Surely the 50+ year long embargo preventing them from commerce and trade with half the world had absolutely no bearing on that whatsoever.

It's a start but doesn't fully address the problem.

Eh, I'd say it addresses everything that matters.

The root of the problem was that deleting the account was an exploit to avoid limit admin research and further actions, and federation of content removal. That's the only reason they were bothering to do it. The fix allows admins to research properly, and for federation of removal actions.

It doesn't solve the root of the issue with bad actors, but that's a much larger issue well beyond the scope of a couple bug fixes.

Does the Louvre actively refuse all attempts to retrieve original works and tell the requestors the fuck off the way the British Museum does?

From my understanding that's more of a British-specific problem, not most museums in general.

Same, my commute is about a half hour, with 2 main routes I could take that are about the same time. Just knowing if one of those is screwed up can be the difference between an okay drive in and hell.

That would require thought being put into it. That's a lot to ask for, clearly.

Most likely explanation... Modern monitors effectively have their own little PCs inside... that go to sleep when the monitor does to save power. Older monitors didn't give a crap about power usage at all.
