it's unlikely for anything to be in a perfect balance, so if something doesn't noticably grow, it's likely that it's shrinking (which of course is what kills online communites unless they are already large)

no, it's just squiggly lines, no writing on that paper.

you can read "dumber" books, but the internet literally responds to you.

what? where? look at the username, that's clearly anonymous, the hacker group.

thanks! this didn't solved my specific problem but caused another problem for me (e.g. _M_A_N(1)), but while searching about MANROFFOPT I came across a reddit post I had somehow missed when searching for a solution, and it it the actual solution was mentioned. what worked for me is export MANPAGER='nvim +Man!' instead.

 

I use zsh and have export MANPAGER="nvim -Rc 'set ft=man' -" in my .zshrc. this used to work well but since a couple of weeks ago, whenever I run man (e.g. man man) I get many weird escape characters (e.g. MAN(1)). when running man and manually piping the output to another program (e.g. man man | nvim -Rc 'set ft=man' -) I don't get these characters (e.g. MAN(1)). I haven't been able to figure out why this happens or how to fix it. does anyone else have an idea?

edit: turns out :h man had a solution, using export MANPAGER='nvim +Man!'' instead of export MANPAGER="nvim -Rc 'set ft=man' -".

I update every weekend because that's when I have time to fix the issues that (rarely) come up because of updates. I also update and restart if there's a problem I don't understand as a way to try to solve that.

didn't notice this, I use a couple of alts and create a new one from time to time (although I do this less and less because I mostly use lemmy instead now)
