   @kirby There’s gatekeeping and then there’s just annoying fag bullshit that benefits no one at all. RTFM niggers fall into the latter category.

   If it’s a short read, fine, but there are programs out there that would take hours just to understand the switches, never mind understanding the software fully enough to properly implement it.

   Like gatekeep all you want, in fact I am in favor of it, but don’t pretend autistically screeching about reading a fucking book solves anything.

     @anonymous @kirby Have you tried reading the fucking manual
     
     manpages tend to be pretty good, although shout-out to rsync's manpage which early on tells you it can use ssh or rsync proto, mentions that rsync proto works with modules, and then never once explains what a module actually is, so all of the subsequent text about how things work with modules never makes sense.

     @Zerglingman @kirby I want to run a program effortlessly the first time. After that, if it’s worth my time to understand, I will learn. Rsync funnily enough would be one of those cases, though they’re fairly intuitive.

     I really do appreciate the standardization of flags across programs. Saves so many headaches.

     @a7 @anonymous @kirby That's just called masochism.

     @Zerglingman@freespeechextremist.com @anonymous@freespeechextremist.com @kirby@lab.nyanide.com I don’t read the manual because I fetishize people being angry at me for asking stupid questions.
