So I guess it’s just only us Millennials that know how to convert a PDF properly, and we’re just sandwiched in between boomers and gen Z finding the most ridiculous ways to try to accomplish that task.
Imagemagick be converting anything into anything
(Actually in this case, it make an html file and a png file which is referenced in html file and html page displays it)
This is why millenials, despite all else wrong with us, are the best generation. I asked a kid the other day if they knew what a directory was… Crickets.
What’s fucking wrong * is * that we’re sandwiched between Boomers/GenX and Zoomers. Too young to be able to shove the Cold War brain rotters out of power, too old to convince the Zoomer incels to talk to a girl instead of listening to Andrew Tate.

Might as well get something out of being the last adult generation before the collapse.
I was probably using computers when you were still in your mom’s ovaries. My first one was an Apple ][+ in 1982.
As always, GenX just forgotten.
Who?
Yeah, I didn’t want to shit on you guys. Most of you are all right.
Gen X is a mixed bag when it comes to this but most I’ve come across are more like Boomers than Millenials on this.
