    after looking into it:
    it’s not and it never was.
    a) it’s open source, so nobody’s putting that shit in there without getting caught
    b) it had an opt-in error reporting feature that would send data back… that was the entire thing…

      What? You must be joking. Really? The entire thing was about opt-in error reporting?

      … seriously, that can’t be it, can it?

      Point a has always me me wonder, is that accurate? Are there actually people going through the code to make sure open source isn’t malicious? I can barely read my coworkers code… Let alone a strangers.

        people are definitely going through the code on a project as popular as audacity…
        less well known stuff is much less scrutinized, of course

        Its way less work than going through the code to check for telemetry unless it is an intentionally hidden attack- just use Wireshark and check if there is network traffic other than checking for an update on program start.

        If a project is popular people will make changes to it every day. But you can look at the repo and judge for yourself.
