Mozilla is adding a toggle to disable all generative "AI" features in Firefox. It shows that organized pushback is actually making a difference.

We're pleased to see Zink enabling the first Gallium-free Mesa driver—an important milestone for the graphics and RISC-V ecosystem.

Our substantial work on the PowerVR Mesa driver helped make this achievement possible, and it’s great to see these pieces coming together to enable new platforms and architectures.

Great write-up by Michał Wilczyński: https://mwilczynski.dev/posts/riscv-gpu-zink/

As all levels of government, cities in particular can greatly benefit from what free software offers to support more trustworthy digitialization of public services.

Excited to see even more cities demonstrating publicly their support for FOSS!
