Bring back Alt+Space+N to minimize! Grumble..
This is a lame post. It was clear what the OP meant: in hot trouble for not doing the job. And technically liable vs. otherwise wasn't even the main point of the post. Assume best intentions and avoid nitpicking. Also the Q&A format comes off as a little condescending.
It is pretty great and I use it daily, but there are some questionable things... Like how we can't Alt+Space+N to minimize a window anymore. That has been a hotkey on every Windows and Linux OS since forever.
Thanks! great advice, totally agree. I did want more of a musical experience.

Simple arcade-style game. I ran out of steam developing this. The gameplay and UI need work, but I thought the graphics were interesting. All the units are rendered as Mandelbrot and Julia sets on the GPU. Parameters are varied in real time to make the fractals look like they are moving and swimming. Another fun thing is the audio effects were made with an electric guitar. Thanks for reading :D

> if you don’t have a loan history, your score isn’t low enough that you can’t get an apartment

This is not true. Many places will deny an applicant for zero loan history, effectively forcing people to get a credit card in order to obtain housing.
