What's wrong with Stack over man pages? Most man pages don't you give advice or context, just the raw reference, but sometimes the best way to do something is not even the tool you originally looked up (say, scp vs rsync). Stack c

They don't have an inherent conflict of interest the way Google does (advertising vs privacy in the same company). The App Store makes them plenty of money, and if anything, enhancing user "privacy" by limiting access of othe
