There are actually things websites can do which may be more common than you'd think. At a high level you could convert all the custom colours to HSV format and slightly lower the value and saturation according to some function. This is fairly common for images.

Pretty sure this is exactly correct. I read the Kurzgesagt book Immune recently and it was a fascinating view into how our bodies are really the result of ancient warfare, with constant oneupmanship between us and the environment.

No word feels great which is pretty sad considering how many child-friendly euphemisms there are for a penis. With my daughter we try to emulate the same vibe as 'willy' combined with some anatomical accuracy by using the word 'vulvy'. Sounds gross to many, makes sense to others. Your mileage may vary haha.

Thank you for answering, and for the work you do. I will increase my donation amount :)

Honest question; why does this have to be a volunteer role? Is there any room in the Open Collective fund to pay towards renumerating someone for something like this?

Do you mean self-effacing by any chance? Love that for you if you not though

Jumping on this to second it and also be shamelessly elitist. Factorio is the automation game. Nothing tops it. You may think other games look more beautiful, exciting, or engaging, but they are not. Factorio is also one of the cheaper automation games out there with one of the best developers in the industry. Definitely give it a go!

Reminds me of the UK's Government Digital Services, who want to digitise government processes but also have a responsibility to keep that service as accessible and streamlined as possible, so that even a homeless person using a £10 phone on a 2G data service still has an acceptable experience.

An example. Here they painstakingly remove JQuery (most modern frameworks are way too big) from the site and shave 32Kb off the site size.

Literally came to the comments to confirm that the top comment would be about fartons. Thank you.

Ugh their firm grip on the pet food market endlessly pisses me off. I paid for a fancy B Corp certified cat food brand for years before realising it had been bought out by Nestlé

I do remember legitimately playing like this. Sounds dumb to some I'm sure but it was somewhat thrilling to try and stay off the radar. I remember with a friend joining a hugely turfed up server and building a secret underground base there. We went to great lengths to get grass there and a few sheep, and built a life hidden away from hundreds of players haha.

For what? If they took it away, the source code would still be there if someone wanted to fork it. Not to mention removing TypeScript from an application is relatively trivial.
