So if I accidentally Cmd+V a slightly-sensitive string into my IDE, I now have to consider that string compromised? Even if I’m just doing some local testing? If I paste someone’s name in, that’s potentially me causing a data breach? What?

          I’m gonna refrain from commenting on the “spyware” accusation, but it is a fact that the company is founded by (ethnic) Russians and the majority of their employees are Russian.

          This is from their LinkedIn; check out “Where they studied”, at least the top 4 of those places are Russian:

                  one of them even managed to state the reason then missed the point by accepting corporate pr at face value lmao

                    Lmao how’s providing a source doxxing yourself? Unless you are your own source, which would make these unhinged claims more understandable. Just because your head is so far up your own ass that it’s back on your shoulders doesn’t mean you are right.
