@sergiotarxz Well… biggest reason I do not believe the many eyes argument is how frequently software shipped as libre has easily recognisable binaries (like ELF files or a .exe) without the recipes and sometimes even without the source code.

Like Debian has so many that https://udd.debian.org/lintian-tag/source-contains-prebuilt-binary?affected=yes ends up saying "Output limited to the first 5000 results."

@SuperDicq @phnt And those are very real advantages, so is also the one of being able to send a patch upstream when you've found a bug, specially when it's one of your dependencies (sometimes going all the way to standard libraries…).

@SuperDicq Yeah, I'm not going against the other advantages.

And there's real funny ones like xz-utils backdoor being in most distros while it wasn't in the Source Code.

@SuperDicq "Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow."

This specific bullshit.

@SuperDicq My post isn't about that but about the justification that libre/open-source is better because people are auditing code, you know the "many eyes" thing.

The massive disconnection between "Libre/Open-Source means everyone reading the code" brainworm from ESR (and I feel like FSF too) and the fact that essentially no one reads others code unless they have another reason for it like bugfixing something they care enough about to address.

@novenary Also wasn't linked in the article but that's ACR: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_content_recognition

  Automatic content recognition
  
  Automatic content recognition (ACR) is a technology used to identify content played on a media device or presented within a media file. Devices with ACR can allow for the collection of content consumption information automatically at the screen or speaker level itself, without any user-based input or search efforts. This information may be collected for purposes such as personalized advertising, content recommendations, or sale to companies that aggregate customer data. How it works To start the process, a short media clip (audio, video, or both) is selected from within a media file or captured as displayed on a device such as a smart TV. Using techniques such as fingerprinting and watermarking, the selected content is compared by the ACR software with a database of known recorded works. If the fingerprint of the media clip finds a match, the ACR software returns the corresponding metadata regarding the media as well as other associated or recommended content back to the client application for display to the user, or for collection by the device manufacturer or a company that collects user data. ...

@novenary Looking at https://arxiv.org/html/2409.06203v1 it seems more like fingerprints are sent rather than full blown screenshots.

Although there's enough traffic to correspond to a FullHD screenshot every ~15s

@zacchiro @liw After all they were supposed to be pages, not whole pamphlets or even books (man -Tpdf bash yields 128 pages here).

@cell @kaia Also it reminds me that my bank is like: Other countries can send/withdraw via SEPA but you can't.
(Unless you use their phone malware I guess but I'm never doing that)

And it's probably the second time I wonder if there's like research in terms of web final designs on a somewhat large scale (say at least top 20 of most used local websites in a bunch of different countries).

Sometimes I feel like Japanese corporate websites are almost refreshing in terms of design compared to their european (or worse american) direct equivalents.
But basically just because they aren't the equivalent of a salesman on crack.
