Shiny blue tsunami 2026 midterm (idol in Indy’s arm). Followed by election in 2028 (boulder, much bigger than the idol) of a Democratic Party president = memories of 2008 Obama election.

What I meant to point out was that the first midterm after Obama’s election, was 2010 where Republicans gained 63 seats in the house, pointing out that the majority of Americans will probably vote for the party opposite of the president, and eventually again vote for someone like Trump as president, and then re-elect him. The States is like a union of Saudi Arabia (racists whites) and Sweden (educated non-psychopaths). The fact that the majority re-elected Bush and Trump, may indicate that a two-state solution may be best.

In Obama’s 1st midterm elections in 2010, the Democrats lost control of the House when the Republicans won a net gain of 63 house seats, a net gain of 6 gubernatorial seats, and flipped control of 20 state legislative chambers allowing “redistricting”.

They look identical but are entirely different.

They "a"s don’t look identical at all with a good font like Atkinson Hyperlegible Next, which also very clearly differentiates between

• 0 and O
• I and l

Trump Warns That if Kamala Harris Wins, ‘Everybody Gets Health Care’

who thin[k] republicans are decent people

Someone can be an omnicidal bigot, and still be nice to dogs and old ladies. They can even sometimes be nice to people who don’t look, sound, or think like they do.

Republicans probably define “decent” as “opposing communism, non-whites, atheism, and Islam”.
Democrats probable define “decent” as “not being a bigot”.
Greens probably define “decent” as “opposing omnicide, factory farming, genocide, authoritarianism, and capitalism”.

You’re right to feel this way. This is absolutely correct.

The intelligent American choice is between

• omnicidal biosphere destruction, with a side order of genocide; or
• omnicidal biosphere destruction, with a side order of genocide and bigotry.

These are the only two options available, because no-one has ever made ethical choices, anywhere, in all of human history. It’s impossible. Instead choose one of these so you have a better chance of being on the winning evil team.

micro battles like KDE vs Gnome

I don’t think that’s a small thing for someone new to Linux.

I prefer Xfce over MATE, KDE, and Cinnamon because I use old computers. I wouldn’t recommend modern GNOME.

One of those ticks is “genocide” (millions of people).

Another is “corporations enslaving 1-3 trillions animals in torturous conditions their entire lives”.

Another is “corporations torturing 2-6 trillion animals to death every year”.

Another is “omnicidal climate change” (billions of people and many trillions of other animals).

The 2 sides are not the same, but certain existential and unethical issues actively supported by both sides mean that some people don’t want to vote for either of the evil sides who crossed clearly psychotic lines, and prefer to instead vote for decent Green people like Nader.

Re: Enrico Weigelt (metux) mentioned as 1 of the 3 at https://forum.artixlinux.org/index.php/topic,10283.msg61637.html#msg61637, see also anti-vax and “allied rejected all the numerous peace offerings from the German side”.

The PennLive link is more than a week old, while the 3 links I gave are from yesterday, which quotes County coroner Stephen Diamantoni giving the update.

The YouTube link doesn’t work for me - cookies and cross-site scripting required? What’s the date of the recording?

While the spleen death of the boy was “with” measles, the “the case of this girl is being attributed directly to measles.” (see my 3 links given in the post your responded to).

Do you have a source for that?

According to https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2026/09/04/infant-died-measles-pennsylvania-coroner-confirms/ “A local coroner has said that an infant from the Amish community in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, has died of measles.” September 4, 2026

According to https://local21news.com/news/local/lancaster-county-coroner-confirms-baby-died-from-measles-vaccinations-health-politics-pennsylvania-pa-death-amish-genetic-condition-measles-associated-deaths-coroner-investigation “In this case, coroner Stephen Diamantoni said the child died from measles, not with. He clarified that measles was the cause of death in this case, however it was not considered the cause of death in the case where an infant boy died with measles.” September 4, 2026

According to https://amishamerica.com/coroner-confirms-amish-girl-died-measles-first-us-death-2026/ “Lancaster County Coroner Dr. Stephen […] Diamantoni confirmed that measles was in fact the cause of death. As he put it to CBS 21, the child died from measles, not “with” it. […] While the death of the boy discussed in the Atlantic story was, according to Diamantoni, due to a ruptured spleen and not directly caused by measles, the case of this girl is being attributed directly to measles. […] the death has been confirmed as caused by measles at the county level. The state level is still calling it “associated,” while at the federal level, the CDC is not confirming it as caused by measles. […] That may simply reflect a delay in confirmation or other things clouding the picture.” September 4, 2026

That’s very Linus of them:

The mass-extinction causing orphan-crushing torment nexus is a tool, just like other tools we use. And it’s clearly a useful one.

There are other questions around it, like if we should be complicit in killing billions of people, and making more than 50% of genera go extinct, via its CO2e releases and water use, but “is it useful” is no longer one of those questions.

The Debian project has been and will continue to be about the technology.

Sure, the people who use it is important and often a very motivating part of the project, but in the end that’s a side benefit, not the point of the project.

In the Debian community we do open source because it results in better technology, not because of ethical reasons.

And so we make decisions primarily based on technical merit. Not fear of causing a mass extinction.

Atkinson Hyperlegible Mono has a zero with a reverse/Burroughs slash so it doesn’t look like a capital “o” or a Nordic letter Scandinavian Ø. It also tries to clearly differentiate other similar glyphs like lowercase “L” and a capital “i”, “8” and the capital “b”, etc…

It’s proportional sans-serif version Atkinson Hyperlegible Next unfortunately uses proportional numbers instead of tabular ones like most good sans-serifs.
