The Internet Archive has put up a massive collection of old MS-DOS games that you can play directly in your browser

I think you misunderstand what a dictionary is. The dictionary does not define English, but is merely a catalog of common ways people use English.
The correct definition of free software will eventually make its way into the dictionary once it becomes common place enough.
By convention the list of the four freedoms is always numbered 0-3 due to the hacker culture behind the freedoms themselves.

Can those games be downloaded though?

Shut up.

Stp debating semantics

It's a bit more complicated than that, but to the extent that you're correct, it merely reinforces my point. The definition of "free" that you provided in terms of "free software" is so culturally irrelevant that it does not appear in "a catalog of commons ways people use English", even an exhaustive one like Oxford.

Oh, so maybe the new definition you're talking about is just new? Like from this year or last year or something? I guess you're right, given enough time, like 30 or 35 years, it will probably be standard.

I understand. I thought you made a typo in making the list, but apparently the mistake is fundamental to the list. That's a pretty silly way to make a list. Maybe that's part of the reason the nobody knows about it? Like, it makes all of these cultural references that most people don't get and don't find relevant.

But getting back to the original point, since this definition of "free software" you're proffering doesn't really seem to matter and it kind of weird and irrelevant, you can go ahead and play the games that OP mentioned. Because they're "free" in the way that everyone understands that word when it comes to being able to use a good or service.

Who cares if it's free as in freedom, it's free as in beer!

So it's another slide thread to distract from the latest Intel fuckup then?

Are the games listed at the internet archive legal and lawful?

No, it would be under the definition of free software.
Unfortunately the general public does not know about the free software movement due to being slightly subverted. Additionally the general public seems to have no problem being abused by proprietary software for some unexplainable reason.
In fact the definition of free software is actually that old already. I'm sure within the next 30 or 35 years free software will be much more common place that it will warrant its inclusion in the dictionary.
In programming languages lists are usually started with 0 since the index refers to an offset from the start.
Yes, but that is only the first freedom. As I said before, you need the four essential freedoms for it to be free software. I am not able to take any of those games and make a modification to it. Why can't I change something that is running on MY computer. Why do they have to obfuscate it by compiling it into a binary?

I'd play it, but it requires nonfree JS. Plus I already own Duke 3D and DOOM 1+11 on CD so I'm set.

Yep, now you're going to have to go play Nethack or something. But wait, are you even allowed to play a game that's not GPLv3 (or whatever number they're up to now?) I can just see it now, little RMS daemon on your shoulder is scoffing at the idea already. But wait, he makes joke! Funny, haha! It's funny because he's getting paid, and you're just sitting there trying to find ways to talk about how much freedom you have to not play some old games.

It just has to be free software. GPLv3 is a license which protects software from becoming proprietary software.
Regardless, here's an excerpt from NetHack's license:
which is essentially just a more primitive form of the GPL

But what about the tivoization? You're not exercising due diligence, comrade.

I just realized how much of a shitty thread this is, but I haven't saved the password and cannot delete it.

You're a retard.

Very inspiring. One day I hope to have your intellectual prowess to spend ten dollars.

But JS is free?

You foooooooooooooooooooooool. Free as in a freedom. You listen to RMS. You must listen to RMS. Now tell mw how to get hot sexy gf. Read GPL and tell me how to get hot sexy gf in fast and easy way. No I am not pajeet. No I am not proprietary software.

A lot of these games are sadly shareware but it's a nice alternative to fighting Dosbox.

Here's how u get gf, pajeet.

What do you do to fight Dosbox? Isn't it an emulator of a DOS computer?

It's FreeSource.

I hope RMS dies soon. His autism prevents him from changing what is obviously a poor choice of words considering that he's trying to run a poltical org.
Instead he just shit posts about Drumpf and how pedophillia should be legal or whatever.

Fucking retarded kike.

I bet you're one of those stupid idiots that thinks a 16 year-old can't give consent to an 18 year-old for sex because they're not mature yet.

No, I just think it's gross and gay and that you faggots shoud be lined up against a wall and shot.

No, what's gay is that you think it's gay for consenting minors below the AoC wherever they are to have sex, despite the fact they may be fully cognizant of the risk and dangers of unwanted pregnancy. The number of teen pregnancies has shown that minors are fully willing to engage in sex before they hit legal age. What is sad and disgusting is that most kids these days don't have education about safety, condoms and contraception in schools. That and the fact that abortion is becoming more dangerous to perform for the mother and the doctor as well is concerning.

Prudes are not logical.

You have to insert a quarter if you want to play the arcade machine, Joey.

daily reminder that lolis are technology

It IS Dosbox compiled into pajeetscript.

So are gas chambers.
>>>/out/

you're retarded

Last I checked, no they can't be. At least the good ones people care about anyway. You can download some.

You can download them all if you have elite access.

...

not every state has one

...

Language authorities a shit.

As a matter of fact, teens shouldn't be allowed to do any of those things.

It's not pedophilia if there are no pre-pubescent children involved.

who's the pedo here

Says who? Teens should be just as free as any other person.

Wait.... What authorities? Who the fuck gets that title. Not the fucking queen

Were Spock and Data metaphors for autist/sperg?

How does a site like this survive?

No, teens like yourself are retarded and their coordination is subpar, they shouldn't be allowed even to get close to cars, not to mention the other stuff

I don't think you are in a position to call someone else retarded.

At least learn what sliding is.

dropped on the fucking head

We'd need someone to write a userscript to do it, but it should be possible.

I used to write userscripts to download videos from for-pay porn sites. It's just a matter of finding the name of the object that dynamically loads the content. Most sites don't even try to hide the url in the source html anymore.

Spock was there to expose how irrational mankind is.

why play someone else's game when you can create your own custom game for yourself?

Because then you already know the solution to all the puzzles. And can't even have much fun just exploring, unless you randomly generate the world (but that will get a bit dull after a while, as the same obvious patterns emerge).
