As far as I understand it the funds were previously part of the so-called Digital Europe programme which includes funding for a wide range of sectors in the tech industry. The €27 million for free software projects are not included in the latest proposal for renewal. I don't know why that decision was made. If the money was diverted, then probably towards investments into semiconductor fabs or some AI stuff.

That might have been the case at some point, but I have definitely been on a doubledecker bus that's crossing Tram lines in east Berlin.

In its current plan, the EU commission intends to cut €27 million in funding for Free Software. The article has a link to a questionnaire that you can fill out and express your opinion about the plan. I believe non-EU citizens can participate as well.

No, you absolutely don't need to care at all about the memory management when using Linux. This rabbit hole is really only relevant when you want to work on the Linux kernel or do some really low-level programming.

I would say the most obscure thing that is useful to know for running Linux is drive partitioning, but modern installers give you a lot of handrails in this process.

The really crazy thing about the graph is that there are 433 fucking datapoints!

man -k to the rescue: mbsrtowcs, strxfrm and wcstold are C functions.

No, I wod say scaling is any diagonal matrix and thus even includes mirroring.

Very good to see. GPL fits this project much better.
