On: How not to fork an open source project

[stuffbymax]

Yeah, he probably didn’t actually didnt develop anything. Saying he’s “been working on this for a while” impies he built it from scratch or actualy make some changes, but it’s really just a fork. and the disclaimer like “AI-assisted code completion, some human validation” implies that he used ai. Most Redditors probably wouldn’t even know how Git or GitHub works to notice. and also the video is very very similar to openscreen

On: I made "bootmenu" that support controllers [video]

This script sets up a Debian system for retro gaming and lightweight desktop use with a PS3 controller-driven boot menu. After running it:

The system auto-logs into tty1 and launches a menu navigable with a PS3 controller.

You can choose to launch RetroArch (fullscreen), IceWM, or XFCE4 desktops, or reboot/shutdown.

A Python script maps PS3 buttons to keyboard keys, allowing full menu navigation without a keyboard.

AntimicroX is auto-started in desktops to enable gamepad input for applications.

RetroArch directories are prepared for cores, and optional code exists to download them automatically.

Essentially, it turns a Debian machine into a controller-friendly retro gaming station with lightweight desktop environments.
