      Yeah, give me a raw TeX file, or at least a plain Markdown document. Maybe reStructuredText, if they’re feeling Pythonic.

        NOOOOOOO!!! This is a website! It has text prior to the PDF, just put the damn article there! The website clearly already supports HTML, otherwise we wouldn’t be seeing anything!

        (But yes, I still like those formats, I just think it should be a no brainer for a website to actually have it’s contents as HTML.)

      I love how the comment section on their site just ended up being a format argument because of that, no interest in the actual topic lol

        it’s already got a paragraph of text, so clearly they can put text on their sites. PDFs are ass. I do not need to print this. Even then, HTML can be printed.

        Like imagine if the rest of this Lemmy comment was in a PDF… Why the fuck would I do that? That’s what this article feels like.
