Resurrected you from the dead. We can't have rational nuance now, can we? yes, we can.

Partly. As in any relationship, this is not a binary, it is a composite, and has ebbs and flows. Lately the relationship has had ebbs, and with a new administration we can expect flows, but from lower baseline than at least since WW2.

> Being an electron app it has the huge privacy problem as it touches Googles servers when it starts, so Google knows what you are doing.
There is a rumor that Electron calls to redirect.gvt1.com (a google site) means that Google somehow spies on you. But all available information indicates that redirect.gvt1.com is a site responsible for providing downloads(spellchecker data for example), not uploads.
If you have information to the contrary, please provide.

Isn't there a rule against this - i.e. accusing commenters for using LLMs (the offensive language aside)? Implicitly there is [0], because I can't see how it adds to the conversation. So what if it sounds like an LLM? Soon you won't be able to tell the difference anyway, and all that will be left is some chance that you are correct. Comments should be judged their content merits, not on whether the commenter is native English speaker or not.
[0] > Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes. Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive. When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3." Don't be curmudgeonly. Thoughtful criticism is fine, but please don't be rigidly or generically negative.
