| schestowitz | <blockquote> | Apr 07 06:03 |
| schestowitz | <p>For years KWin has offered modifier-only shortcut handling via an obscure and undocumented method of editing the kwinrc file. Well, no more: in Plasma 6.1, KDE’s shortcut choosers will accept lone modifier keys natively! This makes it much easier to, for example, re-bind what the Meta key does: now you can easily make it open Overview, KRunner, or anything else simply by assigning it | Apr 07 06:03 |
| schestowitz | directly to that something else. This work required expensive re-plumbing throughout KDE’s software stack and was undertaken by Yifan Zhu, closing multiple Bugzilla tickets in the process—some fairly old. Thanks a lot, Yifan! (Link 1, link 2, link 3, link 4, link 5, and link 6) </p> | Apr 07 06:03 |
| schestowitz | <p> But that’s not all! Though bug-fixing is eternal, we’ve largely gotten over the hump for Plasma 6.0, and I’ve noticed that features and UI improvement have occupied more of people’s attention recently. So let’s start with a much-requested one… </p> | Apr 07 06:03 |

| schestowitz | "I think the old adage can be very easily amended to resolve any perceived tension between the novelty-infringement test and the doctrine of equivalents:<br /><br />- that what comes after and infringes must, if coming before, destroy novelty;<br />- that what comes after and infringes by virtue only of the doctrine of equivalents must, if coming before, destroy inventive step. <br /><br />Ta da! I fixed it. <br /><br />There is a minor | Apr 07 20:17 |
| schestowitz | flaw: this does not account for secret prior art (Art 54(3)/S2(3)) which is not citable for inventive step. As secret art, there is no justification for taking this into account when interpreting the scope of the claim, whether under a strict, literal interpretation or under the doctrine of equivalents. Accordingly, an equivalent disclosed in secret prior art is susceptible of being held to be an infringement under the doctrine of equi | Apr 07 20:17 |
| schestowitz | valents. The applicant of that secret prior art would need to (and could) avail themselves of the secret prior use defence to infringement.<br /><br />Who would have thought that the legislator already provided us with all of the means necessary to prevent old technology from being injuncted by a patentee?" | Apr 07 20:17 |
