Money spent on FOSS employs locals, and helps with technology independence.

I guess this is the agenda of the new parliament? Does not look too bright besides Chat Control and Going Dark.

Does anyone with a greater knowledge of the mechanisms of the EU funding bodies know if I can do anything about this? For example, can I email my country's EU reprasentitve and present and argument for FOSS? Or is the funding decision here managed by a specifuc group within the EU that my representitive can have little influence on?

Is it because oft the author using multiple clauses and multiple layers of context in the first two paragraphs?
If yes, then I understand why. I find myself making the same mistake quite often because my first language is German, which often uses clauses (at least it's more common than in english).

I am strongly anti-violence but sometimes I think a bit of torture wouldn't be the worst means to remind politicians who they represent.
I dont know if people will stand behind you anymore after you torture them
I don't need them to be standing, in fact they won't be able to. Just do as I say.
Scnr
sure, but what if they didn't stand behind you before torture either? I'm not really into torture in general, but maybe this poster has tried all other options already
