Hi,

Thank you for packaging variety. It is a very nice program and does its work 
smoothly.

Sadly, it contains code which attempts to load "options" from a remove server 
without user's consent. See [1] and [2].

I'll prepare a merge request that removes the start of the background thread 
which does the fetch. Variety works just fine without it.


Thanks for considering,
    Damyan
