   I am personally offended that you can't make programs in Visual Basic 6 anymore without them getting flagged as viruses.
   That's like being scared of Legos

     @lyrenhex yeah! I did a compile of a VB6 program containing no code, and 8 antivirus scanners on virustotal flagged it

     @foone wait, as in they get actually caught by virus scanners now?

     I remember a few years (... about a decade, jesus) ago SmartScreen would consistently dislike them, but :oof:

     @foone I'm offended by how sluggish it is at placing controls when running on Windows 7 or later.

     @foone
     Only thing I disagree with here is how you pluralize Lego bricks.

     @phi1997 I am allergic to companies that try to stop their names getting genericized, so I make a point to call them "legos".
