(from https://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Sidewalk/b?node=21328123011)

“remind me later” just means “i do not respect your choices”

reject software that does this

Remember that recent blog post from the lead developer of Signal exploiting a vulnerability in an old version of FFmpeg? Well Audacity was using a vendored version of FFmpeg 2.2.2, which was released 2014-05-04, until 4 days ago.

The more I look around the Audacity GitHub repository, the more concerned I am. They have a one line pull request fixing a security vulnerability which has received zero response from a maintainer in 6 months and now they're trying to vendor libcurl. This is software distributed to millions of people. WTAF? https://github.com/audacity/audacity/pull/835#issuecomment-835706808

Caldav and carddav management won't get better than this.

Linux was invented to stop family members from asking you to fix their computer.
