There's also the free culture movement, which generally believes all creative works should be free, not just software. There are many people who would advocate for free software and not free culture, but jxself has also written in supp

Another option is cryonics: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryonics It's not the same as what you suggest, but there's still hope you could regain consciousness, and this is a process that some companies alrea

A connection to Microsoft's servers will also be required to download the game in the first place, so I'm not sure this is really a problem (for compliance with the bill). I think the official launcher won't even let you down

Cool! Would you be willing to license this code as GPL-3.0-or-later, or some other free license? I'd like to include a JavaScript derivative of this for Haketilo (a userscript manager). I would add it to a collection of scripts that ai
