iiiiiiitttttttttttt

Eh PDFs are just annoying to deal with. I could do this stuff the adobe acrobat when I had the paid version in school but I'm cheap and no longer have it. If I'm feeling desperate I'll find the ghostscript command that does it otherwise I just do something horrible (for example scanning to jpeg rather than PDF creating an HTML page with both images and printing that to PDF)

From writing a limited amount of code to generate PDFs from scratch the standard is just cursed. It was using 7 bit ASCII until fairly recently resulting in an eighth of the document being wasted space. Also when they switched to PDFs being an open standard the specs went from something freely available on adobe's web site to a challege of how to send 98 swiss francs to ISO to get access.

Well yeah I didn't learn at all about computers even in high school, when students did use a computer it was a cheap Chromebook. I bearly grew up with computers and thats the same for most people, the difference is I have autism so I hyprfocus on computers :3

Never judge a fish by how well it climbs a tree.

The most satisfying joke in Questionable Content is one when robot asks another, 'the hell is a PDF?'

I just copied from my phone and pasted to my steam deck. I still got it.

I've trained a lot of 18-22 y/os in the last 10 years and they are fine. Let's not become the boomers please...

Just helped build my 12 year old cousin his first computer and was forced into putting Windows on it. Now, I get that it's important that he at least understand what the "normal OS" is, but I did want to put at least Mint or something on there. Zoomers and Alpha really don't know how to navigate even the basics, though, and this kid was no exception.

Well, technically I wanted to put something based on Arch but even I know that's a bad idea for a sink or swim computer moment.

The only reason we have to rotate the PDFs is because they can't figure out how to use the sheet-feed scanner. Theres a picture embossed in the thing! And a sign that we put next to the button!

I have never rotated a PDF

And I can't actually imagine why you'd need to?

But I can imagine it's pretty simple, like "print" then "print to pdf" and landscape? Or something?

it depends on the person. some zoomers are great with tech, hardware and software. others aren't. same goes for every generation. this reeks of the "haha let's shit on the younger generations" millennials have been mad about for years
