I’m on 2.3.3 on Linux Mint… and I don’t think I’ve ever locked updates for it.
I have only rarely used this software: to “rejoin” two pieces of music that were a continuous piece on the original recording, but which were wrongly separated by a silent gap on CD pressings, and also to rejoin lengthy multi-section continuous pieces that inexplicably get broken apart with inserted gaps on my portable music player.
As an aside, Proton Mail Bridge also collects usage data, and they have made it an opt-out in the Bridge settings.
