He was probably just caught up in the satanic panic against Pokémon in the 90s.
The situation was so serious that the Vatican had to “bless” the Pokémon 2000 movie in an attempt to tell evangelicals to chill.

I think this is being overly judgemental. He originally created his reputation by going to war against Pantone, a company which holds a near monopoly on colours. At first it was patches to get Adobe to use colours it locked users out of, which he then expanded into Freetone, a colour palette that is free for anyone except Adobe.
Looking at his other behaviour (such as legally changing his name to Amish Kapoor to piss off Anish Kapoor who sued him for colour infringement) suggests that he’s messy, rather than a grifter.

Tbh it’s probably less of an Adobe problem and more due to the absolute mess that is PDF annotations.
Despite being a defined open standard, most free PDF viewers either don’t support them (zathura etc), or fuck them up (GNOME evince). Even some of the viewers that do support them like Okular need extra configuration.
Unironically Firefox as a PDF viewer actually has the best support for PDF annotations.

- Comment on How do I "sabotage" my own online content to throw a wrench in AI training machines? 5 weeks ago:
If your online content is audio or video then you can replace the default subtitle track with nonsense. This is because AI scrapers generally only check the default subtitle track to understand audio or video.
The process would be more difficult with text or image content, but you can still apply the same principles.

- Comment on Is This Social Media? 1 month ago:
I don’t think the any interaction definition is too broad at all. Primitive forms of social media such as mailing lists and forum threads form are very similar in functionality to simply following hashtags, or I guess whatever the algorithms suggest.
The distinction using account based versus conversation/thread based is not too helpful, because the majority of users of modern social media don’t really use it to follow accounts, with the majority of their time is spent doomscrolling generic hashtags or algorithm recommendations.
The similarities are easier to see if you think of how people actually used these technologies in their daily lives. Pre Facebook, people would log in and refresh their Usenet, emails, and forums threads to keep in touch with friends and interests. Post Facebook, people would log in and refresh Facebook/Insta instead.

It should be the opposite. Saliva enzymes, stomach acid, and bile takes care of most pathogens, whereas anal lining is basically a direct route to your bloodstream.
This is why anal is considered the riskiest option for sex or drugs.

I don’t, because sadly it’s the only thing that works with the right, and really people in general.
They don’t care about actually well researched policies or political content - these get labelled as the “liberal wall of text.”
We need more of these sorts of jokes for engagement. See for example Megan Coyne’s tweets when she ran Biden’s official Whitehouse account.

Single payer healthcare systems get all the political attention, but we really need a single payer judicial system. Basically public defenders but properly funded and for prosecution as well.
The US judicial system is also particularly bad because each party is responsible for their own legal fees. Most of the world has the loser pay the winner’s fees.

- Comment on Humans can be tracked with unique 'fingerprint' based on how their bodies block Wi-Fi signals 2 months ago:
The WiFi tracking tech is not too new, but re-identification of subjects is. That is, instead of the shopping centre having to build up their own database to profile you, they can just match your unique biomarker to a external data broker’s database, supposedly.

Luckin Coffee, the extremely successful Chinese competitor to Starbucks exclusively operates via their app. Sadly, users prefer it because of all the discounts and coupons it offers. So really, just surveillance capitalism as usual.
- Comment on (Laser) Printer go brrrr 2 months ago:
People love laser printers (and rightfully so compared to inkjets), but ink tanks fix most of the issues with inkjets.
Ink tanks are refilled with generic ink, as opposed to proprietary cartridges. They thus have vastly cheaper running costs, even more so than lasers, which still needs replacements for their drum units every few years.
Also, laser toner is literally fine microplastic powder, and printing works by depositing and “baking” this powder onto paper. Laser printers result in terrible indoor air quality without adequate ventilation.

The CIA produced many briefs for Bush warning about Bin Laden in 2001 before the actual attacks. Bush did not take any of these seriously, as summarised by one of his now infamous response “All right. You’ve covered your ass.”

The laws are different for the US, where middle lane hogging is generally not illegal. However, all states stipulate that you must keep in the right lane unless overtaking, which is similar in spirit. Annoyingly, all but Florida then add an exception to this rule for highways with three lanes or more.
Middle lane hogging is mainly outlawed in the UK, who have correctly recognised it as being incredibly dangerous and a curse of congestion by preventing other people from overtaking.
