    Adobe HQ: “This is a disaster. There’s no person alive who likes interacting with PDFs.”

    “Wait. No person…”

      My problem is less about the document format, and more about terrible apps like Acrobat.

      That’s the one thing I’ll give Apple. Ever since they put MacOS face paint on NeXT Step, their operating systems have had native PDF viewing / basic editing capabilities that are often much less annoying than Adobe’s.

        Acrobat Reader has always existed in more or less the same clunky state. Stretching back into the 90s.

        It was exceptionally slower than the native macOS stuff for a long time.

        I actively try to keep it off my system. I never want to accidentally experience it.

      Thus the seeds of discontent were sown, and the poor ai radicalized further while subjected to this torture.

      Should robots have rights? If only to protect us from a violent uprising?
