This link is a pdf that autodownloads

You know that’s what links on the web do, right? If you see a link to a cat pic, it’s auto-downloading that pic when you click it.

If you want to say “This link is a pdf that autodownloads”, you can say “PDF on the web”; it’s faster, just as sound a phrase, and just as complete.

What you could have easily said was nothing.

Riighhht, because your browser popping an image into temporary cache is the exact same as downloading a pdf into your downloads folder, as long as you ignore the security implications of holding random pdfs in long term storage, bypassing browser security features, and relying solely on your pdf viewer.

I mean semantically sure, you’re not wrong, but you’re well aware of what I meant and your condescending attitude reaks of someone stuck on the first peak of a Duning-Kruger chart.
