    Hah yeah that's cool. Optimized the EEL2 (JSFX) code generation in the latest releases (and it now uses SSE on x86_64, which improves the Rosetta2 performance too).

Question: Do you think Audacity crossed the line with their new privacy policy or is the public overreacting? its here if you haven't seen it archive.fo/d3LBR

Reply on July 4 2021, 11:54pm (edited at July 5 2021, 9:52pm):
    What's the line, anyway? I dunno. Sharing minidumps is the part that would bother me, you never know what personal information could end up in those? Edit: if it's just stack traces, fine... if it's a partial memory dump that's a line crossed, for me. That Audacity backlash feels like an overreaction to me.

Question: Have you ever considered writing an operating system? It would be a massive project, expensive in both time and money. And history suggests that you’d ultimately fail. But I fall asleep every night fantasying about an OS that behaves just like Reaper.
