Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.
==========
Other universes to visit:
Separatist systems:
Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):
!starwarstelevision@lemmy.world
==========
IMPORTANT
Please do not post the "good friend" or similar copypasta
==========
Our galactic citizens have requested more specific rules, so here are a few.
The general idea is, if you're looking here for rules, you're probably someone who doesn't need to have them spelled out. You're fine. But anyway:
-
This is a community for Star Wars memes. This means typically screenshots of Star Wars media with some text or context that's meant to be funny and/or thoughtful. All SW media is welcome: movies, games, comic books, fanart... Other kinds of content, like video links or meta memes (about this community, or Lemmy), are fine as well, just keep it on topic.
-
We are all friends here, and love (sometimes love to hate) Star Wars. Be nice to each other.
-
As fans of fictional media, we can be passionate. If you very strongly disagree with something or someone, take a deep breath before reacting. Anger leads to the dark side!
-
Everything in Star Wars has happened a long time ago, in a galaxy far away, and it's a rich universe of millions of words and millions of years of history. So current Earthly matters really shouldn't concern us here. In other words, leave politics, philosophies and convictions behind the door. This applies even if it's about something related to Star Wars.
-
Original content is preferred. Reposts are fine, just please limit to a maximum of 3 per day, per citizen. It is recommended, but not required, to mark original memes as (OC) and reposts as (repost).
-
Local mods are the Jedi council. They may take actions that are necessary to maintain peace and stability of the Republic, even beyond the rules outlined here. Follow their guidance.
-
Regular rules of the Lemmy.world instance apply.

I hadn't opened acrobat in like a year, I usually let my browser handle pdf viewing but about a week or two ago acrobat somehow became the default pdf viewer on my work computer. I was greeted with a half page banner about AI, then when that is dismissed there is a persistent menu at the bottom for AI covering part of the reading pane. And there is a brightly colored glowing AI button in the top right that clashes with my dark theme. I feel bad for professionals that are adobe hostages, seems like all their products just get worse. Really wish large organizations didn't feel like it is required to use their trash products.
I’ve been pretty happy with PDFgear as a replacement for Acrobat (for when Firefox isn’t enough)
throwback to that one update that somehow managed to break the "X" as in, the button that closes the software. how do you even break that????
The X just sends a signal to your application. If you ignore that signal, it will just do nothing.
That signal tells your application to clean itself. Maybe the changed how that "cleaning itself" worked, in a way that lead to actually ignoring the signal all together.
The thing is easy to break. The question is how that even got past QA testing. Or even just any other dev testing.
A single person launching the program and trying to close it should see the bug.
oh it wasn't ignored, it gave you a generic error message when you clicked it :D
yeah that's what i mean, how do you break something so obvious and then just make that version live globally. it took them a day to fix it, even if an intern did it it should've been fixed in minutes
I'm pretty sure the updates are usually just to replace the icon on your desktop which you deleted immediately after the last update. Who launches Acrobat from the icon anyway? I've only ever opened it by opening a PDF directly.
[Ppl who never paid for Adobe]: "My software? Tf you are."
(I never used Adobe, but if I did, I would monovison it bcs of a sick eye patch)
I was happy af when I didn't need an Adobe license anymore.
But today, in this world of insane subscriptions, getting the whole adobe suite for 30€ per month is fantastic. All this software just got 30 per month. Very good value. This world sucks F them all.
i get 95% of their software for €0 a month :)
