Automatic update checks https://github.com/ollama/ollama/blob/main/docs/faq.md

But can be audited which I'd buy everyday. It's probably not to hard to find network calls in a codebase if this task must be automated on update.

This is the macOS GUI, which IIUC is closed source.

Yep, and I’ve noticed the same thing with in vscode with both the cline plugin and the copilot plugin.

I configure them both to use local ollama, block their outbound connections via little snitch, and they just flat out don’t work without the ability to phone home or posthog.

Super disappointing that Cline tries to do so much outbound comms, even after turning off telemetry in the settings.
