Network Connections (Network Traffic)

Hi, can you please add an option to disable the phone home requests during application startup? Better yet, remove it altogether, please?

On Linux, using OpenSnitch, I see that every time I start Obsidian it tries to make multiple requests to Github domains (githubusercontent, etc) over the course of about 3 minutes (if blocked, it keeps re-trying).

I do have the option for “Automatic updates” turned off in settings, but this does not stop these requests at startup. We should, at the very least, be informed they are occurring. It took OpenSnitch to identify these surreptitious requests.

Please disable these internet requests, whatever they are doing. For a “privacy focused” application, this is unacceptable. Otherwise, Obsidian seems like a pretty great application so far.

Thanks.
