Google stops using Pixel phones as reference devices for testing, device trees are missing from Android 16 source code release, making it harder for custom rom devs to port their roms to Pixel devices:
androidauthority.com/google-no
(Google doing their regular "boil the frog" thing... They started with giving Android app devs the option to block sideloading, then they announce to make the development process fully private, only push final releases to AOSP code base, and now this... We desperately need mobile Linux to become an Android replacement! (Although I don't really see that happening any time soon unfortunately.))

Mozilla shuts down the Orbit AI add-on for Firefox, replicates its functionality with built-in features:

(Yay, more AI crap to the browser... More work for LibreWolf devs to remove all that crap...)

Linux Foundation launches FAIR package manager for WordPress, with API replacement and decentralized package management:

Android Authority · AOSP isn't dead, but Google just landed a huge blow to custom ROM developersGoogle has confirmed it isn't discontinuing AOSP, but it's making a change that makes it harder for devs to build Android for Pixel phones.

Il y a quelques semaines, lors de la #TechnoZaure Nantes (conférence interne à Zenika) j'ai présenté

📬 📧 Opérer du mail en 2025 - une lettre d'amour 💌

J'avais bien évidemment trop de choses à dire, mais j'ai parlé de tout plein de choses autour du mail, de SMTP, d'auto-hébergement ( ❤️ @yunohost ), des @ChatonsOrg , des GAFAMs, de logiciel libre, de Postal, de @CrowdSec , etc. Le sujet est tellement vaste et riche.

Italian filmmaker @_elena is on a mission to bring more people into the fediverse. Today she dropped a brief explainer video for folks who aren’t familiar with it:

news.elenarossini.com/fedivers

Because I’m deeply embedded here, I’m not a great judge. But it feels pretty approachable for new folks. Just enough to shake hands.

It’s lovely to see folks building things to help the fedi grow.
