The emperor is not wearing any clothes. It's obvious if you see measures like web pages getting deleted because they contain the word "privilege". You know, as in "privilege escalation". I'm sure the people at NSA who wrote these pages are happy about their work being in vain.

were you equally opposed to leftwings deleting concepts such as "git master" and "quantum supremacy"?

  One person blogged about `git master` and many people agreed that it may be needlessly antiquated. So private companies chose to take a few hours to change a dumb default string under no external pressure and certainly not under duress of government action. The fact you conflate these two demonstrates either a clear lack of earnestness or common sense. Take your pick.

    Not really, I've been opposing sexism, racism, political correctness, science denial (yes, burn it all down!) and supporting meritocracy and freedom of speech since early 2010s, way before it became big in the media.

      And when did you abandoned it? Fact is, it was never about freedom, it was using the word freedom to help fascist agenda.

      Well you are doing a poor job of conveying it if your two biggest pain points are "git master" and "quantum supremacy". God help us this is the way all of these conversations have gone over the last 8 years. Group A: "You are gutting our scientific research infrastructure, a entity that has provided tremendous benefit to scientific progress worldwide and has been a source of national pride!" Group B: "Yea well some tech companies voluntarily changed the name of their git branch from 'master' to 'main' so you all had it coming." There's nothing I can do with that, except hunker down and hope all the horrors of this are felt by someone else.

  Were there directives from the Biden administration to defund all CS research done by people who used "main" instead of "master" as a branch name?
