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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks 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.

Thanks for this, it actually was a lot of fun to try and complete it! 😀

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.

Boost For Lemmy is not rendering spoiler tag

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 weeks 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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

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

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

Try Thunder.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks 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.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 weeks ago

Voyager Displays it correctly.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 weeks ago

Rendered for me fine on Jerboa

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.

Someone else said it.

24 across isGENDER

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago

I must have missed that comment.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks 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 4 weeks ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month 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.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 month ago

You need a spell checker friend.

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

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 1 month ago (2 children)

I don't know 24, but 9 is:

Thank you, now i feel a bit dumb but i can rest in peace

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago

Thank you i knew it was something of that nature

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

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