Fuck Adobe, not supporting Linux, and now not even supporting Firefox, the once most used browser? Whoever pirates their crappy software deserves a statue.

Go fuck yourself with that fellow kids corporate speak. That pisses me off so much, way more than it probably should.

Unfortunately they’re still a default app in the business world. Basically everyone at least uses Reader if only because it’s what people expect when they open a PDF.

Thankfully, there’s a huge variety of pdf readers (not so much for editors, unfortunately)

My favorite for Windows is Sumatra

Sumatra is really cool. That was my only PDF reader for a long time when I was using Windows.
