It could be painful for a cat to walk on this. Or just deeply uncomfortable. I don't see this as some silly thing.

Cute cat! Nice to see she has ways around it.

What the hell is Proton's direction?

I didn't really care about Scribe but this is just so off-brand. Just what.

This man is happy to let the nation burn to the ground, and pour extra fuel on top, so long as he stays in power.

Unicode in filenames? Are you crazy?!

Okay that was /s to some extent but I gotta rant, I'm totally convinced that there's still new software today that completely trip over themselves when files or paths have non-ASCII characters, or sometimes even a space. Incompetence didn't go anywhere.

People calling this picture fake, but it's obviously real because how else could this picture exist???

This just makes it more realistic

"Who sings Take On Me?"

"A-ha."

"What's so funny?"

"Nothing's funny. I was just answering your question."

"Well what's your answer?"

"A-ha."

"Why I oughta..."

"What's the problem?"

"I just want you to answer my question."

"I just told you! A-ha!"

"What about this situation is so amusing to you?!"

Wondering if you say this in order to protect others from the pain/horror of learning it, or to protect some deep conspiratory secret. Maybe I'll just open a textbook and find out...

The takeaway is that the format doesn't have any limit, but Adobe Acrobat in particular implements an arbitrary cutoff size. Other readers, such as Firefox's built-in PDF reader or Mac's Preview, can handle any arbitrary size. The article ends with a PDF the size of the universe, weighing an unimaginable 549 bytes!

But that limitlessness can come at a cost: according to the article, Preview doesn't handle UserUnit which should affect page size, while Acrobat (and Firefox) do. I'm guessing (gut feeling) Acrobat probably supports the most features overall, Firefox probably supports the vast majority of those used in practice, and Preview only allows Apple Approved™ PDF features and extensions deemed worthy of Their Appleness's consideration. Chrome's PDF reader is probably on the same level as Firefox, I guess.
