By releasing version 3.0.3 RC1, Audacity digital audio editor finally adds official Linux binary support!
It’s the 64-bit Appimage package that runs in most Linux Distributions. Without installing, it’s a single executable that launches the software via double-click.
According to the Privacy Notice, Audacity may COLLECT personal data necessary for law enforcement, litigation and authorities. And it dissuade those under 13 years old from using the App.
It is incompatible with the GPL license. Use it at your own risk!

- switch to 64-bit Windows binary, and drop Windows XP support.

I stopped using Audacity as soon as I heard of this abuse, my privacy is not for sale, you would think the police and secret agencies would have enough to do putting innocent people in prison for hate speech, of coughing while driving, still I guess it will give them something else to corrupt.
