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

    • can’t RTFM when no one WTFM
    • software projects with manuals are an exception – most projects can’t be bothered (rare cases, they just export the API calls to a README and call that the manual)
    • hardware projects follow the stereotype of a manual in Chinese, machine translated to English, and distributed as a fourth generation photocopy
