Both of them:

Program: crashes

weirdoldlib.so.13: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Googles wierdoldlib.so.13

Comes across forum post:

"Hey guys, I'm trying to run this ancient-ass game, and Linux says I need this thing apparently?"

"Update: never mind, I fixed it."

A wave of rage crashed over me at that last line. WHYYYY do they always do that?

Or they leave a link to the solution.

The link is dead.

And is not on archive.org either.

There should be an app that every time you copy a link to the clipboard it sends a request to archive.org to archive that url.

Sounds like a security nightmare but it could work in certain cases (like just yesterday I was sharing a google drive link, I probably don't want that to be archived)

I always thought one day stack overflow would join April fool's and display variations of "never mind, found it" on every question instead of the users' response, but it never happened and now that the site is no longer generally relevant if wouldn't be as fun anymore.

Why is stack overflow no longer relevant?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

Isn't it dying? I haven't seen any numbers tbh, it just feels like it is.
