I can second that. The book is definitely entertaining to read.

I did want to add rotation to the map, but unfortunately with the art style it’s just not possible :-/

Just for the record, another GPS game, “Resources”, also never implemented a rotating map; possible for similar reasons.

Why do you pipe stderr of du into /dev/null?

apple is scummy just like the other big tech companies but it’s one of the least scummy out there, especially wrt open source.

Maybe with regard to open source, because that benefits them as a company - let others fix their bugs for free. But definitely not with regard to free software.

The FreeBSD desktop exists, it is called “Mac OS”.

Linus Torvalds used the GPL for his kernel, forcing companies to release the source code if they improve it and distribute it. The main userland was a lot of GPL licensed GNU software for a very long time, with a similar effect.

The BSD folks, on the other hand, decided to give everything away, by using much more “liberal” licenses. Apple took the BSD base, bolted their UI on top of it and gave almost nothing back. That would not have happened if BSD was GPL licensed.

I think I know about kotaku for 15 years now, but I can’t remember any instance where they published an article that was worth reading. It is another instance of wasted resources that can only exist because not enough people are using adblock.

Why do you need SISR for this? If he game is receiving input from the real stream controller (as you wrote), why not just disable SISR and go along with that?

Anyway, what you can try is to disable one of the controllers in the “Game Controllers” section of control, as outlined here: https://github.com/AntiMicroX/antimicrox/wiki/Methods-for-Disabling-Joystick-Reading-in-Linux

That website also include some more advanced methods, but I don’t think they will apply to your usecase, unless you want to run SISR as a different user.
