What would make more sense would be to make a setting to allow or disable the intermission sections of the race (they'd need to think of another name for them though because they call the wait time between races intermissions in the settings already). Allow players to keep or remove the long stretches.

Movies already have ratings systems and age checks.

Lol.

Books at book stores don’t generally have graphic violence and gore.

You realize words still count right?

The bible is just text, there’s no gore or violence that kids can see.

I repeat the above.

Movies, books, and video games all have a decently sizeable amount, yea. Especially the Bible.

That reminds me of the old Maddox.xmission website

Its $100 extra, and that's after the artificial COVID inflation. But your point stands.

The Linux Ship of Theseus

pick any distro and install it.
Then, without installing another distro over the top of it, slowly convert it into another distro by replacing package managers, installed packages, and configurations.

System must be usable and fully native to the new distro (all old packages replaced with new ones).

No flatpaks, avoid snaps where physically possible, native packages only.

EDIT: Some clarification on some of the clever tools brought up here:

chroot, dd, debootstrap, and partition editors that allow you to install the new system in an empty container or blanket-overwrite the old system go against the spirit of this challenge.

These are very useful and valid tools under a normal context and I strongly recommend learning them.

You can use them if you prefer, but The ship of Theseus was replaced one board at a time. We are trying to avoid dropping a new ship in the harbor and tugging the old one out.

It may however be a good idea to use them to test out the target system in a safe environment as you perform the migration back in the real root, so you have a reference to go by.

Easy: pick two similar distros, such as Ubuntu and Debian or Manjaro and Arch and go from the base to the derivative.

Medium: Same as easy but go from the derivative to the base.

Hard: Pick two disparate distros like Debian and Artix and go from one to the other.

Nightmare: Make a self-compiled distro your target.

Is anyone else alarmed by a lack of a LICENSE.md and the missing /src/ folder mentioned in index.js? (github.com)

Additionally, it appears that the code for the backend server is intended to be public as well, but just doesn't exist outside of a readme.md document in the main branch.

This is setting off sirens, particularly the lack of a license.

I submitted a pull request to change the English user-facing strings to exclude the words "Reddit," "Subreddit," and "Multireddit" wherever possible, but there are still more languages to translate. (lemmy.world)

If you would like to contribute, please consider making a fork of the repo and updating the language strings for your native language. Take care not to change the actual variable names (i.e. leave the word "reddit" and "subreddit" in the variable tags, but change the actual string values).

The languages are available in this folder here, in the various values-... folders:
