How can this tumblr tech replace pdf and displaypostscript?

>women

Wtf is pdf

based boomers

I think the senior exec who pitched the idea meant tumblr would be a big and robust as PDF was when just regular word documents existed. Think like an executive. Buzzwords, analogies, corporate speak, etc.

This is a joke, right? Do these people understand even a single word coming out of their mouths?
I kinda wanna ask for more info from them, just to find the point where they realise their entire idea is shit and they back off.

>roastie CEO can't into Portable Document Format

They banned porn from a site largely used by artists, what do you think?

I thought they meant interactive PDFs with gifs and sound, which already exists.

Marissa Mayer did everything to run Yahoo to the ground, we got sold for laughable $4.48 billion to Verizon.
Verizon is the biggest contractor of the company Mayer is working for right now.

Are they talking about the Portable Document Format and are just retarded or am I missing something?

All of them

The fuck? That doesn't even make sense.

Remember, we are talking about Marissa Mayer here.

Yahoo at that time had already made it clear that they hire executives based on diversity, not merit or talent.

but you could easily replace HTML documents with PostScript documents

Beat me to it.

How would you have pitched Jow Forums to Yahoo?

I think the exec was on coke and just mixed up PDF and HTML.

Peak boomerism.

>people still don't understand it's a satire

Your employees aren't going to say things like that unless you make sacrifices to make the workplace enjoyable for them, so they will also be willing to make sacrifices to keep it that way.

Also, HA!

So is Japan solely what's keeping Yahoo alive at this point?

>buy it, it will make us look cool
>ok done, what do we do with it
>you know what I hate about Microsoft Office

Replacing PDF is a noble goal in itself but idk how Tumblr fits into that

What is a PDF? A document.

Tumblr was supposed to be the new way to document things.

Then they deleted the porn, which was the part keeping it together, to try and seem more family friendly and compete indirectly with stuff like Twitch and Instagram (no nudity on either, plenty of thots).

I doubt it's a joke. My company hired a CEO that clearly didn't understand anything about our business, but he did well in another sector, so he's gotta be good for the company, right?
I even spoke to the guy in person and he was obviously clueless about the industry as a whole and asked a ton of dumb questions.
Well unsurprisingly he fucked everything up and ended up "resigning" about 1 year later.

Personal defense force, they wanted to turn tumbr trannies into mercenaries

latex is bloat use plan 9 roff

yes, now that the financial section of yahoo is no longer compelling

No, Verizon doesn't own any part of Yahoo Japan. Yahoo Japan is wholly owned by SoftBank, a Japanese company. It is a separate company from Yahoo in everything but name.

They already announced they are shutting down, user. The whole stupid thing was just a stock buyback scheme into profitable closure.

Yahoo news and fantasy sport

what the fuck am i reading

Pretty sure this was just Yahoo's way of giving tumblr a big fuck you. Like, "Windows? Sure thing. We're gonna turn that into the next generation VHS".

>When FSF CEO Richard Stallman bought Windows for a cool two dollars in 2022, the move was both flashy and symbolic: FSF, a relic of the early computer age, showed it could be hip with the times by embracing a VHS loved by millennials

I still haven't found a suitable replacement for porn.

google insider sinking the competition forever

He obviously meant a new standard that everyone uses. It's an executive, so he speaks like a retard when it comes to tech stuff.

He should've said "WordPress" or "Blogspot" for it to make any sense though.

Too many drugs.

But more seriously are they're saying that they want legal ownership of every document in existence.
Or is PDF what boomers look to when they're thinking of extremely popular computer stuff?
You'd think even boomers would say 'the next facebook' about a social media site.

Wow they actually did all that.
Though the google purchase is less bad than it seems. They'd fuck it up and we'd have diversity in search engines on the web.

fuck the bourgeoisie

humblr

I'm not finding anything relevant about Yahoo Finance closing down, but speculation articles from 2017.
Is there an updated source, or is this more spec?

condoms?

tumblr was not worth a billion, none of these social media sites are worth anything.

Maybe that asshole meant "PDA"?
It's the only way this shit makes any kind of sense.

I worked in a retail department store for 6 years, and in that time we went through 5 CEO's.
Each new one would be fresh of the plane from Dubai, or from Europe, with the latest and greatest ideas. Each one would change our uniform, implement some retarded surface level changes that none the less required huge spending and disruption, then ''''resign'''' by the next financial year.
In that time they would have earned enough for me to retire on. In one fucking year.

It was in that job that I realized the world is fucking retarded and most people don't know what they are doing, and that massive mistakes are made constantly. A mediocre IQ, low inhibition and 'presence' gets you the furthest in our current meme world

What if there was something like a text document, but with a markup language that made it so much more? It wouldn't just be text anymore, it would be "hyper" text in a sense.

all bourgeois are retards and you’re an insecure faggot hiding behind misogyny for pretending that men shouldnt be there either

google the bread book

How do I turn my website into a pfd? thx

It's when you really don't want other people editing your document.

>retarded Yahoo buys it for 1.1 BILLION
>retarded muh feminismus woman gets some completely random idea to turn it into PDF which makes no use whatsoever of the existing community and requires reshuffling and re-engineering shit which costs more than simply creating a new project with that goal in mind from scratch
>Tumblr gets sold to Verizon for 400 MILLION, losing half its value, because of dumb female empowerment
>Verizon decides muh objektifikatiun BAD! MUH FEMINISMS
>retarded puritan feminists ban porn
>Tumblr loses a huge chunk of its userbase
>Tumblr then gets sold for about $3 (THREE) MILLION
>Tumblr goes from 1.1 BILLION to 400 million to 3 million, because of dumb female empowerment and muh feminismus
It's truly impressive observing the death of what would otherwise be a surefire exploitable brand to anyone with an IQ above 60, all because it was shifted along the hands of feminist and woke-left women, instead of giving it to centrist/libertarian women who would at least have a clarity of both mind and ovary.

Yet again the lesson remains: Never ever ever give any managerial position on this planet to a woman with far-left political leaning or a vocal feminist, they are the most retarded women and an affront to the entire gender if you want to paint it in positive light. Always choose women who are center or right or left-libertarian if you want even a remote likelihood of a woman who does the job and proves a positive example for women in general.

No, I bet you anything they meant PDF. It makes sense. Most desk jockeys, even bourgie executives at a technology company, only use computers for email, Excel, LinkedIn, and viewing PDFs. A PDF is a document and a blog post is a document. Someone must have gotten the idea that a Tumblr post is kind of like a PDF, but with social bits. PDFs are popular, so clearly success for Tumblr means superseding PDFs. They probably imagined people would make a Tumblr post and link to it instead of emailing a PDF. Basically, they thought it was more like what Google Drive is.

Understanding this thought process will help you understand how computer illiterates see computers.

What the FUCK is wrong with her laugh?

Reading this makes me mad because it seems to be the case everywhere and in everything as both you and say.

I didn't even use or like tumblr for the most part except for some lewd drawfags one in a blue moon. It's the thought that this kind of thought process exists at all that I find infuriating.

Not Yahoo Finance, we're talking about Altaba

Euthanise the boomers already, holy shit.

good post

you faggots are retarded maybe boomers were based all along

You can edit PDFs without problems.
Much importantly the selling factor of PDF, and why it is such widely spread is that it is consistent between platforms.

"The bourgeoisie" is a fictional concept. Company owners today are often not owning the means of productions anymore.

Also this, as is obvious to any thinking human, is a joke.

Probably Doesn't Fail

kek

It had a good thing going when porn artists could post their their shit freely but after the purge the only reason to use it was for the occasional post from a doom mapper/modder.

so they have no fucking clue what to do

CEO's are basically glorified accountants. They're there to reorganize the company and save money. They know fuck all about products and services and just see numbers on paper.

>buy an entire mainstream website
>it gets shut down less than 10 years later

Go work anywhere

That was done as an overreaching reaction to the US making it that content encouraging prostitution (whether it's whores posting prices, positive talk about getting into prostitution, etc) is hosted by a website, the host is liable and gets in shit. Same reason Craigslist closed their personals.
