Thanks for the details!
I wonder how often they clean stuff up like this. That crossed my mind earlier, I’m sure there is a bunch of “dormant” software that could be cleaned out or made optional in some way.
But the making it optional idea is easier said than done. Especially from a standpoint of discoverability and usability.
To avoid all the blocks you are getting?
Re: the title: Yes 😔
It’s interesting that this supposedly goes back to Windows 3.1 and the original release…
Sounds like an inbuilt self inflicted back door on encryption to me!
Back doors are always bad!
It’s gonna be a bad time when a nation state presses a button to cripple our digital infrastructure.
It seems hopeless at this point. It’s all just hyper complicated and profitable security theater.
Disney bought into a long history of Fox animated properties being lax in infringement enforcement online.
But this is a whole different level. That’s where I agree with you.
How does one even do that in a conversation centered on such things? These are conversations with the bot. So it’s analogous.
Does it just refuse to interact? Does it just info dump and list all sides of the issue exhaustively?
I’m sure I’m working under a weird limited view, but it just does not seem possible to do this without things being awkward, or, without it being designed around its own agenda.
Oh no.
I remember bootlegs being common for certain genres at used DVD stores back in the 2000s. I pointed some out once, and the clerk was like “whatever man.”
Back then it was anime and esoteric stuff. It makes sense to me that TV show box sets would be a target for bootlegs.

Why can’t they hack them right now?
Those last things you listed were all true of Flash too:
He was someone who was a fruititarian at various points in his life. He was also someone who didn’t shower at certain points in his life. And he went for alternative medicine when he got sick.
lol that new one that was in a UFO “hearing”?
That was a balloon.
What do you expect, they started as a pirate platform.
Well, all we need is for the AI companies to jump from where they are now to AGI! It’ll be fine, I’m sure!
That wild $1 intro rate from years ago looks pretty bad from this end.
I didn’t realize all of these franchises were considered dead. The comments in this thread make it sound like Vantage is a nursing home for these franchises.
Oh, that sucks.
