Last year we revived the tradition of publishing a timeline of notable events from the previous year. Since that seemed to go over well, we decided we should continue the practice and look back on some of the most noteworthy events and releases of 2025.
As always, our subscribers have made creation of the timeline—and our weekly coverage throughout the year—possible. If you like what you see please consider subscribing to LWN. #Linux #OpenSource

@hipsterelectron Still deeply puzzled by this. FSFE has put out a statement on this as well. Would really like to know what you found bothersome about this.

@brauner I'll be at FOSDEM, would like to sit down for a few minutes and ask some questions if you have the time.

@GnuPG@mstdn.social Here is a subscriber link for folks who are not (yet?) a subscriber:
https://lwn.net/SubscriberLink/1054220/c6f98b90a009fca2/
LWN subscribers can send subscriber links to friends or post on social media. The goal for us is not to paywall important coverage, but to encourage folks to subscribe and support our work.
We want folks to be able to participate in discussions like these, so please consider subscribing if you don't now.

In the grand scheme of things, problems with email delivery does not rate too high on the list of problems in 2026.
It is still, however, frustrating that it's become such a chore and challenge to just deliver email as a small business or as an individual unless you are using one of a handful of megaproviders and sending to someone on the megaproviders. #Email #OpenSource

@hipsterelectron It was a blog post, people tend to use hyperbole in blog posts.
That still doesn't explain your complaints with what I saw as a perfectly reasonable reaction to the information the blogger was talking about.
