![]() I'd suggest that everyone dislikes the video now that we know that he definitely wants to turn the program into spyware. I found out about the spyware PR by watching his video and deciding to check Audacity's GitHub out of curiosity. Or how they will send your usage info from said audio editor to law enforcement in Russia and beyond.Īpparently Putin is sitting in his office wanting to know how many fart.wav sound effects I export every month.īy the way here is a video that the guy who owns Muse made about his acquisition of Audacity. ![]() I also like how they changed it so anyone under 13 cannot legally use an audio editor. But obviously I and most other people knew that this would only be temporary before they did it again. At that time I had also posted the link to the PR along with an explanation of what is happening with Audacity on the ZDoom Discord, then they backed down from adding the spyware. I remember when one of Muse's programmers first made a pull request that added spyware to the program, which then caused the comments on the PR to become a massive shitshow where Audacity was dogpiled by everyone for adding telemetry, and from Google of all companies no less. It's funny what you can get attached to, huh? Real shame. This stupid little program has been a constant and reliable piece of kit in my life for years. I can't help but feel really disappointed, personally. I'm probably going to start looking for an alternative at some point, but there's a little bit of solace for you regarding this development. I personally haven't updated my version of Audacity in the last 4 years because I haven't needed to. If you're currently using an older version, keep it! Anything older than v3.0.3 is free of the Telementry thing, which means it doesn't "talk" back to the developers and feed them your info. There is some slight good news too: This is all regarding the NEW version of the software. ![]() Here's a peek at who's going to have access to your data:Īnother interesting aside is because of this new change, the software now has to restrict itself from being used by people under the age of 13, which naturally violates its own GPL licence agreement it uses, so there's a well-earned can of worms the bastards will have to wrestle with now.įortunately because Audacity's software has been open-source for two decades, you can bet your arse there are some cunning programmers out there coding up some forks right now and there's already some chatter about it going on across GitHub and Reddit. Audacity's new Privacy Policy, Section 7 However, we are occasionally required to share your personal data with our main office in Russia and our external counsel in the USA." "All your personal data is stored on our servers in the European Economic Area (EEA). The most secure and definitely not-at-all sketchy epicentre of shonky Internet practices in any way! Oh and the best part: They're sending your data to their headquarters in fucking Russia of all places. It also allows MuseGroup and its associates to take note of your computer build, your OS, your IP address, your country location and sell your data to the highest bidder much like what Facebook and similar apps and sites do. In the latest version of Audacity, they've switched up their Privacy Policy to include spying on your hardware for the purposes of "Law Enforcement" and don't tell you anything much more specific than that. Thanks to this news, my concerns were validated: the plucky little 20 year old program that has been a long-time stalwart of open-source software that I myself have been using for over a decade has become what I had originally feared: A corporate product that wants to treat you as the product by sucking up your user data. When I originally heard that news, I was very worried that the program wouldn't be the same. ![]() To elaborate, a while back the development team were bought out by some company called MuseGroup. I have some disappointing news for all audiophiles and other similar long-time users: The long time and much respected open-source audio editing program, Audacity, has more or less turned itself into spyware.

If the instructions described in this section do not work, read the emacs info section on deletion. Try each of these keys and see what it does. BACKSPACE typically deletes the character to the left of the cursor. CONTROL-D typically deletes the character under the cursor, as do DELETE and DEL. Deleting Charactersĭepending on the keyboard you are using and the emacs startup file, different keys may delete characters in different ways. ![]() Backspacing pulls the cursor and any characters to the right of the cursor one position to the left, erasing the character that was there before. Typing an ordinary (printing) character pushes the cursor and any characters to the right of the cursor one position to the right and inserts the new character in the position just opened. The emacs editor displays Quit in the Echo Area and waits for your next command. If you want to cancel a half-typed command or stop a running command before it is done, you can quit by pressing CONTROL-G. It stops emacs gracefully, asking you to confirm changes if you made any during the editing session. You can give this command at almost any time (in some modes you may have to press CONTROL-G first). The command to exit from emacs is the two-key sequence CONTROL-X CONTROL-C. If characters are under the cursor or to its right, they get pushed to the right as you type, so no characters are lost. As you type ordinary characters, emacs inserts them at the cursor position. All input and nearly all editing takes place at the cursor. This Echo Area, or Minibuffer, line is used for short messages and special one-line commands.Ī cursor is in the window or Minibuffer. At the bottom of the screen, emacs leaves a single line open. When you have more than one window, one Mode Line appears in each window. ![]() At a minimum, the Mode Line shows which buffer the window is viewing, whether the buffer has been changed, what major and minor modes are in effect, and how far down the buffer the window is positioned. At the bottom of this window is a reverse-video titlebar called the Mode Line. Not reading the startup file guarantees that you get standard, uncustomized behavior and is sometimes useful for beginners or for other users who want to bypass a. The q option tells emacs not to read the ~/.emacs startup file from your home directory. If the file exists, emacs displays another message (Figure 7-2, page 204). If no file has this name, emacs displays a blank screen with New File at the bottom (Figure 7-1). This command starts emacs, reads the file named sample into a buffer, and displays its contents on the screen or window. The nw option, which must be the first option on the emacs command line, tells emacs not to use its X (GUI) interface. To edit a file named sample using emacs as a text-based editor, enter the following command. Some issues are postponed or simplified in the interest of clarity. This section describes a simple editing session, explaining how to start and exit from emacs and how to move the cursor and delete text. Nevertheless, you can do a considerable amount of meaningful work with a relatively small subset of the commands. Its complete manual includes more than 35 chapters. How can I get the best of both worlds? I.e.The emacs editor has many, many features, and there are many ways to use it. Whenever I specifically go into Emacs, there my programming environment is ready. I find them useful in programming-world, though. Note that switching between buffers is also easy in iTerm, no chance to switch to a "useless" buffer (for a terminal) such as *scratch* or *messages*. Works well (though I thought how easy it will be in Emacs to just have something like "kill current terminal and spawn new one" in a single command). I have a Mac OS command for switching to iTerm (from any window), which is what I would like to do in Emacs: from anywhere in the OS, press a key command and end up in a terminal in Emacs.Ĭ-w in iTerm allows me to close a terminal, and C-t opens a new tab. However, I feel like sticking to a separation of "terminal-world" and "programming-world". So, I would like to do terminal stuff with Emacs. iTerm is driving me crazy simply because I cannot edit the text, and I'm falling asleep while trying to move the cursor from one end of a long command to the middle. ![]() He also had five interceptions (two of which he returned for touchdowns), 100 tackles (3.5 for loss), four pass deflections, and one forced fumble.Īfter the season, he was selected to the USA Today Freshman All-America Team, the All-ACC Second Team, and the ACC All-Freshman First Team.

That said, the lack of research doesn’t make anecdotal evidence null: By getting rid of higher pitch sounds, brown noise can be very calming. Limbekar says there are no research studies on the effects of brown noise. While there is research regarding the benefits pink noise has on sleep, Dr. Brown noise differs by offering an extra-deep sound that, he explains, sounds really soothing to some (though your favorite sleep noise out of the three all depends on preference). Then pink noise contains more energy at lower frequencies, says Limbekar, that ebb and flow to result in a calming sound similar to the rustling of leaves. It contains more static, which is similar to the background noise fans make, adds Winter. “The distinct names that are derived for noises like the white, the pink, and the brown are all referring to how the energy of the sound is distributed over different frequencies,” says Limbekar, who explains that the intense frequencies of brown noise manifest as a deep, consistent hum.Īs for the other "colors," the energy in white noise is distributed equally across all frequencies, explains Limbekar. The difference between the sleep-friendly color-coded tones lies in their sound frequency (aka the speed of sound). The sound can be compared to a low rumble of thunder, a heavy, consistent rainfall, or a strong waterfall, says Limbekar. He points out that brown has a very deep bass component to it, which can be more soothing to some sleepers. Christopher Winter, M.D., neurologist and sleep specialist. ![]() Compared to white and pink noise, brown is deeper in sound, says Dr. Naina Limbekar, M.D., a sleep neurologist at Boston Medical Center. It gets its name from Robert Brown, a botanist who first discovered " Brownian motion," aka random particle motion, says Dr. While popular go-to sounds include white and pink noise, you may have scrolled through to see another color: brown.

You can cast with controls using your Oculus Quest universal menu in the headset, although it's a bit clunkier. For the person using the Oculus Quest/Quest 2 headset, they'll see a notification pop up saying, "Allow Headset Casting?" The user must then choose Allow to start streaming. ![]() When the app is done, there's one final step left. Select it, and wait for the app to connect. As long as your Chromecast is connected to the same network, one of them should be your TV or your Chromecast device. Step 2: In the Cast To section, you should see a number of compatible devices appear. The app may automatically choose a headset if only one is available or paired, but if you have multiple devices you'll want to make sure that your specific Oculus Quest is chosen, and that it says "Connected." Step 1: Make sure that the right headset is chosen in the Cast From.

I ran the Filezilla configuration wizard to diagnose the problem. It’s not a great long-term solution, but until hosts support TLS there isn’t much else to do (that I know of – leave a comment if you know better). In the meantime, here’s a Filezilla forum thread on the issue that affected users can follow. Command: LIST Error: Connection timed out Error: Failed to retrieve directory listing. I went back to FileZilla version 3.7.3 and I was finally able to get some work done. Response: 227 Entering Passive Mode (11,222,333,444,167,111)Įrror: Failed to retrieve directory listingīy far the fastest, easiest fix is to uninstall FileZilla 3.10 and go back to an earlier version.

In my case, I was trying to log into my Bluehost account via FileZilla, which I hadn’t done in a month+ while I was moving and changing ISPs, so that made it even more difficult to narrow down the cause of this error. Switch to Passive mode, its recommended over Active for NAT/firewall scenarios. Here’s a dumb thing I lost 2 hours on today: the new FileZilla (version 3.10) uses FTP over TLS by default, but not all hosts support this (like mine).

Super Resolution Audio for supported Bluetooth headsets If you’re interested in hearing the details once they’re available, you’ll find them in Google’s issue tracker. What we do know is that the security hole has something to do with sideloading APK files, i.e.: Android apps. That’s done so that unpatched devices can’t be exploited. Google isn’t sharing the details yet until the majority of devices are updated and patched. How’s that work? Well, the same 15 security fixes for the browser are in there, and there’s one specific to ChromeOS.

Since they’ve waited so long, I opted to make this news front and center. Sure enough, I’ve heard from Spin 714 owners that their laptop did receive the ChromeOS 110 update. ![]() ![]() I was told that the ChromeOS team knew about the issue and that the affected devices would indeed jump from ChromeOS 107 to 110. And finally, the Acer Chromebook Spin 714 gets a ChromeOS update. I reached out to an internal Google contact earlier this week for information. I’ve heard from a number of people with the Spin 714 that they’ve been stuck on ChromeOS 107. The Acer Chromebook Spin 714 finally gets a ChromeOS updateĪlthough this only applies to a small percentage of users, software on the Acer Chromebook Spin 714 is now in lockstep with other devices. Here’s what I found so far, which is a mix of items I’ve previously covered and some new ones. Google only updates the “What’s New” release notes every few versions, so you won’t explicitly be told what’s inside the ChromeOS 110 release. If you haven’t received the ChromeOS 110 release, you can check the status of your device here. The new version is now rolling out to most of the supported ChromeOS devices.
