Why do you use words like "Unix pipes" when you don't know what they mean?

[mkr-hn]

I don't even know what he means. Is he talking about | or BSD sockets? It's a mystery.

[chriscorcoran]

| not BSD Sockets.

[chriscorcoran]

Yeah, that was an attempt at sarcasm. Clearly it didn't work.

I was tying to imply that FSF types want all web apps to be accessible via the command line. <sarcasm>Because who needs a fancy tabbed browser when you've got lynx?</sarcasm>

Just for the record, I am well aware of what Unix pipes are and how to use them :)

[jfm3]

Wait, I get it now. This as an ad hominem attack against the FSF that assumed the reader would hold "UNIX pipes" and command lines as bad things.

I think you're on the wrong forum.

[gloob]

I don't entirely understand why you would spend your time trying to imply something about the FSF that is completely unrelated to what the FSF cares about. Could you fill me in, perhaps?

[chriscorcoran]

I tried to make a joke playing off the stereotype of what some people think those working for the FSF look like. In short that they're all typical unix grey beards and are professional internet curmudgeons. It didn't work. Sorry.

[mkr-hn]

I doubt the HN unix gray beards appreciate being lumped in with the FSF unix gray beards.

Weird, last I checked my "command line" browser had tabs.

Yup, still does.
