Doesn't that apply to every project hosted in America, too, though? Every project is subject to the jurisdiction in which it is hosted. And I know they're not the only project that accepts error reports and in-app updates. Unless there is more telemetry involved or tracking of out-of-app activity, I'm not seeing cause for alarm here. Though I'm open to evidence that there is.

I'm actually really surprised they admitted it.
There's nothing "wrong" with things like this happening, per se. All new tech has growing pains and failures. But for North Korea to actually admit failure in anything is surprising to me. I would have expected them to keep their failures quiet or to blame them on external adversaries.
I don't think that Libby itself is. There's DRM and while there is probably a way to strip it, I don't think that is easy and/or publicly shared. But Overdrive, which is Libby's predecessor, allows for DRM free MP3 downloads. But they've been trying to sunset Overdrive for a long time. The Windows desktop program needed to download the MP3 files is no longer linked on their site, for example (but is still downloadable if you know the exact link). I'm honestly not sure why it even still works unless it's to comply with some ancient contract they have with a library somewhere.
I wish we were, through taxes. Though we'd probably just pay Boeing forty-eleventy billion dollars to never complete the project.
No I get it. I don't like them, but I can live with it if I have to. Luckily my local library has enough DVDs to fill my Jellyfin server. :3
If I'm being honest, I can handle an ad in my pause menu as long as it doesn't interfere with the rest of operating the device. If I can unpause and reach the closed captioning or audio menu, fine, whatever. What really gets my goat is pre-roll and mid-roll ads. Can't stand them.
It is a standard. I don't know how you can make it not be a thing once it is implemented.
Newer versions are Homekit compatible and can be controlled over the local network.
Yes. What about that do you think is non-political? Abhorrent politics are still politics.
Oh yeah. I can remember back in the day it could take quite a bit to compile and start these things, especially if you were running at higher resolution and detail values.
