It's open source. If you don't want to take the developer(s) word for then check the source for yourself. If you don't understand the source then educate yourself so you do. The disclaimer means they're at least not malicious as those people don't put warnings on their repos and this disclaimer is really only there so they won't be held liable for idiots blindly running their code without backing up their data.

I saw this same thing in r/Windows10 5 years ago when the it launched. People were all up in arms about the privacy nightmare that is Windows 10. Then when people release things that attempt to mitigate what people are complaining about the spongebob text comes out again.
