A compose file is meant for different components of a single service but you're allowed to experiment with whatever you want

 

I've been conflicted about this. For example beehaw has a larger technology community but I'm a fan of lemmy.world so I try to post interesting content there to help the site.

Even young people who aren't techies are clueless about more advanced stuff. The theory that old people don't understand technology because they didn't grow up with it is wrong

 

The conditions you can use liquid mode on Adobe reader are really limited. I'm looking for something similar but useable on a wider selection of documents
