Didn't Audacit fall from grace, because of privacy-issues? I mean, this was one of the reasons for the Tenacity fork.
From what I've read they reversed course on the telemetry issues and have stayed true to that, so that's nice. This overhaul might be worth a look after several years of turbulence.
AI bullshit, too.
Opt-in, at least. You got it if you want it (with an extra install and several gigs of storage use), and it takes up no extra space if you, like me, prefer not to use it.
They use it for development now.
Everyone does now
Not LibreOffice.
excactly muse is trying to get back good will by piling unreasonable amout of resource on a simple opensource audio editor before enshiification begins
They should rename the project to Audashitty.
I mean as long as the license stays open it can just be forked again, can it not? Not super knowledgeable about these things
Embrace Extend Excliensh
Embrace by buying audacity
Extend by adding so much feature that it is better then forks before the merger in everyway
Excliensh by enshiification, add ai, ads, clouds, buyable features etc
