>sneedacity
sounds more like Any Forums in a nutshell.

What happened?

I guess they realized everybody's still on 2.4 idk

Where's your totally alive open source project? You aren't allowed to criticize unless you can do better.

>forks of fully GPL'd project die
Imagine my fucking shock. This never ever happened (EGCS) in all of open-source (eglibc) history.

>as expected, all "freedom loving" forks dead within weeks
Exactly. See >b-b-b-b-b simply fork it
Where is your Audacity fork ?

Daily reminder this will not happen if you install old audacity from old installers.

Daily reminder that linux (and windows) need a reverse fire wall that BLOCK applications form talking to the internet like Ashampo Fire wall.
solves this cancer forever.

>b-b-b-b-b simply fork it
Where is your Audacity fork ?

What do you expect from developers without funding? For 0 money all you have is mostly teenagers and failures

>sneedacity
STILL ALIVE

some drama about telemetry lead to some people making a fork
but surprisingly developing a fork or anything for that matter requires developers, not project managers

>she can't compile from source

Based and sneed op doesn’t know what he is talking about

Tenacity is a decent fork and it seems to be doing OK.

> You can search the internet for programs on Windows but not on Linux!
You can still search the web for a program, and you can also use apt search to try to find something within your repositories. Your package repo also has a webpage you can use to search for stuff too, and if it's not enough, you can contribute back by becoming the package maintainer of a program you like.

> You always need an internet connection to fetch a package from the repos
You always need an internet connection to download the installer from a provider.

> You can save your installers for later without them connecting to the internet!
You can do the same with packages, at least with Debian packages. Just download the package you want and all of it's dependencies without installing it, and plunk the .Deb files on a USB drive or in a folder or wherever, and voila, it's yours, simple as.

> If the US government decides to block some application, you are fucked
And this is a problem exclusive to Linux how? They could take down the websites hosting the binaries and installers, they can take down the servers hosting the source code. Like I said, you can archive the .Deb files or the source itself.

> Fast moving projects like Blender give you the Flatpaks
Actually, they just gave me a zipped folder with the executable and a few required libraries. Worked perfectly. You can use rough solutions like this too if you're OK with populating your drive with the occasional copy or two of a library, which Windows totally is.

>You always need an internet connection to download the installer from a provider.
Yes and no.
Back in the day installers came from CDs and other people. And if you have the installers downloaded ONCE you do not need to redownlaod them and can use the local installer forever.

>You can do the same with packages, at least with Debian packages.
NO you fucken can not ! And I tried. Did you ?
It can not resolve problems.

>b-b-b-b-
Look retard the installation will drop in like 25 new packages where 24 are CMD shit that you will never use. Now you need to know the magic order in with to install these .DEBs.

>just download the package you want and all of it's dependencies without installing it, and plunk
You still need to know the order of installation.

>just download the package you want and all of it's dependencies without installing it, and plunk
Still takes shit loads of time VS having like the OS DVD and max 3 service packs and then select whatever desktop application you like to install.

You probobly can do however this wasts time on is problematic on linux.

>System updates itself
>90 new packages installed
>You figure out their order of installation by hand.

>Actually, they just gave me a zipped folder with the executable and a few required libraries.
OK. Is it not what a flatpack is ?
>orked perfectly. You can use rough solutions like this too if you're OK with populating your drive with the occasional copy or two of a library, which Windows totally is.
And there literally is nothing wrong with that.

I take this over literally slavery of the repos.

>And this is a problem exclusive to Linux how?
It is a problem exclusive to REPOSITORIES.
>They could take down the websites hosting the binaries and installers,
YES and they did often.

The most fun part is that on WIDNWOS if I have the installers I can reinstall the program. Something you retard zoomer brain can not understand they literally can not remove MY INSTALLER I ALREADY DOWNLOADED.

I now of examples of basically purged programs that I have one of them is macromedia flash 8 something adobe loves to purge from the internet.

>They could take down the websites hosting the binaries and installers,
Only you an quickly repose it if someone asks for example on Any Forums.

So true; that's why they sold their website to me for 2 dollars.

Any Forums ignored firejail

Does it even matter if the old version still works fine? I mean, this isn't like some program that you need constant updates for.
