@unfa yes indeed, we do not want to be the ones spreading misinformation. on the upside, I got win32 and win64 builds of audacity building already. submitted the relevant mingw fixes upstream in a PR.
Will take care of macos builds soon.
So we are ready for the worst-case scenario.

Can you imagine Audacity using Qt and Carla's custom theme?

I guess it would look a little something like this...

🧙 🚀

works on a real windows too, trying quickly in a VM with a custom theme.

btw, I did not know before, but wxwidgets supports Qt... that leads to some interesting ideas 🤔

Progress on custom Audacity build.
win64 binary building and running via Wine for quick testing (yes, cross-compiled mingw64 stuff from Linux)
Recording works, LV2 plugins are available to use, which is nice to see.
Still on the tweaking of build system. Will try win32 builds next, then macOS-universal.

@ilvipero that is fair and some are ok with it, sure.

I am personally against it, I think analytics is the first step for many bad things. What is acceptable today would be unthinkable just a few years ago. All driven by corporations and/or profits, Audacity had no tracking of any kind for its 20 year lifetime.
And anyway a network layer has no place in an offline audio editor.

@unfa tantacrul mentioned this morning that muse group is the one pushing for analytics, that it is a requirement for their products.

So a fork will take place for sure.
I began doing some tests for building audacity here, will continue more today.

Telemetry tracking coming to an audio editor near you!

Their decision is official.
(Not hot-linking to PR in question on purpose)

> We're closing this PR. We've taken on board 'no Google' and 'no Yandex' and Muse are now looking for a good alternative (thanks to those who recommended other open source solutions by the way). Please understand that this will take a little time to organize and a concrete plan will be published soon - at any rate this week.

@rghvdberg@sonomu.club better now?

the updated link is now https://peertube.kx.studio/videos/watch/83c2cfdb-012d-421d-b4fb-2dd585a6d0a5

but seeing as there is no notification for when a live stream starts, I might go to the path of using non-unique URL (which then in this case does announce it)

@falktx @rghvdberg@sonomu.club does this one work?

@rghvdberg@sonomu.club no announcement. Time to create new stream entirely

@rghvdberg@sonomu.club I think I would have to recreate the stream? I will stop the stream and start again as a test. I want the stream link to remain the same though.

@porru yeah I saw this before, doesnt it require setting up an XMPP account to use?

And well...

> This mode is not yet compatible with a Docker Peertube installation

so no-go for my current setup as it is.

and well, LiveChat could be just an iframe to some IRC room or something

@rghvdberg@sonomu.club are you able to do that? or still something I need to enable on my side?

Testing the waters for livestreaming...

Still no idea how live-comments will work.

Glad to see 'right to repair' getting some mainstream public attention.
Starting from Louis Rossmann that is pushing hard for it as much as he can, to big YouTube channels like LTT and MKBHD talking about it as well.
Leaving here some links to all those 3 videos.

PS: I know it is YouTube, not everybody likes it, but it is where most video creators and audience are at the moment.

I do not know where this comes from, someone shared it at work.
But pretty funny and informative at the same time

@rghvdberg@sonomu.club @duponin github needs a 💩 reaction for when stuff like this happens. a sad face or thumbs down is not enough to show the emotion felt when seeing something like that.
