> it seems the State Department is searching for direction I would argue that it seems more like the State Department is searching for distraction moreso than direction. From the murders, theft, and the epstien files.
which murders? are we talking about ICE or Venezuela or something else?

> For aesthetic or other preferences you change the default font to whatever you please. Ever tried changing the font of a printed document? Or a PDF?
Printed document isn't what I was on about. There the default should 100% be about accessibility (and then we just want that by default cause we're used to it). PDF -> Nope. .doc(x) -> Sure. Website, OS, apps (including terminal) -> Sure. Now regarding PDF I might've tried a long time ago when reading some old document (like CIA about MKULTRA). I don't remember if I succeeded. But there are PDF editors out there. I d…
And I can certainly confirm that changing the font of PDF will almost always result in a unreadable mess. Something about how a PDF doesn't have text "blocks" and instead fixes each character making text reflow almost impossible.
Our studio, LucasFonts, designed Calibri. Here are our CEO Luc(as) de Groot’s thoughts on the matter: The decision to abandon Calibri on the grounds of it being a so-called “wasteful diversity font” is both amusing and regrettable. Calibri was specifically designed to enhance readability on modern computer screens and was selected by Microsoft in 2007 to replace Times New Roman as the default font in the Office suite…
I think we all can agree that Comic Sans MS reflects the current US government best, both spiritually and aesthetically.

I prefer cruelty signaling, because there is profound difference between the impact of the two on the world. Insisting on naming things so that "bad thing" and "good thing" are undistinguishable is not neutral, it is biased and favors bad actors.
Sure, but that's immaterial to this context, which seeks an apolitical term for "says things they don't believe to curry favour".
The trouble is, if the things are called as what they are, you cant say "both sides are the same". Because one side is promoting cruelty and the other is not.
> says things they don't believe to curry favour
If you do not believe that trans people should be beating up, but say so to look manly to your boss, you still promoted beating of trans.

I cross my sevens! I'll consider starting to slash my zeros. Seems legit.
Øh, that isn't ideal for Danes, Norwegians or people who regularly deal with empty sets.

True though the confusion about that is largely when you're not dealing with words like passwords or hashes. In the context of words it's going to be generally disambiguated by context, I can't think of an example off hand in writing where I and l will that ambiguous. The removal of serifs probably has a higher impact to more people unless I'm missing some common situation where they'd be easy to confuse in context.
On the Web I see very frequently foreign names, user handles or URLs where I am confused about whether there is an I or an l, because that Web page has chosen to use a bad sans serif font that does not differentiate these letters. Sometimes there is no problem because the words or links containing ambiguous letters can be copied and pasted. Other times there is an annoying problem because either the stupid designer h…

When did Germany impeach Hitler?
Also, Donald Trump has already been impeached as many times all other Presidents combined.

As an aside, I didn't know what Comic Sans looks like, so I searched on Google and it rendered the whole page in that font. I tried with other Fonts too like Arial and Times New Roman, and it did the same there. So cool!
