17:11:17 [debg:albert] Checking for a running instance…
17:11:17 [info:albert] There is another instance of albert running.

Current Behavior

Telemetry is disabled, and only the Applications and Date and Time plugins are active. Despite no clear justification, Albert attempts to connect to its web API server at 80.211.205.88.

Expected Behavior

No network connections are to be initiated without explicit authorization.

Anything else?
