  • The amount of work actually doesn’t matter (except when it does; especially the EU may consider it). The specific wordings might matter but that’s not immediately obvious. A dictionary is at least close enough to mere database that its protected status isn’t automatic. The more selective the dictionary is the more obviously it is protected since the selection process is an expression of creativity.

    Fake entries are definitely used in practice, most likely because they move the dictionary from “probably protected but the court would have to decide” to “definitely protected”.

    All other things aside, which Logitech mouse are you talking about? Both my G Pro and my G 305 work out of the box. Logitech also advertises them as ChromeOS compatible and AFAIK the Logitech wireless dongles are USB HID compliant so seeing a Linux straight up refuse to interact with them sounds very weird.







  • I’d love to but on my gaming rig Wine/Proton will absolutely refuse to install the Visual C++ runtime, making me unable to play most games. On another, virtually identical, Linux installation it works without issue; in fact, I have fewer weird issues like a game randomly not connecting to EOS.

    I consider it karmic justice for buying Nvidia; that’s the major difference between the two systems.

    (Update: The latest Wine version seems to have fixed this. I’m certainly not complaining.)


  • When AMD introduced the first Epyc, they marketed it with the slogan: “Nobody ever got fired for buying Intel. Until now.”

    And they lived up to the boast. The Zen architecture was just that good and they’ve been improving on it ever since. Meanwhile the technology everyone assumed Intel had stored up their sleeve turned out to be underwhelming. It’s almost as bad as IA-64 vs. AMD64 and at least Intel managed to recover from that one fairly quickly.

    They really need to come to with another Core if they want to stay relevant.


  • I use interactive rebases to clean up the history of messy branches so they can be reviewed commit by commit, with each commit representing one logical unit or type of change.

    Mind you, getting those wrong is a quick way to making commits disappear into nothingness. Still useful if you’re careful. (Or you can just create a second temporary branch you can fall back onto of you need up your first once.)
