Why Don't I Like Git More?
Every DMCA takedown notice in https://github.com/github/dmca is a net win for git as a decentralized version control system, especially for repositories that require signed commits. Unfortunately, some people upload only a snapshot of their repository working directory instead of... using git like it is supposed to be used I guess?

Plex Asks GitHub to Take Down 'Reshare' Repository over Piracy Fears
I’m with you thus far, but I’m trying to parse the notice to see why GitHub is even complying (see https://github.com/github/dmca/blob/master/2024/03/2024-03-1... ) and I think Torrentfreak got it wrong. I think they’re trying to claim infringement on Plex Server, but the English in the takedown notice is barely legible (and it feels like a mixup between trademarks and copyright), to the point that I find GitHub’s compliance odd.

Mazda's DMCA takedown kills a hobbyist's smart car API tool
> Is there anything that average folk can do against these notices when they're sent to companies like GitHub?
They can file a counter-notice, commit to accepting service of process if the other party wants to sue, and wait 10-14 days. There's a guide at https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/content-removal-polic... and there are plenty of example counter-notices in the https://github.com/github/dmca repo.

Removal of Mazda Connected Services Integration
From the posted notice[1], they answered "No" to the question "Do you claim to have any technological measures in place to control access to your copyrighted content? Please see our Complaints about Anti-Circumvention Technology if you are unsure." Is that the same thing you are referencing?

Ask HN: Why did Microsoft, Meta, and PayPal update their ToS today?
I don't know why you're arguing with me when I'm literally giving you sources backing up that what I'm saying is a mere statement of fact: contracts are inherently subject to copyright law like any other text, although the individual violation may be hard to demonstrate and cases difficult to win.
If I understand your example correctly, you would take an existing SaaS's ToS (i.e. copy their copyrighted work), publish it as your own (i.e. lie) and then file a DMCA takedown request (i.e. commit perjury) to force them to remove their ToS? Yes, you could do that. But since you likely can't demonstrate that you're the original copyright holder (e.g. trivially their SaaS pre-dates your service and they probably have internal documents like e-mails surrounding the drafting of the ToS whereas you don't unless you forge those as well) and sending a DMCA takedown request for works you don't actually own is literally a felony crime, I don't think that's a winning strategy.
To be clear: yes, there are laws against abusing DMCA takedown requests, precisely because otherwise anyone could just send them out for fun. Specifically DMCA takedown requests include a statement under penalty of perjury from the copyright holder that they hold the copyright. So this isn't a special DMCA law but just a boring old felony crime involved in fraudulently filing illegitimate legal claims.
If you're wondering why you've never heard of this it's probably because you're thinking of sites like YouTube which don't actually receive DMCA takedown requests normally but instead provide an arbitration system to allow content owners to avoid messy legal back-and-forths over the back of Google and instead be trusted based on who they are (i.e. smaller creators will be stuck in appeals limbo trying to talk to a human whereas large corporations will usually be trusted by default). This does not however apply to e.g. GitHub, which is why there is a public collection of DMCA takedown requests hosted by them: https://github.com/github/dmca
To speed up this conversation: if you can think of another example where your conclusion is "but this is dumb" then it's likely because your example is, not the legal situation you're looking at. Also "but this is dumb" is not a counter-argument to "this is what the law is like". The law does not care if you think it is dumb and saying it is dumb is not a good defense if you end up in court.

Is it possible to see the code of 90s computer games?
I don't know if it helps much since it's in C++ but Electronic Arts released source code for Command & Conquer a few years ago https://github.com/electronicarts/CnC_Remastered_Collection
Not most, but quite a few legendary ones were released in a "source available engine, paid maps" kind of way. Check out Id Software's github for a couple versions of DOOM, Quake and Wolfenstein. EA has released Command & Conquer's source code (here).

How to smooth and spread A* paths for an RTS
If anyone curious about some historic examples here is the pathfinding code from the C&C/Red Alert games
>The path algorithm works by following a LOS path to the target. If it collides with an impassable spot, it uses an Edge following routine to get around it. The edge follower moves along the edge in a clockwise or counter clockwise fashion until finding the destination spot. The destination is determined by Find_Path. It is the first passable that can be reached (so it will handle the doughnut case, where there is a passable in the center of an unreachable area).

OpenRA: Open-source RTS game engine for games such as Command and Conquer
They licensed it under the GPL3 so it's free software. You can also get it also from EA's GitHub:
https://github.com/electronicarts/CnC_Remastered_Collection
They only related the source to the game logic, not the full engine.
And if course, the game data is not free.
