Looks like there's also a build flag to disable all networking, which the Debian package sets: https://salsa.debian.org/multimedia-team/audacity/-/commit/1dd028

  As does Arch Linux: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/audacity/-/blob/main/PKGBUILD https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/au... Distributions and open source maintainers looking out for their users, once again.

    Sure, but it's not even enabled by default in the upstream repository. Maybe that's a result of all the fuss about it, but nonetheless.. https://github.com/audacity/audacity/blob/6c2e8a2377542d67226b03c40333b14ae1c1b3ee/CMakeLists.txt#L225 https://github.com/audacity/audacity/blob/6c2e8a2377542d6722...

    The primary network activity Audacity does is checking for updates, which you don't want in a distro-packaged binary in any case. I don't know if it's "looking out for users".
