Hopefully it’s funny enough to offset that I’m reposting my own post.

    I just spend a couple of minutes researching and trying to understand the joke, but I’m sorry to say my efforts have been unsuccessful. How much ultra-specific information am I expected to know here?

    Disclaimer: it’s past my bed time and my brain is malfunctioning accordingly, so this might be on me

      Unix philosophy is 1 program = 1 function, so if you want to send a email Unix way you use 1 program to write the email (vim of course) and another program to send it. The joke here is that sex is a functionality to the alistra program making it not ok with the Unix philosophy, therefore that functionality is going to move to its own program alistsex

      From sleepy brain to another, it’s a joke that Unix purists will go out of their way to remove a “sex” command just because it’s not following the unix philosphy.

      There was 0 actual complaint, however, I will indeed remove the joke command as it won’t be the funny number version anymore
