Add option to disable joystick

Aug 16, 2020 We all float link
The new update (linux) causes the client to think there is a counterclockwise rotation command being sent. Even though I don't even have joystick connected at the moment. I then tried using the previous client update, and the problem did not show up.

I inelegantly removed /dev/input/js0 which fixes the problem, but having an option in the client just to disable joystick inputs would be nice.
