I'm annoyed by the fact I have to take multiple steps on macOS just to launch a freshly installed application.

It's been a bad month for PDF's reputation as a format that's "more secure" than HTML or word processing documents. First a study by security firm Check Point found 68% of cyberattacks begin in your inbox, with 22% of these hiding in PDFs. https://lnkd.in/eizRt6pw Then Meta accidentally pissed off Apple, Google, and Snap by sharing info about these competitors in its opening statement for the US government's antitrust case. Meta's slides were redacted PDFs, but the black rectangles were easi…
