Adobe acrobat is THE PDF editor. PDF is a proprietary format created and developed by Adobe. Any software that can edit PDFs is doing so in a format they do not have any control over. And there just aren't any proper PDF editors that are feature complete. now if you're an individual who needs to make a PDF in the privacy of your own home, by all means, use a cheap or free or FOSS application to do so. But if you need that PDF to be readable and useable and seamlessly compatible on other computers for other users for ever? Better pay the Adobe tax because there is a good chance, it won't look the way you expect it to when someone opens it up in Adobe which their company definitely has.

I might agree with you if I hadn't heard ten thousand bad takes over the years about how digital art isn't art or how photographs aren't art or how video games aren't art. If their take was that printing pre-made files isn't art, then they should have said that.

Digital art is still art and effort and talent. You also need to have some technical expertise to know how to use as well as tune and maintain a 3D printer. 3d modeling is not a "snap your fingers and it's there" kind of thing.

Did we read the same article? The article was pretty open to the idea especially in the demonstrated environments. I also read nothing about AI...

Revolt isn't new. Matrix and revolt are around the same age and are both not even feature competitive with Discord. So until there is a fully featured truly open alternative to discord, there will be still others trying to take discord's audience.

That's the risk you take with an outdoor brat. It's not even like water is harmful to it.

I used to have an outdoor brat and if that happened I would have shrugged it off and expected him not to go there again.

Up like a rocket; down like a feather.

I would agree if he wasn't publicly voting Republican at that point, which he was. By midterms 2022 he had publicly stated that the Democrats were the party of hate and division and that everyone should vote Republican. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_activities_of_Elon_Musk

Not always. People often wish to transfer plates to their new car so they don't have to memorize a new one.
