I was reading through GIMP's 2.10.18 changelog, and they posted this:

Quote:
Update check to notify users of new releases available

GIMP will now check every time on the start up if the version of GIMP you have is the latest one available. It will do so by pinging GIMP’s server for the version of the latest release, then comparing it to the one installed on your computer.

[...]

You can disable this feature on the System Resources page of the Preferences dialog, and manually use the Check for updates button in the About dialog.
Maybe a checkbox in Preferences or the About page would be a nice addition.

GIMP's preferences words it:

"Check for Updates (requires internet)"

and their About Page has a manual button too:
