@ryo The forks eventually go to shit as well, or die. Everything has been moving in the direction of being dependent on the corporateware. Sneedacity looks dead. I personally used Tenacity, and that has been abandoned too and doesn't work anymore, because these systems are all for updooters. Audacium is also dead.

"Free" software is dead in general. It's in an endless cycle of corporations taking over and ruining everything and idiots making excuses for it, and there is not enough will and enough competence to go around, to actually make replacements for it, that will of course just get taken over by corporations again.

The amount of resistance to it is tiny. The "free software" people just make excuses for it. The FSF and the GNU project are perfectly fine with telemetry and spyware as long as it's GPL. They are perfectly fine with corporations taking all of their shit as long as it has the "right" loycense, and they don't mind dependencies that give corporations more control.
