It's not so much about protecting their own copyrighted works. I guess that's also the motivation behind those "data-poisoning" algorithms which causes AIs to produce tainted results if they use your work as sample input.

Ending and credits now have a background too. I was inspired by early fantasy RPGs like Final Fantasy 1-7 and the first two Ys games which featured a space background, despite none of those games (except FF4) taking place in space.
Space backgrounds are often associated with deep philosophical thought or the meaning of existence. Or maybe the protagonist is transferred to another world after starring into the mirror. I don't know. I just felt like the ending and credits screen needs a background too.

Case in point, the only way to play CaveStory on Mac now is to use the nxengine or whatever the SDL2 fork is for that.

That's when everyone began to get worried. Especially as the big impact of Edward Snowden's leaks wasn't that people began to give a shit about online privacy (of course they didn't), but tech companies began to start things like using HTTPS everywhere and forcing the web onto it, as in the pre-Snowden era you could still browse most of the web in HTTP.
But stuff like MS-DOS was a pain to get internet/networking in (TSRs and drivers anyone?), and even now the servers that any old software would phone into are probably long since shut down mostly.

You should see all the old FSF interviews and documentaries from around that time. There main talking point was "sharing is caring". Like I'm not a big fan of intellectual property either, but I don't think that sharing copies is the most important thing in the world.

I'm not joking, I knew a Mac Enjoyer who had game consoles for gaming after Mac gaming died off in the 2000s (he had lots of Feral/Aspyr/Macsoft ports in big box).
Laugh all you want but there was a time when Macs had ports and the SS1 Mac port was the only one they could find the source code for even!

All the kids know how to use them.
So it looks like the woke FOSS crowd has taken notice of OpenMandriva and is boycotting a FOSDEM event that the OpenMandriva co-founder is holding. I'm not familiar with FOSDEM so I don't know if they could get them kicked out of the convention entirely, but I expect these parasites to try to kick them out of as many FOSS spaces as possible.
>However, the concept of a website being a program instead of just a collection of documents is really interesting and I would like to eventually do more with that.
If you are talking about webapps that replace desktop programs, don't. I think there is a case for the web being more than a remote document retrieval tool, but only in a limited sense. Shopping sites, social media sites Internet forums, guestbooks, wikis, etc have their place, but we don't need any more examples of "photoshop in the browser".
I've been thinking of this idea for years. It's a network protocol where the client is simply a JIT compiler and the server serves source code for games and other software. Kind of like Adobe Flash, except that it doesn't use the web browser and the source code for software is always available (not counting obfuscation).
I found an interactive map where you can find restaurants that still use beef tallow instead of seed oils in their fryers.
