r/technope

This is our new sister subreddit that can be a lovely, heartwarming home for any general tech errors, that we might consider smaller problems not worthy of their "gore" label or are frequently posted on this subreddit.

Thanks for the community feedback on this issue. We wouldn't be making this announcement without your helpful responses.

You'll now have somewhere to post:

This replaces the monthly YouTube/Reddit megathread and is a home for technology gore, website disasters, and other tech fails that we can mock.

Reminder that we also have r/hardwaregore for any hardware errors.

Any questions, feel free to post a comment below or send us a modmail

What is Software Gore?

Software gore is when software acts outside its parameters and malfunctions unpredictable. Software gore cannot be intentional, and it must not be a fault of the design (crappy design).

What isn't software gore:

  • Asshole design - deliberately bad software (not software gore)

  • Crappy design - Issues caused by poor design (not software gore)

Before Posting:

  1. Is the issue here to do with design?

  2. Is the issue intentional?

  3. Does the actual issue tell you what's wrong?

  4. Is the issue caused by something other than software?

If the answer on all those questions is no, congratulations you probably got software gore!
