reminder that Audacity has been bought out by an investor and now has mandatory data collection and privacy violations and cannot be trusted. Delete it and use Tenacity audio, a FOSS fork

According to the arch wiki: Audacity #Tenacity_fork

In May 2021, after the project was acquired by Muse Group there was a draft proposal to add opt-in telemetry to the code to record application usage. As an alternative tenacity was forked by a group of volunteers as open-source software.

Doesn't sound like they actually went through with it?

They did not. I use Audacity regularly on more than one platform. It collects no data from me. It also hasn't received an update in years, but still does exactly what it needs to do, and does it well.

That said, I hadn't heard of Tenacity until this thread, and it looks like I shall be migrating over to that anyway. Better safe than sorry.

Wherever you've been using it from likely hasn't been official then because Audacity got it's most recent update 3 days ago. Muse group is still working on it but I don't trust them.

Hmm. You are correct. On both my Windows and Linux machines, I am on Audacity 2.4.2. I've been using it for years, now. I never changed my sources, and it never stopped working. Haha!

And honestly, that's perfectly OK! There's nothing wrong with those older releases, they just might not quite have the same later feature sets but 90% of people don't even need those.

Yeah, and I tried Tenacity, and it doesn't want to work at all. Guess I'm sticking with old Audacity.
