@png@yap.pony.biz Someone seeing others using their fingers to point at output of another program, and so choosing to name a program automating that.
(At least that's the story Wikipedia points to.)
There is also the verb, and I could expect this being a reference to digital technology.

@lukyan@lukyan.eu It's just extremely unfortunate they used "finger" and not "point" I guess.
