Thank you for making this event and to the mods for helping! Having the live chat and seeing every team trying to come up with strategies (plus the friendly banter!) was fun :D
Do you need your NVIDIA GPU? It sucks but the best solution is probably to disable this GPU and rely on the integrated GPU of your CPU. You can take a look at this guide from the Arch Wiki which explains how to do that
Sorry that I can't help you with getting that GPU to work. I've seen some people claiming this MBP model works great with Linux but no info on if they're using the NVIDIA GPU :/
Eh-e eh!
Many things still don't have a XDG portal like reading absolute cursor position (useful for some accessibility and productivity apps) and things who do have an XDG portal like screenshoting are usually not implemented in popular OS-agnostic libraries
Those things aren't supported in XWayland either for security reasons iirc and require X11 but I could be wrong
Here you go!
Interesting! To me inverting the x-axis just makes sense in 3rd person games: you see the back of the head of the character so if the back of the head moves to the left your field of view should move to the right. Basically, the joystick controls the head of the character from your POV. Never thought that was uncommon!
GameCube controllers controlled the camera by using buttons and not two thumbsticks
Played a bit of GameCube a few months ago and that's definitely wrong
the c-stick isn't great but it's very much used for camera controls
however the rest of the article seems pretty good. Thanks for sharing!
TL;DW from my vague memories:
Oracle got the trademark for JavaScript because they bought the company who made it. Now they have no involvement in the JavaScript ecosystem aside from making a library that barely anyone is using. The JavaScript standard has to refer to JavaScript as ECMAScript because Oracle doesn't want anything to do with it and won't allow other people to use the JavaScript name.
The Node.JS/Done guy says that's stupid and had been requesting Oracle to release the trademark into the public domain for years which Oracle had always ignored/refused. More recently, Node.JS/Deno guy took Oracle to court for holding onto the JavaScript copyright with no intention of doing anything with it which ended in failure with Oracle claiming they're involved in the ecosystem thanks to that one library they made.
The guy who created JavaScript agrees that's stupid but can't help.
