Welcome to /c/SoftwareGore!


This is a community where you can poke fun at nasty software. This community is your go-to destination to look at the most cringe-worthy and facepalm-inducing moments of software gone wrong. Whether it's a user interface that defies all logic, a crash that leaves you in disbelief, silly bugs or glitches that make you go crazy, or an error message that feels like it was written by an unpaid intern, this is the place to see them all!

Remember to read the rules before you make a post or comment!

  3. Only post content that's appropriate to this community. Inappropriate posts will be removed.
  4. NSFW content of any kind is not allowed in this community.
  5. Do not create duplicate posts or comments. Such duplicated content will be removed. This also includes spamming.
  6. Do not repost media that has already been posted in the last 30 days. Such reposts will be deleted. Non-original content and reposts from external websites are allowed.
  7. Absolutely no discussion regarding politics are allowed. There are plenty of other places to voice your opinions, but fights regarding your political opinion is the last thing needed in this community.

  10. At last, use common sense. If you think you shouldn't say something to a person in real life, then don't say it here.
  11. Community specific rules:
    • Posts that contain any AI-related content as the main focus (for example: AI “hallucinations”, repeated words or phrases, different than expected responses, etc.) will be removed. (polled)

It's so slow that I had time to take my phone out and take this video after I typed all the letters. How is this even possible?

483749 minutes by my math, or just under a year.

(the gory part is that the source drive is only 256GB with 10% used)

FYI: This is a software called Uptime Kuma. The green dots are supposed to turn red of the service is offline.

At this point I'm convinced that Facebook actively hates its mobile site.

This was a Lenovo. Now I'm wondering if Windows or Linux has a better BIOS.

Hello there.

A sizeable portion of the community members, from the beginning, have always expressed a disinterest whenever posts related to AI generated content from the likes of ChatGPT or Bing AI are posted here. Therefore, this post is here to let the community members decide whether such AI-related posts (including text, image or video AI) should be prohibited or not. Several low-effort AI posts have been submitted to this community before, but some are also good. The final decision lies with you.

Here's the link: https://strawpoll.com/mpnboQ69Lg5

The poll ends in 3 days or 72 hours from the time of making this post.

This thread doesn't only concern this single decision. I'm also looking for feedback on whether if other things should also be changed in this community. I'd love to hear your thoughts. This is my first experience moderating a community like this, so I may not be the most bright-minded. Make this basically a community feedback thread.

UPDATE: 70% of the community members have voted in favour for the prohibition of AI-related posts. Therefore, posts that contain any AI-related content as the main focus (for example: AI "hallucinations", repeated words or phrases, different than expected responses, etc.) will be removed.
