No. As a general rule with all software, you purchase a license to use the software, not the actual software itself. That being said, GOG and Itch.io can’t yank games that you’ve already downloaded. I don’t know if Steam does or not, but it probably can.
That’s not exactly how it works. There are “territorial waters” which are entirely under the control of the state. And there is the “exclusive economic zone” (EEZ) outside of that, where the state has rights to resources. But the surface is “international waters”. This incident happened in the EEZ.
Nothing new. Nothing recent. Just people being scared of something because they don’t know how it works or because it’s relatively new.
Major distros have started adopting it in recent years. It’s one of many ways for a distro to manage which services are running. Many of the others are essentially a hodgepodge of shell scripts.

The only option I can think of is some sort of privacy-preserving cryptocurrency or physically mailing cash. Every other method I can think of would have your real name attached to it.
Unlike batteries, which rely on materials in limited supply, the technology could be produced cheaply using materials that are readily available. Possible to charge electric cars while they are travelling across it.
For those systemd users, it seems not as a big of a deal as “the register” poster might imply. In the end it’ll depend if the new soft reboot is called or not (it’s doubtful distros will change default behavior either).
I just got my home server up and running and was wondering what you guys recommend for backups. I figure it will probably be worth having backups on cloud servers tjay are external, are there any good services yall use for that?
