"Hard times are coming when we'll be wanting the voices of writers who can see alternatives to how we live now, can see through our fear-stricken society and its obsessive technologies to other ways of being, and even imagine real grounds for hope.

Prototype Fund is going on!
We can now officially confirm that we‘re continuing to fund #OpenSource software projects over the next 4 years.

You can apply as an European team as long as one of you lives in Germany and there‘s also no need to (AI) translate your applications anymore, as they are accepted in English too.

@baldur the only place where AI currently has potential is in result programming, but in craft programming it just doesn't create the same outcome as doing it the traditional way.

When the progression of code gets stuck, then half the time I have to point out the flaws of the approach and the other half of the time it gets stuck in the exact same response as the prior one.
