FOSS NEWS
Google stops using Pixel phones as reference devices for testing, device trees are missing from Android 16 source code release, making it harder for custom rom devs to port their roms to Pixel devices:
https://www.androidauthority.com/google-not-killing-aosp-3566882/
(Google doing their regular "boil the frog" thing... They started with giving Android app devs the option to block sideloading, then they announce to make the development process fully private, only push final releases to AOSP code base, and now this... We desperately need mobile Linux to become an Android replacement! (Although I don't really see that happening any time soon unfortunately.))
Mozilla shuts down the Orbit AI add-on for Firefox, replicates its functionality with built-in features:

(Yay, more AI crap to the browser... More work for LibreWolf devs to remove all that crap...)

In this week's #Linux & #OpenSource News video, there's an X.org fork surrounded by some pretty weird controversies, we have Denmark beginning the switch to Linux and Open Source, and Google making changes to Android source code's release that will definitely make custom ROMs a lot harder to build:
