Did they ever fix that issue from a while back where they started collecting personal data on users?

There was a Lemmy post with a video about how things have changed, which I even commented on, but I can’t find anymore.
What I remember was that yes they did address most of the concerns. There were some issues still (unrelated to data collection iirc), and there’s one other fork that’s being maintained if you don’t want that
Edit: I think the was the video, I don’t want to watch it again but I’ll link my TLDW if I find it: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QfmDn1IaDmY
That is the real question. Would like to recommend the program to people again.
Tenacity is a fork designed to address those concerns, and it is mostly beyond fork growing pains at this point
Growing pains?
Tearing branding and telemetry and build deployment stuff and crap out of forked software is a lot of work that takes some time
I see. Makes sense now.
Oh very cool. Thanks a lot.
The oss community forked it into ’ tenacity’ after audacity went into spyware mode
IKR. Why are we even covering news about audacity releases anymore?
Wait what information does audacity collect when your using it?
please use Tenacity
Is there a fork of MuseScore too (the same devs, I think)?
I am not sure, would you post the repo for me, please?
nice :)

I’m still using 2.3.3 as 3.3.3 won’t save project files on Google Drive. As a radio station, that’s kinda important for creating sponsor messages etc.
Will check out Tenacity.
Couldn’t you just setup a local folder with syncing to drive enabled, and then save to that folder?
