Framework Computer has announced an update to the Open Source projects which they financially sponsor.
+ KDE is now being sponsored for 10,000 EUR per year.
+ XFCE is now being sponsored at $209 per month.
- GNOME has been officially been removed from the list of sponsored projects.
The official ending of GNOME sponsorship is not surprising, considering the outlandish attacks which GNOME (and GNOME representatives) issued at Framework.
Including a GNOME spokesperson declaring that Framework’s CEO contained “Hitler Particles” (a statement which no member of GNOME leadership was willing to disagree with).
It is unclear who instigated the end of the sponsorship: GNOME or Framework.

EXCLUSIVE: Craig Mazin, co-creator of arguably the most acclaimed TV adaptation of a video game to date, HBO’s ‘The Last Of Us,’ will be taking on another hugely popular and acclaimed game title next, Larian Studios’ ‘Baldur’s Gate 3,’ which is set in the world of ‘Dungeons & Dragons.’
Unlike HBO’s ‘The Last Of Us,’ which retold the story from the PlayStation games, the ‘Baldur’s Gate’ TV series will be a continuation to the games, telling a story that takes place immediately after the events of ‘Baldur’s Gate 3,’ as the characters — old and new — are dealing with the ramifications of the events in the third game.

Okay so, we just found that over 50 papers published at @Neurips 2025 have AI hallucinations
I don't think people realize how bad the slop is right now
It's not just that researchers from @GoogleDeepMind, @Meta, @MIT, @Cambridge_Uni are using AI - they allowed LLMs to generate hallucinations in their papers and didn't notice at all.
It's insane that these made it through peer review👇

Global surface temperatures set a new record in 2024, exceeding 1.5C above preindustrial levels in the majority of datasets.
It was more than 0.1C warmer than the prior record set in 2023, and more than 0.25C warmer than any year prior to that.

Have a look to our newest opensource work with MMseqs2-GPU to improve homology search. We accelerate protein structure prediction by an order of magnitude.
I am so pleased to work with such talented researchers!
