Tldw

according to this person, most issues are resolved:

  • windows & macos still has telemetry that you need to opt out of

  • Linux does have any

  • privacy policy no longer has the requirement to be 13 years old and no longer says they will send stuff to law enforcement

Remaining issues:

  • contributor agreement: includes a clause that says they can repackage the application for a proprietary product, and while they say it will stay FOSS, why is that there

Forks:

  • Tenacity is the only one that's still getting updates, so if you want something else then this is the one. Original developer left after death threats from 4chan because of naming choice, and development since then has been on and off

my thoughts

I haven't really needed audio editing, but I might keep both installed. If I can't do something on Tenacity then I'll use the other one
