Nah, speaking as a Gen Y/millennial, we’re the failed generation. You guys and the folks after you are the hope. Many of us graduated into the Great Recession and then went through the pandemic. You guys are graduating into a much better economy, but some unprecedented hurdles (in recent times) like climate change. You guys are the hope and future. The difference between Gen Y and Gen Z is like the difference between the folks who came of age in the Great Depression vs. the generation that came of age in and around WWII (the Greatest Generation). I just hope we leave a hopeful world for my gen alpha nephew for when he comes of age.
Once, ages ago, I tried to correct the math of the Editors of Shacknews’ math and like you, I was wrong. I made it to the front page of ShackNews the next night, haha. I used the same user name as I used on a forum with my friends, so my friends all found it out, haha.
thank you. I believe you are correct about edge being the default pdf viewer. Microsoft made edge into a big fat one tool to do everything chrome replacement.
which turned out to be useful on a Macbook, haha. Annotating PDFs with a drawing tool wouldn’t have been a problem on Linux.
So, it gets kind of complicated, but basically I bought the Wacom One to use as a drawing tablet with Windows, Linux, and MacOS for PC/laptop drawing programs like Krita and Corel Painter (Humble Bundle purchase). Also had an iPad Pro that was slightly busted to take notes on PDFs of Powerpoints using GoodReader. Now I can’t remember if I failed to bring it with me or if it wasn’t working, but I only had my MacBook Pro and and the Wacom tablet to take notes with for a couple of months. Apple’s default PDF viewer Preview and even an app I had paid for a long time ago, Clearview, had no drawing annotation capabilities. But Microsoft Edge has a drawing annotation tool for PDFs that even Firefox doesn’t have. I think it comes from Microsoft Edge being the default PDF viewer in Windows.
It was the only way I could annotate PDFs without paying money using a Wacom One Tablet and a stylus in MacOS. That was one useful use.
That’s slavery/indentured servitude forcing someone into a contract. How is that Adam Smith capitalism? It’s just old school wealthy upper class exploiting people.
As a person born nearly a decade after you, I pride my generation (Gen Y/millennial) as also experiencing life before computers and the internet in your home, but still developing (sort of naturally) with all that (but still remembering what it felt like to be really and truly bored). Gen Zers born after a similar gap as between me and those born later, don’t remember life before the internet or 9/11.
