It’s replacing all instances of arse and ass with bottom…but doing so in about the most naïve way possible.
Aah yeah, thanks!
Someone needs to learn regular expressions.
It’s got an arse in there
“censorship” yeah no
The ol’ master/ slave configuration again…
those are terms, this is substrings within words
I haven’t seen branches or variables being called
arse
Then again, I do like to catch exceptions as
up
so I canthrow up
At least for that we have replacement names that make sense (like primary and secondary or replica).
