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

      RTFM= Read The (Fucking/Friendly) Manual

      IMO it’s harsh, but reasonable to say if the documentation for something is actually clear and concise. It’s particularly relevant with software that has man pages since those are typically excellent.
