From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

it was never meant to be opt in.

Source? I've posted numerous pieces of evidence to the contrary:

people finding out: https://github.com/audacity/audacity/pull/835#issuecomment-833778895

people highlight the opt-in dialog text: https://github.com/audacity/audacity/pull/835#discussion_r627756976

there are no commits in between; it could not have been changed to opt-in "when people found out" as you claim.

For one thing the Nuremberg Laws (1935) prohibit interracial marriage. That alone is bad. I also believe laws that restrict citizenship are bad. Of course I see a big problem with allat.

There were also many more "incidents" in the four years following the Nuremberg Laws... Audacity, none.

Just like the laws, that's just the first step. Today it's opt in and soon enough it'll have no opt-out.
