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

    [–] [email protected] 21 points 2 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)

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 2 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

    [–] [email protected] 23 points 2 months ago (2 children)

    The answer has got to be helix ;)

    no, it should be kakoune :P

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

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

    I’ll allow it.

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

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

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 2 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.

    [–] [email protected] 33 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

    [–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago

    And "nothing" does not fit, either.

    [–] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago

    You need a spell checker friend.

    [–] [email protected] 21 points 2 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).

    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 :)

    I don't think your spoiler tag worked.

    [–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

    Voyager Displays it correctly.

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

    Rendered for me fine on Jerboa

    Boost For Lemmy is not rendering spoiler tag

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (3 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

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

    [–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago

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

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 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.

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 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

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

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

    19 down - WinNT

    Proof

    LOL

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 2 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)

    Neither Vanilla OS nor Silverblue fit

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

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (2 children)

    I don't know 24, but 9 is:

    solution to 9 downscripting

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

    Someone else said it. I never would've gotten this myself but now that I see it it makes sense.

    24 across isGENDER

    Thank you i knew it was something of that nature

    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.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

    I got all of them but three.

    I had to google to figure out

    nuclei and eagle mode existed

    I still cannot figure out 24 across.
