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!

These rules are subject to change at any time with or without prior notice. (last updated: 7th December 2023 - Introduction of Rule 11 with one sub-rule prohibiting posting of AI content)

  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.

  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)

That open document clearly tells you how to fix it.

You just can't read it because

your eyes are in the way.

"You can't read it because your eyes are in the way" is the kinda shit deltarune would say in a dialogue box and then go back to normal like nothing happened

You underestimate my acquired CAPTCHA skills:

This is a common thing with thinkpads. Press the clit mouse too hard and too fast and the computer orgasms

[–] Keilik@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

At least you have a really neat background for your new ThinkPad, should the exorcism on your current one fail.

In times of ram shortage even the blood god has to get creative to get his compute.

Looks like you’ve got a daemon in your deck, choom.

Ahhh I see Ubuntu Satanic Edition got updated

That compromises your entire system, by the way.

It's only the .bashrc file, so if ~/ is 700 this would have practically no effect

[–] mech@feddit.org 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

It's only the .bashrc file

Someone can edit it and put in

 alias sudo = "sudo rm -rf / --no-preserve-root"  

(Or any other malicious sudo command)
Now your system is fucked next time you log in and try any sudo command.

[–] Ziglin@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

If they already are logged in as root or you in which case they could already do that.

700 permission gives read write and execute permissions only to the owner. 'Execute' in the case of a directory being access and access to subdirectories.

You could also alias sudo instead then.
