enter image description here This item just appeared after a Microsoft update. "Distant Future Corp" has a couple of apps on the app store and only a few staff. They appear to deal with sharing of things like [link collections](https://deckr.surf/) , but it’s hard to find out much about them or their CEO(?) [Steve Gehrman](https://www.datanyze.com/people/Steven-Gehrman/168039910) (as a Flutter developer he has a [GitHub account](https://github.com/sgehrman) and allied company [Cocoatech](https://cocoatech.com/about-cocoatech/#/) developed Path Finder, which I brew installed and then uninstalled—awhile before this MS addition—as it failed to do what I needed). It seems impossible from an hour or more searching to find out why Microsoft has added this to my startup items, or what that company has to do with Microsoft. For now I’ve turned it off. Anyone know any more?
