Dear CLI utility writers (*cough* nmcli *cough*) that assume a terminal width larger than 80 columns,
Could you just... NOT, please?
Use two lines per entry if you have to, pad it out, abbreviate something, I don't care. Just don't put important details after the 80th column, please! 😢
(I standardize on 80 columns because that's what old terminals used, and I'm doing more than one thing at a time, always. Thank you =)
