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

This is news to me, thank you

Welcome! If you want to read about it here you can, they supposedly backpedaled and "it's not that bad" but there is zero trust in those private owners.

I remember reading some articles saying that they backtracked.

I can't judge how careful the people saying "Audacity is evil" are regarding privacy. I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just interested in your thoughts.

MuseScore is owned by the same company, Firefox is worse (as the article mentions)... Do you not use either of these? Do you use one of these but not Audacity? If the second one applies to someone, what would be the reason? As a matter of principle? Something else?

(I mean, I don't know of a FOSS alternative to MuseScore.)
