Winner takes all only applies to presidential elections. In this case, they are redistricting for more congressional seats.

That’s a major part in the Ender’s Game series. They have faster than light communication, but the ships travel at like 90% the speed of light. So when traveling between planets, it’s like a two week trip to the people traveling, but 20 years on planet.

The main character Ender travels often, so he is only 35 in the second book, a couple thousand years after the first book.

Endeavour’s current iso is still KDE 5 and X11, but if you do an online install it will default to 6 and Wayland. Just make sure to connect to the Internet before starting the installer.

Spotify has almost every song on the planet

Yes, but the word rewrite implies that it would serve the same function and retain compatibility.

If someone wrote a new implementation of the x protocol, as a drop in replacement for the existing x.org server, you might call that a rewrite.

They were buying water from Detroit’s water system. In order to save money, they switched to getting it from the nearby river, but they failed to account for how the new water source would interact with their pipes. They didn’t treat the new water correctly and it corroded all their old lead pipes, dumping lead into the water and giving everyone lead poisoning.

Even years later, after they switched back to Detroit water, they’re still having problems because the damage to the pipes is already done.
