Summary
Regulatory friction intensified as ARTICLE 19 and GFF filed a complaint on October 22 against Apple for violating the DMA via mandatory software ‘notarisation’ 1. In contrast to this platform gatekeeping, the principles of software freedom were celebrated: VLC lead Jean-Baptiste Kempf received the European SFS Award 2025 9. Open-source milestones continued as OpenMW 0.50.0 launched on 2025-11-07, expanding its Lua scripting API and beginning to dehardcode combat mechanics 5. Building on developer iteration trends, GitHub data analyzed 986 million code pushes, detailing contemporary workflow patterns 4. Technical execution remains granular; JSLegendDev sought performance feedback for a KAPLAY RPG, noting bottlenecks on the Macbook Air M3 during battles 7. Furthermore, unique tools emerged, like ktr, which maps network paths using ICMP packets while avoiding JavaScript via partial HTML updates 3. Meanwhile, activity spanned commerce and investment sectors. A field guide advised securing seed funding, featuring advice from Jana Messerschmidt on customer introduction spreadsheets 8. Consumers also benefited from flash sales, exemplified by Brooklinen cutting the Luxe Sateen Core Sheet set price from \(199 to \)159 through November 10 2.
