Apple, Microsoft, Sony…it’s cool to hate them but can we please direct some fucking ire to this absolute pinnacle of piece of shittery that’s always on the frontier of the shittiest business practices in all things IT?

How has this compamy escaped a class action lawsuit by the entire population of the world?

I had to switch to a different PDF reader because for the life of me I couldn't get the dumb little AI assistant to quit covering the corner.

Firefox has honestly been a better PDF reader than the inventors of the PDF for about a decade now.

Adobe PDF reader is the peak of bloatware and really shouldn't be installed anywhere anymore. Last I saw, it was like 400MB of software to read-only open a file type? Could be gigs if they have AI shit in it now too.
