      Right click on him and click “print.” Then where you pick a printer choose “convert/print to PDF.”

        People saying pdf file instead of pedophile because of internet brain rot. What a cool thing to discuss serious topics and call them stupid fucking names in the least serious way possible.

          I really hate the culture of self censorship people are developing. Fuck the corporate clean Internet.

          I’m not advocating for being uncivilized but we should name the things we are discussing by their names.

          I hate how people call it “cheese pizza” for “CP/child porn.”

          Like, I get that YouTube is fucking bullshit about censoring things that don’t immediately bring them as revenue, but it’s still gross imo.

          You’re not defending anyone by calling it something entirely unrelated aside from the first letter of each word.

            Its very prevalent in Commie-China-Places. Pooh-Bear to mean XiPIGpIng. 8964 for TiannamenSquare Massacre. Taiwan #1 Country. All those are censored behind the Great Firewall of China.

              I’m pretty sure that the Chinese can’t get on Lemmy anyway though. If they somehow find a way then they don’t need to censor themselves because obviously.

              Seems like a weird justification.

                no i never said that justifies it. Chinese people go to jail if they are found browsing outside the Great Firewall.Google and other social media censorship can, just as quickly, lead to social credit scores ( well credit scores are gatekeeping poor people already ) and inevitable erosion of free speech and chill fair-use copyright exercising.

                Censorship might have edge cases ( terror attack suspect details, privacy from surveillance, etc) but it should never be the norm and it should be directly dealt with jury-trial court-cases with Billion-dollar penalties to ensure it will never happen again without stringent checks-and-balances.

            Pretty sure that cheese pizza originated in IT because it was so common to see, and ignore, CP on exec’s computers when you had to go fix them. It was used to share the info without getting busted talking about it.

          It’s because on many social media, the word pedo / pedofile wakes up the censor bots while PDF / PDF file does not. Yet.

          It’s like how people censor the word Microsoft as M$. Like why, say the name

            That isn’t a censor, it is a statement and an abbreviation… I suppose PDF could be an abbreviation as well with pedo being one letter longer. PDF file on the other hand is just censor circumventing or their brand of humor.

              No it isn’t because they’re abbreviating it to a phrase that’s more complicated to type. As opposed to the obvious abbreviation that even Microsoft use of MS

      I would tell you but I’m not signing up for the legalese involved in an Adobe Premiere Cloud Subscription. Fuckers reserve the right to use my art as AI training data?

      With some sort of Adobe tool I suppose. The use of TLAs by the US crowd is becoming increasingly confusing to me.
