Any instruction that involves "Google X" (or even a general term "Install Y"), is not a good instruction. It is like a maze - easy to go once you know the path.

Any instruction that involves "Google X" (or even a general term "Install Y"), is not a good instruction. It is like a maze - easy to go once you know the path. Otherwise - dozens of subtle things that can go wrong, at each step (e.g. installing a different version of Y, or to a wrong path, etc).
The best instructions can have descirptions, but also contains a FULL list of command lines instructions, ideally without any placeholders.
- boramalper 4y agoIt's presumably deliberate: by keeping annas-blog.org clean from copyrighted content (or links to copyrighted content), they will be able to retain a public channel despite the illegal nature of their work.
- dark-star 4y agoI usually tend to agree, but in this case the link would be a link to pirated content and would quickly get the site taken down. So "google XYZ" is the only viable way here
- stared 4y agoThere is a "wine brick"-type instruction workaround (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vine-Glo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vine-Glo): "After dissolving the brick in a gallon of water, do not place the liquid in a jug away in the cupboard for twenty days, because then it would turn into wine." I have seen this type of messages a few times on growkits.
