We no longer say RTFM, read the fucking manual, anymore. I wonder why that is. Is it because more and more projects are moving all documentation to discord?

Some projects still have manuals… But there seems to be less expectation people will familiarize themselves with manuals anymore. I wonder why

    I would love to RTFM if vendors would provide anything resembling them. Grrrrrr.

    Like, I work with a lot of FOSS projects in my hobby-time. The absolute bulk of them have extensive documentation (online rather than printed, but it at least exists). At work, when my org pays a vendor big $$$$ for a solution, we’re lucky to get a Word doc with a few unhelpful screenshots because they expect us to keep them on retainer for any support/technical issues.

    Nerd rage over lol.
