`yes` coreutils? could it be useful why #asknostr what the of anyone #linux #yes potentially why and #yestr part exists, heck 😆

#gnu know Does it is for

My guess is something with teletype, maybe catching input or so. I really wonder though because these days just why

For scripts, to automate things that expect user input of the (y/N)? type. It is a little weird though, sure.

So I thought too, but it's for backwards compat to teletypes? I mean, there is `read` 🤔

old english gēse. useful for social bonding.

#nostr 😀
