I'm a young-ish Gen-Xer and found the same last year when I asked my doc for titer tests on a hunch. I wanted to make sure I could get fully vaccinated before RFK Jr. screwed things up too much.

That makes it sound like the software is about to go off on a rant about how the Confederacy just wanted states rights and freedom, and slavery wasn't that bad compared to what the Irish suffered.

I'm old enough to remember this behavior dating back to at least CDE on traditional Unix systems like Solaris in the mid-90s, if not earlier. It was a great feature then.

BUT...

That was back when mice looked like this! They had a literal middle mouse button. This design predated the scroll wheel, which was added much later, and merged in as an extremely awkward and unreliable middle mouse button in some cases. The old behaviors make no sense anymore, at least not as default behaviors for most users with modern mice.

I hope there's a first amendment lawsuit raised over this. Demanding citizens carry and present the image of a partisan political figure in return for government service seems like compelled speech to me.
