Which readme?
The one on the github that has out of date instructions and tells you to check the discord?
The 6 year out-of-date one on your distro's wiki?
or The gnu-info/manpage that is only for the original upstream and doesn't tell you where all the files have been moved or that half of the software isn't actually installed since it was split out into extra packages for justdebianthings
To be honest, sounds like you aren't using arch btw. Jk I have the same issues on arch
Do I really need to remind this is free software made by benevolent developers? I get it it's infuriating but it's still in some way a gift you were given and seem unhappy with.
If you give me a 1000 piece puzzle for free, but without the instructions or a box picture to go off of, you've done a nice thing by gifting me something but have also failed miserably as I'll never fuckin solve that puzzle
Terrible analogy honestly. Feel free to not use this software, nobody will ever force you to use it.
This is not software to entertain you. It's a tool that you don't understand how to use and choose to blame the people building it for free.
Ftfy
Just because it's provided free doesn't mean you're off the hook for not telling people how it works, dumbass
Why so hostile and the name calling..? They're saying it's a lot of work for oftentimes a single person to do. That's just the truth.
You're a fantastic idiot if that's what you actually think. That's not what they're saying nor relevant to the discussion at all
Yikes. Not sure why I expected anything else.
Cuz you're a moron
There is a lot of entitlement around free software. People expecting free things, often written in someone's spare time, to be really polished just don't understand I guess. On top of that, good documentation is hard to write and sometimes it's a completely different skill than writing the software itself.
