Fairphone unveils Fairbuds 2 with replaceable battery, Sony LDAC and ANC
Reply in thread
This is pretty much my experience so far, audio quality is mid but better than I'd expect from earbuds. I wish they'd just charge when they are in their slot instead of needing to close the case, it's just weird requiring that the case be closed. The app is pretty terrible, but it isn't required and doesn't do much anyway. Touch controls are similar to what I've experienced with all the other touch control buds I've used, with better control over volume. The noise canceling works, but isn't amazing. I'd like a little more battery life, but I'm happy to sacrifice that for being able to replace the battery when I need to rather than throwing them out. I wish they had a zero delay mode as I can notice it when watching videos, but it's not a big of a delay as others with a delay.

FreeBSD Just Removed The Last Of Its GPL-Licensed Code
The upshot of the BSD-license in the case of FreeBSD is that it has found it and its components used in many commercial products, including MacOS/OS X, the PlayStation’s Orbis OS, and of course the BSD networking stack is happily used in Windows, macOS and just about anywhere else. Meanwhile the GPL forced Linksys to open the firmware to its WRT54G series of routers, ultimately leading to the development of OpenWrt and similar projects.
They make it sound like the *WRTs were the worst thing to happen to consumer networking and that corporations not being required to contribute back to projects has made BSD stronger, rather than given companies free labor. I find the *BSDs to be pretty interesting, but let's not pretend that they're benefiting from companies using their work. Very shilly tone to this article.

Microsoft once tried to cut Windows 11 RAM usage, install size by 20%, now it’s trying again in 2026
If it worked out, the idle Windows 11 RAM usage would’ve been around 4.8GB
That's still a lot

How Canadian rock duo Angine de Poitrine play with neurobiology and physics to make viral music
Wow, I like angine de poitrine, but they aren't doing anything that "no one has done before" and they aren't "playing with neurobiology and physics".
They're some math rock guys having fun with micro tones, a loop pedal, and papier mache outfits.

FreeBSD Just Removed The Last Of Its GPL-Licensed Code

It allows freebsd to be true to the BSD license, and I agree with the author that it makes licensing easier. BSD will always be free and incredibly permissive, and I don't see this changing anything. But a lot of the strides that linux has made is because people need to release their changes.
BSD on the other hand doesn't require giving back, so you get Apple that was the largest company in the world building off of the work of FreeBSD. I certainly don't see FreeBSD being comparable to macOS like Fedora is to RHEL. It's more like Apple took what they wanted and walked away.

This happened last year. This isn't a new occurrence, I can't see anything referencing anything new except maybe the lawsuits.
Edit: never mind, I just skimmed, saw lawsuits section, and checked sources, there aren't even any lawsuits referenced in this

Open source developers are just like you and me. They'll get fed up with the bullshit and start developing things they need with the resources they have, just like they've always done.
