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!

This search should obviously return the official Docker Hub Redis image, https://hub.docker.com/_/redis, but it's just a bunch of blogs.

On DuckDuckGo the first result is the Docker Hub image, which is what everyone would want.

I was searching for a scripting language to embed into an application, then I got popular programming language comparisons, most of which hailed the functional programming paradigm, which is very bad for games.

That's why I made my default Chrome search engine duckduckgo

Have to say I'm a bit surprised by all the replies that are completely fine with all the results being SEO ridden blogs instead of something useful, for example have you tried searching for a recipe in the last year, 1000 word blog and then the recipe as an extra.

I think most people are just used to Google, I used to be several years ago before moving to DDG.

Now I find Google is way too... "tutorially" and "bloggy" with results, and actually slows down my workflow a lot when I'm looking for a specific thing immediately - usually a bit of scrolling to get what I'm looking for.

DDG (for my use case as a casual search engine, and something to search docs for work) gets you to whatever you want with a much, much shorter and concise query, and pretty much always gets it right each time as the first result
