obrhoffI guess it’s a big blow against the macOS gaming community (if there is one), but Whisky is giving up. AFAIK, it was a wrapper around GPTK, but the maintainer gave up. Can’t blame him, since it was unpaid, and he is a student. It got the bitter taste that an open source community practically works for free for a giant tech company such as Apple. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/macos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#macos</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/gaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gaming</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/wine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wine</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/opensource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#opensource</a><a href="https://docs.getwhisky.app/maintenance-notice" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://docs.getwhisky.app/maintenance-notice</a>

Let go, and the window will jump to that new, tiled, position.- Click the drag area again and the window jumps back to the original shape.Good to know!<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Apple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Apple</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/macOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#macOS</a>
