A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment

We grew up in an analog childhood, but digital adulthood.
We've been at the cusp of all the changes, we probably had to boot into Ms DOS and navigate to the A:// drive to play whatever was on the floppy disk with a whopping 1.44mb.
Now you download almost instantly to your phone/tablet. The internet as we knew it is mostly dead, everywhere is a walled garden of shit.
As a boomer, reading this thread/discussion has been so amusing in many ways while enjoying my cuppa tea this morning. A classic "the younger generations are stupid."
The older generations looking down the ones that follow. And the following generations looking down on those that precede them. And no one understanding ain't none of us are all that bright.
Ever has it been, and so ever shall it be.
Is there some magic to rotating a PDF? I just opened one and there's a button in Firefox saying "Rotate clockwise" and "Rotate anticlockwise". Are we talking something rotating and then saving the PDF so it stays rotated or just rotating it after it's already loaded? Or is this about rotating the PDF so it can be printed out?
I went from learning to touch type at a bajillion wpm by playing World of Warcraft, to only using my desktop to filing taxes, and desktop UI is now sometimes overwhelming. PDF viewers and image editors, holy shit, where should I begin in my hunt to do some minor tweak? Looks like a Boeing 787 flight deck in comparison to a phone's UI, menus and buttons all over the place. I'm not bad to the point that I click random buttons and turn it into a mess, but I can see how someone would just stumble around
I would be happy to never see a PDF again, can we not have something better?
I always think it's like complaining that nobody under a certain age can use the card catalog, microfiche or whatever. Technology changes. I have so many leftover now useless skills; please God may the ones related to Adobe rot on that same pile soon.
The smartphone and it's consequences to the human society...
