Oh look, it's another genius idea: deliberately inject bugs 🐞 and cross your fingers that your tests just, you know, magically catch them. Because who needs stable code when you can have a zombie apocalypse of software errors? 🧟‍♂️🔧

Mashable: An iOS 18.4 bug seems to be resurrecting zombie apps for some users . “If old, long-deleted apps are showing up on your iPhone after you’ve upgraded to iOS 18.4, you’re not alone. Several reports on Reddit, as well as on Apple’s Community hub, talk about apps being installed on user’s iPhones after the update.

Pew Research Center: How a glitch in an online survey replaced the word ‘yes’ with ‘forks’. “Dating back to at least early 2023, a bizarre and alarming technical glitch – and yes, a hilarious one – started popping up in some organizations’ online surveys and forms, including our 2024 survey. A few Reddit users shared screenshots from a variety of surveys, where questions that […]

VentureBeat: AI can fix bugs—but can’t find them: OpenAI’s study highlights limits of LLMs in software engineering. “In a new paper, OpenAI researchers detail how they developed an LLM benchmark called SWE-Lancer to test how much foundation models can earn from real-life freelance software engineering tasks. The test found that, while the models can solve bugs, they can’t see why the […]

I don’t know if anyone else gets giddy about this, but I do.

After contacting @panic support about a bug, they said they confirmed and would fix it. Next release, I see my bug in the release notes.

It’s pretty cool to see that kind of response. And to see my specific issue on the list.

A list of notes beneath the title ‘fixed.’ One of the items is highlighted, denoting it was mine.

Outstanding Google Calendar "bug": when moving a meeting from 1 PM a day this week to 1 PM a day next week, it get set up for noon instead! Crossing the daylight savings barrier warps reality.

Irony is when you have a game about bugs (🐜), but it has too many bugs (👾) in the game. :blobfoxgooglymlem:

1/6 🐞 Microsoft may not fix every bug. Not all bugs are urgent, and some issues may not be bugs at all! Priorities, complexity, and resource limits often determine whether a bug gets addressed. #SoftwareBugs #TechExplained

Did you know, the clock app on #Android can have negative #timer? #Time is sooo relative! 🙃🙃 #weirdbugs #Software #softwarethings #softwarebugs #bugs #CalyxOS #AOSP

Berlimey! If a single bug can bring down the entire capitalist ediface in one go who needs #ClimateChange?

This one is being mentioned even on Sky Sports News as I write. It must be mega!

(Note: I have just spent 30 years teaching systems and software developers methods that stop this kind of thing happening. It's not really the developers' fault. The main problem is that the management won't let them do what needs to be done to prevent these problems. Why? Too much time and effort getting it right first time impacts their bottom line. Cheaper and easier to let the bug happen and simply respond to user bug reports!)

For the last few months, #Windows has been in a thorn in my side. Making using my #PC difficult with #softwarebugs. So I tried out #linux before selling my kidney to get a #macmini.

It worked a lot better than I thought it would, as I explain in our newest video: https://youtu.be/p3TZjqwwIu0

#Artificialintelligence models similar to #ChatGPT are able to identify errors in #computercode, letting people claim rewards for finding them - but others are using the same tools to report #bugs that don't actually exist

I love software bug. My Ubuntu system has an extended security maintenance until year 99 (either 25 years ago or 75 years in the future 😀 ).

draft - In google docs for Android, when we tap this area where it says "untitled document", it's supposed to auto-populate with the first sentence of what we type. However, that doesn't seem to be currently working... Anyone else having this issue ?
