...you do know this sort of thing has existed on Linux for years right? If anything windows is actually late to the party as this is a relatively recent add on

There's also the fact that later on if your kid wants to certain things, either as a hobby or just with their friends, they're SOL because they don't run on Linux and the FOSS alternatives are awful and would scare them away. Kid wants to play a game with Kernel level anti-cheat with their friends? Nope doesn't work with Linux, unless they want to risk getting banned. Want to try your hand at video making? Good luck using obscure software that may or may not spontaneously crash on you and getting cameras to talk to your computer properly. Get a new toy that talks to your computer? Ha ha nope in your dreams

Sure you might be able to fix those problems, but can your kid? Can your kid do these things by themself and foster a sense of understanding and mastery over Linux, or are they going to grow up thinking that they can't do anything on their own computer because they constantly have to call over their dad for help?

Growing up my house was a Linux household and the first thing I was taught how to do was how to dual-boot into windows because letting me play The Sims and have fun was a little more important than ideology wars

I've never heard anyone call a vape a fag, because that very specifically refers to a cigarette. Like you wouldn't call a cigar or a blunt a fag either.

...who gave Raskinolov a Lemmy account?

A bootable Linux USB is legit a nice thing to have in your bag - it being Hannah Montana is just the icing on the cake. I've got one in my handbag (not HM though). No GNU license card but does creative commons count?

...it's more of a conversation starter than an actually useful thing but, y'know. Hannah Montana Linux. Useful for pranks if anything

If you don't like it as a ceral, you could try making biscuits out of it? Rolled oats biscuits are pretty good. I know I'm risking my Australian citizenship here but you could try doing an Anzac biscuit like thing to it. Super simple biscuit that lasts forever that just needs rolled oats, golden syrup, bicarb, coconut, and some flour.

Alternatively you could make a muesli bar and eat that. I know they're not that healthy but when you're making it yourself you can like control that sort of thing

(I personally eat muesli with yoghurt so there's a bit of body to the entire thing, but that's already been suggested)

The thing that confuses me about those nail polishes is like, anyone who uses nail polish to the point where they'd consider that would also be using a clear top coat, which seals the nail and would prevent the conductive nail polish from doing it's "thing"

...also it wouldn't work on most devices because most screens are capacitive, not resistive. Like you can use the backside of your nail on your screen with normal nail polish on and it'll work, because it's about the surface area and capacitive difference, not about closing a circuit

Not to mention like in Europe multiple species of native small cats are being pushed out and outbred by feral and outdoor cats

Keep your moggies inside for their sake people! Also for, y'know, all the birds and small mammals killed by them and the fact that your pet can pick up some goddawful diseases from being outdoors and still have a shorter life expectancy than indoor ones

You could try and find an apple that's about the same size?

ULTRAKILL has a phenomenal OST. Fast paced and very breakcore for a stupidly fast FPS set in hell with crunchy PSX graphics, but still with these weighty almost sad moments of calm.

On the complete other end of the spectrum, Project Moon. They've done two turn based deck builders that force you to slow the fuck down and read, and are also a fan of using "actual" songs (made a group called Mili) for boss fights that are slow, melancholic, and Really Good. they've also done the main themes for Both Games but idk if they strictly count as 'OST'.

Also I know Persona gets all the love, but the mainline SMT series has some fucking bangers too, just more in the Club and/or Hell yeah tubular bells genre
