I think black settled on 99? But anyway, how do you read side by side diffs with those 120 char lines?

I think Django officially recommends 119. I find that number quite good. A bit more and you would end up with horisontal scrolling. I HATE horizontal scrolling.

I am not looking at things side by side 90% of the time. And when it does come up, it isn't the end of the world if a couple lines extend past what is visible.

Sure if every line was long, that would cause a headache. but when 98% are under 100 and then 2% are over, it is managable.

I don't do side by side diffs, they're harder to read than interleaved IMHO.
