| sakrecoer[bpist] | is ubuntu studio going to continue to ship audacity? | 06:45 |
|---|---|---|
| oerheks | sakrecoer[bpist], seems so https://packages.ubuntu.com/impish/ubuntustudio-audio | 09:19 |
| oerheks | not the newest maybe, but there is an updated snap https://snapcraft.io/audacity | 09:20 |
| sakrecoer[bpist] | thanks oerheks ! | 09:23 |
| sakrecoer[bpist] | i guess i'm fine with removing it manually | 09:23 |
| sakrecoer[bpist] | really baffled about their new privacy policy. pretty radio active stuff | 09:23 |
| sakrecoer[bpist] | https://www.audacityteam.org/about/desktop-privacy-notice/ | 09:24 |
| oerheks | interesting read, they do not collect personal stuff.. | 09:29 |
| oerheks | still there is no opt-in/out. | 09:29 |
| oerheks | bleh, calling it 'spyware' is too much https://fosspost.org/audacity-is-now-a-spyware/ | 10:19 |
| wonko | Calling it spyware is overactive bull. I hate FOSS people sometimes. | 12:13 |
| sakrecoer[bpist] | sure! but...after reading a few of the issues on their github i'd certainly classify it as Shady AF! | 12:47 |
| sakrecoer[bpist] | we'll see how long ubuntu will be able to put down the work now required to package it anways: https://github.com/audacity/audacity/issues/625 | 12:50 |
| ubottu | Issue 625 in audacity/audacity "custom wxwidgets fork prevents building a stable package for Linux" [Open] | 12:50 |
| wonko | dammit, back to jack randomly dying. | 15:05 |
| Eickmeyer | sakrecoer[bpist]: Audacity is auto-synced from Debian, and you know full well Debian is going to patch the living hell out of it to make sure it doesn't have the telemetry (dfsg and all). | 15:41 |
| oerheks | Eickmeyer, i surely hope so! | 15:44 |
| sakrecoer[bpist] | goid point Eickmeyer . given they keep packaging it. that shitstorm unearthed a lot of... ehm... crap. like that 6 years old security vulnerability with a pending PR that none of the maintainers seems to bother about | 15:47 |
| sakrecoer[bpist] | i know 2 journalists who used it that tell me they are no longer feeling comfortable to. personally i've never had any use for it, and i'm fine with removing it manually :) | 15:52 |
| Eickmeyer | sakrecoer[bpist]: language, keep it clean.... IRC guidelines and all... | 16:04 |
| krytarik | I believe "shitstorm" is a proper term by now though.. :P | 16:06 |
| Eickmeyer | I mean, you're not wrong. | 16:07 |
| sakrecoer[bpist] | oh, okay... didn't realize any of those words were braking CoC, but i'll keep it in mind | 16:08 |
| Eickmeyer | !language | 16:08 |
| ubottu | Please avoid any language that may be considered offensive, including acronyms and obfuscation of such - also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines || The main channels are English only, for other languages, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList | 16:08 |
| Eickmeyer | That basically spells it out. | 16:09 |
| sakrecoer[bpist] | no it doesn't but whatever. | 16:09 |
| Eickmeyer | Don't worry too much about it. :) | 16:10 |
| Eickmeyer | oerheks: dfsg = Debian Free Software Guidelines, in case you didn't know. | 16:11 |
| sakrecoer[bpist] | no worries :) | 16:13 |
| wonko | I don't know what I changed but now jack refuses to start at 16/3 or 32/3 and will only start 64/3 | 22:09 |
