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

You’d be lucky to find TFM these days.

It’s all IKEA sketches at best by now and if shit doesn’t work you then can get a new one.

Best alternative is to Search The Fucking YouTube.

It’s horrible, I know, but it’s a pretty large database with some good users in between.

I recently had an issue with my car that the official brand mechanic couldn’t fix or even be bothered to acknowledge. I searched all the forums (and read the manual), but I finally found the solution on YouTube. Thanks to 3rd party software I was able to download it for future reference, because who knows when it’ll be taken down…
