These developers have had to drop whatever projects they were working on to go back to previous code and spend time finding all of this, just to keep their jobs. Then they have to redeploy new versions everywhere, which also carries a significant cost. Really frustrating.

Here is a way to monitor these changes in real-time: https://play.clickhouse.com/play?user=play#U0VMRUNUIGNyZWF0Z...

The SQL query:

    SELECT created_at, 'https://github.com/'||repo_name||'/issues/'||number AS url, event_type, actor_login, repo_name, title FROM github_events WHERE match(title, '\\bDEI\\b') ORDER BY created_at DESC

A concurrent parallel in the private sphere: I see today that all the pride/heritage weeks or months have disappeared from my Google Calendar.

Digging into Settings (on desktop web) reveals options to turn on "Regional" and "Global religious" holidays e.g. "Start of Ramadan" -- but apparently no way whatever to recover the disappeared -- not even via menu button "Browse calendars of interest".

How it was done when GitHub didn't exist yet - my uncle's story about his time in the school in USSR : Children, open the history book at page 54, you see the photo titled "Soviet Marshal, Hero of Revolution ...". Now take the ink bottle and pour the ink over that photo as he is an enemy of the people.

Seems like it's just a PR for removing it from the government website?

Also, looks like they're adding a deletedAt field and soft deleting items in the database rather than hard delete.
