Try again, Jonsey. The Soviet System ended in 1991. At most it might be Russian. but let's not equate people or groups in Russia from the Russian Government. We had this situation when people blamed returning Vietnam veterans for the US Government's prosecution of the military conflict.
Don't tell me what to do.
So, Russians are constantly throwing political misinformation out into the internet, causing our stupider countryfolk to fall for lies. Ohh that's not all Russians, just people trying to do a job, we shouldn't group them together.
Russians are constantly spewing their dumbass botnet script kiddie nonsense out into the world, to the point where it's easier for sites like this to just ban IPs from Russia. Ohh that's not all Russians, just the hackers, we shouldn't group them together.
Russians just decided to up and invade another sovereign nature like Ukraine, ooooh that's not all Russians, just the ones in their military.
Russians decided to kill a stray dog in space, ooooh that's not all Russians, just the cosmonauts.
Russians decided to ruin Audacity, ohh that's not all (etc).
And so on. At some point people will just start to lump them all together because they don't feel like going "Not all Russians" and call them Soviets and they don't need someone like you sticking up for them.
Since you have a reaasonable version that doesn't phone home, use it. Or, it is an open source application, if it bothers you, look throgh the code that handles telematics, dike it out, and recompile it as a fork. Aidacity has no reason to connect to the internet, so if any such code is present, disable it, then the issue is removed. Yeah, that's a drastic step, but bold problems require bold solutions.
This is incredible and you'll never know why. I was sick of the UI of a program and you suggested a
totally different kind of program and I tried to politely tell you that you have no idea what you're talking about, and now you're barreling on about disabling telemetry code when I already told you that I have a version of a program THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS CONVERSATION SINCE IT'S NOT A DAW and you wouldn't have the faintest idea where to start ripping out code anyway.
