Didn't read the bill cause pdf and cause it's a bill, but found another article describing it, and it says at the end:
Isn't that like 99% of the internet?
Why are you against Pdf files?
Edit: Though reading my question out loud I get it...
(Are we anti postscript document format now? Did I miss a haters meeting??)
"Now?"
PDF files have been widely hated for as long as they have existed. They're good for printing and not much else. Definitely not a user-friendly substitute for a text file or web page.
The are a requirement for distributing a document that has to look the same on every device. I don't love them and Adobe can go take a flying fuck but if I NEED to make sure that my boss doesn't alter a document it has to be a PDF.
PDF is an Open Standard, the problem is that every site tells you that you can only open it with a program from Adobe.
Just don't like opening on phone, my browser doesn't open, so it asks to download, then i end up with a bunch of random useless files there. Don't u skip search results that lead to pdfs?
Pdfs are like the best for reading. Consistent format on every device.
They just suck to create or edit.
They suck to edit but you can create them in most Free/Open/Libre software. It's my favorite way to distribute drawings so that they print the same on every machine.
I actively search for them, moonreader catalogs everything. Having about half a TB on the phone file system also helps, but to be fair, since 2016 I never have filled any phone file system in a meaningful way
Sounds like all online games too
