Has Audacity stopped their shenanigans? Or is it still a thing we should rather avoid?
Tenacity is actively maintained, and they migrated to Codeberg instead of github. Just seems better all around to stick with it and keep avoiding audacity.
How is Tenacity compared to Audacity? Are plugins implemented in tenacity, and if so, do audacity plugins work in tenacity?
I can’t say, my use case is pretty limited to cutting, noise reduction, amplify or de-amplify.
But for what I do it’s exactly what I got from audacity previously.
Oh, I thought maintenance of tenacity ended, when the original maintainer/developer got harassed and left.

It was taken on by another maintainer in 2022.

Afaik they stopped immediately after the backlash.
No they tried it again later.
What shenanigans? What have they been doing?
It was taken over buy something called “Muse group”.
They added telemetry, which is actually illegal in EU, unless you warn about it, and then it can only be used if you are over 18.
I think that also makes it against to GPL license.
Then they pulled back, but later tried to do it partially or something I don’t recall.
Clearly Muse Group was a bad fit for a GPL open source project.

Edit PS:
From their homepage:
https://www.audacityteam.org/
I can see that the audacious project remain under Muse Group control. I would look for something else.
Muse group changed the contributor license to take control away from the community, and give it only to themselves.

The ONLY reason to do this, is if you plan to use the code in a non GPL compliant context.
I think it depends on which version you install. I install it from my distro’s software manager.
