I am sympathetic to this, however mostly I just want to send a resume for someone else to print, without the other person’s computer rendering it like garbage.
People can get all kinds of PDF software, and I’m pretty sure you can zoom, extract text, change font, etc. Idk how software can do anti -glare?
Honestly I’m not sure what format I would use outside of .PDF for documents where I want formatting and layout preserved.
.docx - compatibility issues
.doc - old fashioned
.rtf - not enough options, and old fashioned
.txt - good unless I need formatting
.md - no guarantee their computer opens it correctly, and hard to edit, and I can’t choose fonts
I’m going to watch out for this but I’ve never heard it before, and .pdf is literally the only format that will look the same to everyone reading it so I’m gonna keep liking it. Nothing yucky about it.

1·9 days agoYes totally it bothers me a lot when words mean something different than what it seems like they should mean…
Weird i didn’t think the R slur had any place in medicine any more.
I have plenty of bad memories involving that word :(

7·10 days agoThank you for your explanatory responses. I decided to look up an authoritative definition for myself. According to what I found, it isn’t a medical term and doesn’t have a medical definition, so means whatever people say it means. Which is I guess how language always works, it is just that it is a new word with roots that imply a broader meaning.
The lists generally exclude personality disorders, but this doesn’t seem logical to me, although I am not a neurologist. I thought all brain differences arise or manifest as differences in the brain structure.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•I want to attend therapy for the first time! What are some things I should know before signing up?

7·11 days agoAre you making this up?
I’m going by the parts of the words: neuro meaning of the mind/brain and divergent meaning deviating from normal. I don’t see why “neurodivergent” wouldn’t include all of ADHD, autism, personality disorders, and mental illness as these are all brain differences.
