[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #40365] Community news web access should be a user preference

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #40365 (project octave):

Thank you for picking this up. Didn't expect it to become a blocker! 

Could your suggestion be combined with the first-start-of-Octave message,
about the configuration file with default settings being created? 
(Maybe not, as many users probably only look for the "OK" button in the first
place.)

The Preferences | General tab could have a setting for allowing to access the
web or not.

(dreaming on...) perhaps octave could only check weekly instead of upon every
start.
