It's also pretty poor quality data. Open-source journalists use it alot and make erroneous claims.

Ryan MacBeth tried to do this to show a person hadn't left the US, when a third-party had actually recorded them in Palestine.

This whole thread seems to be unaware about Debian.... so I'll give an actual answer.

Debian only actually updates their software packages every 2 years, this is for stability purposes. However you still need to fix some severe bugs so about every 2-3 months Debian does point releases that are only updating for security fixes. This is one of them.

When Debian 14 actually releases it will upgrade nearly all of the packages that are in your base system.

Chatgpt just cribs from stack overflow, which in turn just cribs their answers from documentation. Once you figure that out, they both become surprisingly useless.

Maybe to match against the passport photos. Some people travel with other similar-looking people's IDs, and it can be missed by inspectors. So having an current photo of the traveler can be used in post-hoc investigations to determine if they did so.

The bizarre thing is that they are only analysing something like 40 programs/library. You could reach the same conclusion clicking through their gitlab for a few minutes.

The translation rate is the actually interesting part.

"Game dev... Just force Rust into it"

What's wrong with Rust for game dev? It seems similar to C++, and C# which are the dominant languages.

I can see arguments that the current projects have poor approaches, but not that the language itself is ill-suited.

I've used ffmpeg to compose a whole video from screen recordings. The big advantage is that it works well on weaker hardware that can't run full blown video editors.

I think you are completely missing the point. Packages distributed by Debian are less likely to be insecure because Debian policy requires reviewing all source code to make sure it meets interoperability and open-source standards.

Regardless of how frequently this is actually done, if it's done at all is a point in favor of using Debian distribution. The fact that Debian has introduced errors themselves in a few cases is irrelevant, any developer can do that and crates.io is full of them with not even an attempt at additional review.

You need to balance whether or not the distributor is fixing or introducing more bugs, and in the case of Debian it seems to be overwhelmingly the former.

Your argument that crates.io is a known organization therefore we should trust the packages distributed is undermined by your acknowledgement that crates.io does not produce any code. Instead we are relying on the individual crate developers, who can be as anonymous as they want.

Debían developer is a specific position that you apply for. Anyone can be a maintainer. Well, I had to get approved but I don't know the qualifications, I already had code in Debían vía GNOME.

I would look at stylometric analysis rather than just matching for certain phrases.
