Good news on the age verification front, though.
- California and Colorado have both moved to exempt open source software from their age verification laws after neither bill originally made any concessions for community-run projects.
- Warp’s Oz platform has been updated with multi-harness support , meaning teams can now run Claude Code, Codex, and Warp’s own agent side by side under unified access controls and audit logs.
- The SFC has formally accused Bambu Lab of two AGPLv3 violations , shipping a proprietary networking library alongside AGPLv3 code without releasing its source, and threatening a developer with a cease-and-desist for building a compatible fork that didn’t even touch the proprietary parts.
- For a few days, German rail operator Deutsche Bahn’s website was turning away Linux users , treating them as bot users.
DB blamed overzealous bot filtering and says it’s now fixed.
- Many Linux users still complain. AMD let students, academics, and hardware tinkerers build FPGA workflows around free Linux support in Vivado, then quietly moved Linux to a $1,800 paid tier .
- Intel engineers have submitted a driver for Linux 7.2 that turns a USB4 cable into a direct data pipe between two machines.
It doesn’t interact with the networking stack.
- Raspberry Pi 6 won’t be coming before 2028 and it won’t have NPU. Guess we just have to wait. Here are other highlights of this edition of FOSS Weekly: What LTS releases entail.

Getting Rust on Linux comes down to two options .
- The official installer via rustup gives you the latest version without needing root access. Installing through your package manager is simpler and covers all users on the system.
- Speaking of Rust, how about experimenting with Rust alternatives of the classic Linux commands ?
- Ever wondered why the internet went from IPv4 straight to IPv6 ? IPv5 actually existed as an experimental streaming protocol for voice and video, but it inherited IPv4’s 32-bit address space and its 4.3 billion address ceiling.
- By the time a real IPv4 successor was needed, the only sensible move was a complete overhaul, and IPv6 with its 128-bit addressing was the result.
