    What? You must be joking. Really? The entire thing was about opt-in error reporting?

    … seriously, that can’t be it, can it?

      Not really that simple, it was an apparent change to the privacy policy that vaguely anticipated collection of arbitrary user data, which shook the confidence of the open source community on the project. The fact this happened right after audacity was sold was the cherry on top.

      Changes were eventually reverted or revised.

      yep… really just that…

      i’ve used it forever with a very restrictive firewall and i’ve never seen it do anything unexpected… or any phoning home at all…

        If opt-in telemetry is spyware then the FOSS community truly is off the rails.

        I’ve read this exact or very similar comment from you for the fourth time at least. You’re a spambot as far as I’m concerned.
