  • 00:00:00 In this section, the speaker discusses the controversial changes that occurred after Audacity was acquired by Muse Group. These changes included the introduction of Telemetry, which raised concerns among the free and open-source software community. However, the speaker reassures viewers that the current privacy policy only includes minimal Telemetry such as update checking and error reporting, which can be easily disabled. Additionally, Audacity no longer sends data to Google and Yandex for analytics and has removed the clause about sharing data with law enforcement. Overall, the speaker concludes that there is no need to worry about Audacity being spyware and that the software is safe to use. 00:05:00 In this section, it is mentioned that the pushback from the community against the planned changes for Audacity has had an effect, with certain changes, such as telemetry, being scrapped. However, one concern that remains is the Contributor License Agreement (CLA), which requires anyone contributing code to Audacity to sign a legal document. While the Muse Group, the new owner of Audacity, has stated that it will keep Audacity free and open source, the CLA gives them the power to potentially repackage the code as a proprietary application in the future. Despite this, for end users, there may not be much cause for worry. The section also highlights some improvements made to Audacity since the acquisition, including the ability to drag elements with the mouse, non-destructive editing, support for VST3 plugins, and a few interface changes. Additionally, while there have been several forks of Audacity, most of them are no longer active, with Tenacity being one of the few that is still actively updated. 00:10:00 In this section, the speaker discusses the current state of Audacity and its forks, specifically Tenacity. Tenacity has had a turbulent development history, with the original maintainer stepping down due to receiving death threats. The previous maintainer of Sawstacity is now in charge of Tenacity, which is considered to be the most prominent fork. However, Tenacity is still in beta and may contain bugs and possible data loss, so the speaker does not recommend using it full-time. Additionally, Tenacity is lacking some of the new features that have been added to Audacity. In conclusion, the speaker suggests sticking with Audacity as it is currently in good hands and is a reliable choice for audio editing

    but an electric car is heavier than a hydrogen car, so the electric platform is less efficient. imagine carrying an extra ton of a batterypack wherever u go. hydrogen could be made from renewable energy, and doesn’t require batteries to be stored. battery metals are finite. u can’t scale that up. 5kg of H2 translates to 400km mileage.

    just an assumption ( also u guys need to be open for some critique, facking hell! ) but also why his pricing is way more than he used to charge for sync for reddit ? said he would work on the app ‘full time’: what does that even mean ? would he quit his day job for the app ? would such an app require full time maintenance ? also pricing more than he used to do without sparing any thought for the instance admins kinda fishy: i know that lemmy code is beyond his reach but placing ads on feed is like taking instance owners for fools and shidding on them, at least while pricing leave some room for people so they can donate to instances until something serious is done about it…and please grow some brain cells before responding to this:and no, devs dont need to sync up app release.

  • personally it is kinda superior to Jerboa, since it has a feature that is my favourite: keyword filter, but also i can browse instances that can be defederated from each other, all the fediverse in one app: could even browse hexbear.net (which is not federated with anyone yet), kbin.social, …all on the app (and can browse instances as a guest without an account, which makes things way eaiser. unlimited block list. no bugs. it was suggested to me and i keep suggesting it for others since i didnt regret using it.
