As I mentioned, using rustup
requires granting VSCodium more invasive permissions to get it to work. Furthermore, installing it would require layering system packages, which should be done sparingly. Using the Rust SDK is the recommended approach by VSCodium while using their Flatpak, and it is actually the simpler option.
Let’s not forget: privacy is not a sign of wrongdoing.
Some friends wanted to make a podcast, and asked me to join. I agreed under the condition that I could use a real-time voice changer, because I didn’t want my real voice publicly on the internet. That’s one legitimate use case. Maybe OP is calling a support number, which often monitor and record your calls. OP could also just be calling a friend, you never know who could be listening in.
In any case, voice changers are just software. It’s not creepy unless you know for sure it’s being used for something creepy. Anything can be used for good or bad.
