  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.

    They could possibly mean neovim. They appear to have spelled it wrong, though.

    [–] neidu2@feddit.nl 21 points 10 months ago (2 children)

    vim was a mistake. Go back to vi.
    ...but modernizing it is still a good idea, so I present to you: neovi

    (No, I'm not serious)

    [–] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 5 points 10 months ago

    nvi is a thing

    does not fit though

    luckily we vim fanatics do not have to worry, through the power of wordle solver, we can use exits instead lol

    1. Better than vim

    I’m done here, this crossword is bullshit

    [–] hollyberries@programming.dev 23 points 10 months ago (2 children)

    The answer has got to be helix ;)

    [–] NegativeLookBehind@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago

    [–] CheesyFox@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 10 months ago

    no, it should be kakoune :P

    [–] happy_saw@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

    I don't think about neovim being separate to vim, sorry.

    [–] NegativeLookBehind@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

    I’ll allow it.

    [–] hallettj@leminal.space 3 points 10 months ago

    It seems like only one side of the ancient rivalry is represented in the comments here. No worries, I'm right there with you.

    [–] ichthys@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

    I was expecting a 'better than emacs' clue to go along with this one.

    [–] lemmyng@lemmy.ca 33 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    I think there's a mistake, I can't fit "neovim" into 8 across.

    [–] waigl@lemmy.world 14 points 10 months ago

    And "nothing" does not fit, either.

    [–] PixelAlchemist@lemmy.world 22 points 10 months ago

    You need a spell checker friend.

    [–] Bolt@lemmy.world 21 points 10 months ago (2 children)

    Pretty confident in my solve. The only ones I didn't get myself were 20-down, 29-down (obvious in retrospect), and 21-across (inferred the word, but didn't know the tool).

    I don't think your spoiler tag worked.

    [–] Tartas1995@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 10 months ago

    Voyager Displays it correctly.

    [–] JustARegularNerd@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    Rendered for me fine on Jerboa

    Boost For Lemmy is not rendering spoiler tag

    [–] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    Are you using Sync? It never got the memo that Lemmy spoiler tags don't work the same way as Reddit ones and famously displays them improperly

    [–] iz_ok@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago (2 children)

    I am using Sync. Any suggestions on a better alternative?

    [–] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 2 points 10 months ago

    The official app (maintained by the Lemmy developers) is Jerboa, which is what I've been using. It works well enough, although it always pays to shop around, install a bunch of different clients and see which you like best. Sync, to my knowledge, is the only client, for mobile or web, that renders spoilers in that broken way.

    You can imagine my face reading the response of 15 lol I thought it was going to be a specific program hahaha I had a lot of fun with it and there were just a few I missed so I would love to see more like these in the future :)

    [–] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago

    I wonder if anyone ever made a crossword that also works as a QR code

    [–] nossaquesapao@lemmy.eco.br 13 points 10 months ago

    Today I learned that gnome has a crossword maker. Now I need to play with it too!

    [–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 7 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (4 children)

    So... Anybody smarter than me know that 24 across is. I thought something like showering/bathing because supposedly people don't like to shower/cleanup as cons but neither seem to fit. Then I thought friends but that doesn't make sense either. So I got nothing.

    Edit: Remove the ING from showering and it fits. Gotta check the connected ones to see if it works, though, assuming I get those right.

    Edit Edit: I absolutely hate the "Best WM (Wayland) one because that is too subjective to be able to be answered correctly, if you ask me.

    [–] cetvrti_magi@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

    Best WM (Wayland) shoud be Hyprland, it's exact length and fits with 18 and 32.

    [–] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

    I get G _ N _ _ R there.

    I'm not 100% confident about the G but the other two I'm positive of. It's not SHOWER but I have no idea what it is

    19 down - WinNT

    Proof

    LOL

    [–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 5 points 10 months ago

    why are there so many List Files... ? Also 31 doesn't fit.

    All those Distro Questions (29, 18, 27) are missing 2 spaces (OS is part of their name)

    [–] RacoonVegetable@reddthat.com 4 points 10 months ago (4 children)

    Neither Vanilla OS nor Silverblue fit

    Confused man it sounds

    [–] NeatNit@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 10 months ago

    Nice. I solved 22 (with 2 of them being unsure), there's 12 I don't know. I can only assume the multiple listings of 'List files in current directory' is a deliberate joke because you use it so much, but somehow it doesn't feel right.

    You should find a website to share it where people can play it interactively! I'm sure such websites are out there, it's too obvious.

    [–] drew_belloc@programming.dev 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    I have no idea what 9 and 24 are, and at this point i don't know if i care anymore

    [–] NeatNit@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 10 months ago (3 children)

    I don't know 24, but 9 is:

    solution to 9 downscripting
