With regards to the malware allegations

So somebody has been making waves on TikTok about this app potentially being malware/scamware or other bad things. This is caused by the Store entry saying this:  This is what the [runFullTrust](https://github.com/TranslucentTB/TranslucentTB/blob/release/StorePackage/Package.appxmanifest#L34) restricted capability shows up as. It is a restricted capability [used by all Win32 apps on the Store](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/packaging/app-capability-declarations#restricted-capabilities). To get access to this capability, developers must individually communicate with a MS engineer and justify their use case. Once approved, any app submissions (including updates to existing apps) are also always manually reviewed rather than automated. You can spot this restricted capability on other apps present in the Store like ShareX, Telegram, Spotify, iTunes, Ear Trumpet and WhatsApp desktop. Some UWP apps like Nightingale and OneLocker also use it because some of their use cases do not work in the UWP sandbox (respectively, localhost loopback and global keyboard shortcuts). The `runFullTrust` permission is required because the UWP sandbox prevents most Win32 apps from doings that they expect to work (for example not even tray icons work).
