Comment on Audacity adds AI audio editing capabilities thanks to free Intel OpenVINO plugins
EmilyIsTrans@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 months agoThis is an odd place to grand stand. I’m glad you have ideals, but the fact is Audacity was looking to gather industry standard telemetry data (basic system information and crashes) as an opt-in system. This information is extremely important in fixing bugs and prioritising developer resources.

And I could see the forest a whole lot better if all these trees weren't in the way.
It's not that one person is doing it it's that everyone is doing it.
The only way to stop everyone from doing it is to stop everyone from doing it.

It’s pretty clear from my argument that I believe that it is entirely legitimate and unproblematic for everyone to collect basic data like system information and crashes. I’m not making an exception for Audacity, I’m saying this behaviour is fine. Quit talking in riddles and engage with the point.
