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)


  1. This community is a part of the Lemmy.world instance. You must follow its Code of Conduct (https://mastodon.world/about).
  2. Please keep all discussions in English. This makes communication and moderation much easier.
  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)

Well, that's some sloppy programming. All they had to do was change the input to "Enter your birth timestamp in UNIX time."

I know you don't have a lot to do during the actor's strike, Leonardo, but slumming it with us on Lemmy? Really?

What gets me is not only the error, could be an easy mistake depending on basic implementation, but someone had to type out that error message.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 11 months ago (1 children)

nah. could be constructed error message based on the name of the property.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Yeah, could easily be "User with this ID already exists" if it wasn't tagged as "age".

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago

Try again next year.

You do realize that you don't need to cross-post anything, as it's already perfectly readable, don't you? (see: here)
