badposting is a comm where you post badly
This is not a !the_dunk_tank@hexbear.net alternative. This is not a !memes@hexbear.net alternative. This is a place for you to post your bad posts.
Ever had a really shitty bit idea? Joke you want to take way past the point of where it was funny? Want to feel like a stand-up comedy guy who's been bombing a set for the past 30 minutes straight and at this point is just saying shit to see if people react to it? Really bad pun? A homemade cringe concoction? A cognitohazard that you have birthed into this world and have an urge to spread like chain mail?
Rules:
- Do not post good posts.
- Unauthorized goodposting is to be punished in the manner of commenting the phrase "GOOD post" followed by an emoji that has not yet been used in the thread
- Use an emoticon/kaomoji/rule-three-abiding ASCII art if the rations run out
- This is not a comm where you direct people to other people's bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
- This rule intentionally left blank.
- If you're struck for rule 3, skill issue, not allowed to complain about it.
Code of Conduct applies just as much here as it does everywhere else. Technically, CoC violations are bad posts. On the other hand: L + ratio + get ~~better~~ worse material bozo

PDF became non-proprietary in 2008
edit: The adobe readers are all abysmal dogshit tho, lmao. Lord have mercy you want to use it to open the PDF boarding file you use to scan the barcode to get to security, it'll ask you if you want to AI summarize the document, why don't you log in too, why don't you get more premium features. Brother, it's a boarding barcode, stfu.
Based on zero research or familiarity I'm going to confidentley declare adobe is full of shit and is maintaining undocumented behavior to stifle 3rd party pdf apps.
PDF is an ISO standard now. Adobe can do whatever they want with their own fucked up files. Every other reader and writer are about ISO compliance. So do the standard libraries for all the programing languages used to generate PDFs to being with, like for example, when you ask you bank for a statement and they e-mail you a PDF. The vast majority of PDFs are programmatically generated anyway.
It's true that Adobe products don't care about standards compliance, but that's a skill issue, you don't need to use Adobe products. I've been using Linux since I can remember and I work with PDFs a lot. I don't know what people want to be frank. At the end of the day the format that's "winning" is none of this stuff, it's Google Docs. People aren't using files to begin with.
