db0European Commission cuts funding support for Free Software projects

The reasons for this shift in budget away from funding Free Software and the NGI initiative seems to be an allocation of more funds for AI, leaving internet infrastructure by the wayside.
Good old AI bubble strikes again.
It’s a justification, they know full well it’s not some future revolution.
But it’s a very good device to hijack discourse and funds.
It seems obvious that people who get to the top are smart, just not in the good way. They know the potential of various technologies. If they don’t understand the subjects themselves, they have hundreds of experts willing to lecture them. Even if they pretend to not have understood a word, in fact they do gain knowledge.
Yeah, after what happened to Greece it’s hard to forget how the EU is heavily infiltrated by the vultures of private finance.
Hawala awaits :-)
Was ist das?
It’s informal way of transferring the money. You give your money to Hawalardar which contacts the Hawalardar in the destination country. That person gives back the money minus fee which you pointed out or any person who knows the code. It works like money transfer but outside the formal payment system. That’s why it’s hated by most governments in the world. In many countries it has names like in China “flying money”
First time I’ve heard of it. Sounds awesome!
