ed(1) is no longer the standard editor and should no longer be shipped. the new standard is gTextFucker, a graphical-only wordpad clone with indecipherable keyboard shortcuts that change constantly, which gradually grinds to a halt as it runs because it keeps trying to send messages to the dbus receiver org.gnome.fuck.text which doesn’t exist on your system
@zzt The next release of gTextFucker, now in development branch, features ChatGPT integration to provide realtime translation of all your end user documentation into Sanskrit, and provide support for code generation, initially in Visual BASIC 3.0 and Visual COBOLScript for CGI Forms with System/370 integration for OS/2. (The "off" toggle is on our to-do list post-release.)

If it has the System/370 "Emergency Pull" handle and the warning hooter, count me in as an early adopter.

(This moose has fond warnings of that hooter - you pray that the initial "TOOT" is followed by two more, so you can relax. Bonus points if the CE had left the side door of the CPU open due to a failed fan and the shift leader has dozed off with his ear a couple of feet away from the hooter when you pressed the "Interrupt" button.[1]) 3:O)>
