We are happy to announce the general availability of Fedora Asahi Remix 43. This release brings Fedora Linux 43 to Apple Silicon Macs.

Fedora Asahi Remix is developed in close collaboration with the Fedora Asahi SIG and the Asahi Linux project. This release incorporates all the exciting improvements brought by Fedora Linux 43. Notably, package management is significantly upgraded with RPM 6.0 and the new DNF5 backend for PackageKit for Plasma Discover and GNOME Software ahead of Fedora Linux 44. It also continues to provide extensive device support. This includes newly added support for the Mac Pro, microphones in M2 Pro/Max MacBooks, and 120Hz refresh rate for the built-in displays for MacBook Pro 14/16 models.

Apply to the Claude for Open Source program. Eligible OSS maintainers and contributors get Claude Max for 6 months on us.

Who should apply:
Maintainers: You’re a primary maintainer or core team member of a public repo with 5,000+ GitHub stars or 1M+ monthly NPM downloads. You've made‍ commits, releases, or PR reviews within the last 3 months.

‍Don't quite fit the criteria: If you maintain something the ecosystem quietly depends on, apply anyway and tell us about it.

Nice, another claude model release. Seems like they cut the API price 2/3 compared to opus 4.1 too. You can find benchmarks in the article.

Big changes to our webview API, improved macOS and Android builds, and now we’ve shipped AbortController, AbortSignal, and XPath.

I am personally donating: First to Interstellar, the mbin/Lemmy/piefed client I'm using right now to create this post and second to KDE, even tho I'm a GNOME user, I like that they host their own fediverse instance ( https://lemmy.kde.social/ ), so I support them.

And what projects are y'all do donating to, if any at all?

I’m excited to announce my very first Fedora Linux release as the new Fedora Project Leader. Fedora Linux 43 is here! 43 releases! Wow that’s a lot.

Let’s walk through what Podman is and how to use it as a Docker alternative on Linux. Expect a straightforward guide on installing Podman, running containers with it, and understanding the basics.

An announcement for the release of the new Claude model

Linux gets a lot of love there on Fedi, so I think it would be cool if BSD would get some of it too.

For those unaware it's a Unix-like operation system, one of they key differences from Linux is a more permissive license, so PlayStation 4 or MacOS are originally based on it.

Apparently, there's also a Lemmy instance dedicated to BSD — https://blendit.bsd.cafe/

Note: No .ml communities, as my instance is defederated from them.

The survey also underscored the importance of growing the next generation of contributors. While experienced developers continue to share deep expertise that keeps FreeBSD strong, it’s equally important to welcome fresh perspectives.

Servo’s biggest month by far, with everything from IndexedDB improvements to favicons in servoshell.

ASML a crucial supplier of advanced chipmaking equipment, is set to become the top shareholder of French artificial intelligence startup Mistral AI in a move to strengthen European tech sovereignty, people familiar with the matter told Reuters.

The Dutch ASML is committing 1.3 billion euros ($1.5 billion) for Mistral’s 1.7 billion euro (~$2 billion) fundraise and is expected to get a board seat at Mistral, said the people, who requested anonymity to discuss private negotiations.

The round will make Mistral the most valuable AI company in Europe with a 10-billion-euro ($11.7 billion) pre-money valuation in its latest Series C funding round, the people said.

EPFL, ETH Zurich and the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CSCS) released Apertus today, Switzerland’s first large-scale, open, multilingual language model — a milestone in generative AI for transparency and diversity.

Today, we introduce Devstral Medium, as well as an upgrade to Devstral Small. These models are released under the collaboration between Mistral AI and All Hands AI 🙌, with a strong emphasis on generalization to different prompts and agentic scaffolds.

The new Devstral Small 1.1 is released under the Apache 2.0 license, and is state-of-the-art amongst open models for code agents. Devstral Medium is available through our API, and sets a new point on the cost/performance pareto frontier, surpassing Gemini 2.5 Pro and GPT 4.1 for a quarter of the price.

French AI startup Mistral is in talks to raise up to $1 billion in equity from investors including Abu Dhabi’s MGX fund, reports Bloomberg.
