Why was this question on how to turn off Adobe Acrobat PDF reader in Google Chrome closed as not about computer hardware or software?
I am not wrongly calling out "corporate desktop policy" but it turns out that user configuration can fix the issue, hence on topic here.

Is software-rec an unwanted tag, yes or no?
@Mokubai I'd like to argue further saying that adding a tag is cleaner than ignoring questions etc. but meta.stackexchange.com/q/401324/178179 killed the little motivation I had to help anyway so let's all bury our heads into the sand together

no, I turned "some questions need fixing but which ones?" to "here are the questions that need fixing ". I didn't feel the need to post a duplicate question on meta.

retagging is better than ignoring.

Because retagging makes it easier to see which posts to improve.

Closing goes against the most upvoted answer, which stated "the rule always was: Can the question be rewritten to ask for a technique rather than a tool? If so, then it should be rewritten. If not, then it's probably not right for us."

No, the retagging makes it easier to clean up. Unless we just want bury our heads in the sand and ignore unfit questions?
comment
Is software-rec an unwanted tag, yes or no?
"sigh In general the convention is to ask first before doing a mass tag" that was already asked on meta.superuser.com/q/8505/116475 and the most upvoted answer stated "the rule always was: Can the question be rewritten to ask for a technique rather than a tool? If so, then it should be rewritten. If not, then it's probably not right for us.". My retagging was in that spirit: tag such questions so that they can be either rewritten or closed. Otherwise, plenty of unfit questions are lingering around, as they have been doing for years. Thank you Franck.

Could we finally get rid of [software-rec]?
@JoepvanSteen Adding more to the pile is better than missing questions.

@JoepvanSteen it's the question. The answer says "Can the question be rewritten to ask for a technique rather than a tool? If so, then it should be rewritten. If not, then it's probably not right for us."

@JoepvanSteen The questions are undesired. The tag allows to find and fix.

@JoepvanSteen no time to edit. Retagging allows others to see which questions needs to be rephrased/closed/removed/etc.

@JoepvanSteen Many software recommendation request can be rewritten to ask for a technique rather than a tool.

@JoepvanSteen Blindly close voting goes against that answer. "Can the question be rewritten to ask for a technique rather than a tool? If so, then it should be rewritten. If not, then it's probably not right for us." Retagging allows others to see which questions needs to be rephrased/closed/removed/etc.

@JoepvanSteen Oliver is suggesting to try to rephrase software-rec questions before removing the software-rec tag. My retagging allows us to see which questions needs to be rephrased/closed/removed/etc.

Proposed resolution : Quoting cannot be called plagiarism
@JourneymanGeek There are several topics at hand, so for now I am trying to narrow down on only one topic: the use of the term plagiarism. Forget about everything else. According to all dictionaries I've seen, quoting with appropriate sourcing is not plagiarism. Yet, OP's "account is temporarily suspended for plagiarism". Why?
