Ah, yes, the only terminal emulator which phones home to Microsoft to let them know what you've been doing with it.
Or you could just, you know, actually use Linux or BSD.
It's open source.
You mind pointing out in the code where it "phones home to Microsoft to let them know what you've been doing with it"?
I got a firewall popup when I opened Windows Terminal today. I forgot which IPs it was trying to communicate with, but it definitely tried to open some kind of connection.
Would you mind reporting this on our public tracker[1]? We absolutely do not expect there to be any outgoing connections unless you explicitly request them. Everything we're shipping is something visible in our public source, so you don't need to take my comment at face value.
