There are already two altered forks of Audacity on Github: Tenacity and Sneedacity. The latter also has a Windows 64-bit version, unlike the actual Audacity. I’ve tried it and it’s pretty good!

I’m cool with all the changes, but considering I’m using audacity since I was 11 makes it hard. It was a beautiful piece of software for newbies back then, and it won’t be for other young people trying out audio editing today, which is sad.

i understand the integrity that comes with open source, but jeez people are going way too crazy over this

It’s hilarious. people are braindead. And the so-called “discussions” around it are all the same way, building up a suspicion, putting some WOOHOOOHOOO scary I’m s******* my pants. I bet 99% of these upfront bozos using smartphones and tablets not giving a s*** about what these units collect on a daily basis. this is more a case of generation thin-skinned n touchy than it is one of fighting against the real s***.

In reply to MRG.

“…I doubt they would have even covered the story if the main office wasn’t in Russia.”

There’s a valid reason for that distrust though.
