So this is 100 percent true, verifiable, by me. Just keep in mind this is the same admin that wanted to cut ‘frivolous spending’. Think for a minute the wasted development hours changing the font on every webpage on every portal that DoS uses. Seriously, it’s fucking stupid.
He wanted to make it Times Neo Nazi but was informed that didn’t exist
(please no one check or inform me if that’s actually a thing or even close to real)
The font was chosen in an effort to make documents easier to read for the vision impaired.
This is like removing the requirement of having curb ramps on new sidewalks because it makes it possible for people in wheelchairs to navigate
What a douche!!!
Should they use a new, “Cuban” font… do better!?!?! This guy is sucking the dicks so hard of the people who would deport him so hard if he WAS NOT GIVING MONEY AS AN ELECTED… HE IS A dumbass! And America need to wake the fuck up!
Why fight when he is legit coming from an immigrant family as well!!!???

This has got to be one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard.
They should ban toilet paper, it’s too woke.
TP is gay as fuck. Rubbing your own ass is sin. Didnt you know? On reddit there were a couple of posts about redneck guys not wiping their own shitty ass, as it is gay to touch anus or anus be touched. The brainrot is frightening, yet fascinating with this sample group of institutionalised uneducation, xenophobia, egoism and patriachal focused propaganda.
Anus be touched sounds like a country music song
I have never in my life tied a font to politics or morality.
Garamond does look somewhat Apple-ishly pretentious, and Lucida does evoke associations with Sun and some corporate spirit, and Arial\TNR\CN trio does feel like “Windows font classic” combination.
But banning a more readable font to show you have “decorum” … there’s a word “чмошник” in Russian, I’ve recently realized I’m that, and also a whole crowd of adults and peers around me 13 years ago. Actually there’s just one girl who wasn’t that, and one adult. Who got the shortest straws in that story.
That word means someone miserable and envious enough to look for confirmations and signs of coolness in all things they use and do.
I’ve also recently realized that I don’t like computer people, and of other professions dealing with calculation and materiel. They are glorified bookkeepers and managers. The reason tech workers dislike management so much is because the whole industry is much like machine-assisted management. Paradox of small differences.
Yeah, I know you lot like being perceived as magicians and the industry as having something to do with intelligence. Read de Saint-Exupery’s Citadel, there’s a passage on “a special book for generals”, and you will recognize that whole industry, from its lowly brick layers to its prophets.
“Unlike you woke snowflakes I use Times New Roman”
he should use Comic Sans.
It’s a good font. It doesn’t impose style, it’s easily readable. I’d use it if there were a version with 1) Cyrillic support, 2) monospace variant, 3) not too bold in standard weight.
- monospace variant
Apparently there is (free) Comic Mono, but I find it worse than (paid) Comic Code, the latter IMHO looking more like original Comic Sans.
…yes, I bought this stupid font and actually use it in Windows Terminal, PuTTY and VS Code.
i mean you can’t spell calibri without lib. where’s your god now, atheists?
At the same time it’s reminiscent of “caliber”, which one would expect to appeal to good Christians.
What a weird flex
Reminder that Donald J. Trump fucks children and there is proof of this that they are trying to distract us from in order to protect him and the rest of the kidfuckers.
STAY ON POINT.
This is one of the dumbest distractions I’ve ever witnessed. I suppose the purposely forcing an acknowledged shitty font that was pushed out for a reason is on brand for such a shitty administration.
That’s it. I’m going to ban cupboards in my house for being to DEI too!
Makes about as much sense to me as banning a “DEI font”
Let’s be reasonable about this! What more things are DEI? Let’s try to find something that is actually DEI to the core and ban it.
Something that makes it harder for the established upper dog to dominate. Something that gives the little player a better chance!
Yes I know it! Tarrifs! Tarrifs are DEI, now we got to ban tarrifs!!!
its a nice distraction of whats going in with the epstein files, and immigration.
The font was chosen in an effort to make documents easier to read for the vision impaired.
So It’s Republican policy that the government must not, even in the smallest way, make life any easier for disabled people? And the government must not do nothing and leave in place something that already makes life easier for them, but must actively intervene to make it harder? Of course it is, but what the fuck is wrong with these people that they dedicate their entire life to getting into government so they can punch down and hurt others? How have they not even accidentally stumbled into being better than the worst they can be?
Fascists always go after disabled people first because it’s harder for them to fight back and fascists are cowards.
Its the culling of the herd. They feel they know best what the make up of the country should be. Its the same thing as eugenics. It makes sense if you think helping the disabled is a waste of resources.
How do you develop this point of view? How did people become convinced the h man was right? People are susceptible to propaganda. I heard the comments on popular sites about Taylor Swift being pro right after her last album was 25% astroturf. Heard from Phil Defranco on yt, there was a study.
Go look at the shit on truth social. I’ve met people that only look at the conservative part of the web, like fox news junkies of the last 25 years. They’re radicalized by astroturf, then hide in these echo chambers. Most of the discourse is directed by people with vested interest in political outcomes.
People I was friendly with were trying to say Charlie Kirk would have been a good president when he died. He was such a kind and selfless Christian, they say. I cant find anything defendable in his media output, but once you’re radicalized, its just about hitting the talking points. “Woke ideology.” “Trans mind virus.” “Communists and Socialists.” “Empathy is bad for our coutry.” Once you believe you’re surrounded by enemies, its easy to be manipulated by fear.
Surely if you want to kill disabled people, it’s a good idea to start by making them feel shunned and their lives extremely difficult first, no?
That way, a lot of them die off, lose their power and voice in society, and are way easier to purge when the time comes!
You can’t build a Christiofascist Oligarchy without obliterating a few societal eggs, after all!
Were the Epstein files too legible?
Most of them are published as they were written, so they aren’t affected by the government’s preferred font.
just watch them start publishing in wingdings
