@cstross In a recent #ttrpg campaign I played, there was a self-styled Space Karen and a villain named Edgelord Grimdark.

@jpyper @jupiter man nano and man pico both give me the page for pico.

@dn The first sentence is a reference to the first line of "My Strange Addiction", which in turn is apparently a sample from "The Office":

@trinsec If you're editing prose paragraphs, TextEdit might be a more natural choice. Soft wrapping could also be a reasonable compromise.

What's really surprising is that, according to the responses, this nano has the *opposite* behavior of nano on other platforms.

@trinsec Yes, you can get the desired behavior with either a command-line flag or a config file. I was just surprised to see this as the default.

@jpyper @jupiter Interesting!

When I ask for man nano, I get a man page for pico, which offers "-w Disable word wrap (thus allow editing of long lines)."

So when I run nano in MacOS 13.2.1, it really runs pico (which seems to have the opposite behavior to proper nano in this regard), even though:

% which nano
/usr/bin/nano

@stux @nyrath has the mother of all websites on this sort of thing:

@elsie I think Free Geek is limited to the Portland, OR area, but maybe they would know of organizations near you:

@gothnbass@linuxrocks.online Yup!

Unsurprisingly, I own more of them than I've read.

@dpnash @MooseAllain @Lowie@universeodon.com A smowl, if you will.
