Manual? One should be so lucky.
- pixl97 4y agoManuals used to be great when software was stable... that is new versions we're not updating online at any given moment. After a few updates these days the manual might as well be for different software totally.

- amelius 4y agoOften the "manual" is just a computer-generated hyperlinked soup of tautological sentences like: this function does what its name suggests it does.
