"...there are unspoken issues of sustainability in a pure capitalist path, thus the question of balance in state funding." + MY TAKE (Talking more as the long way around but more fulfilling)...

MY NOTES:
1/ NO MORE PROGRAMMING NEEDED - WE HAVE ALL WE NEED FOR INTERACTING
2/ Get ready to bring it together more often using our own pennies and jobs as crwod-funding and eventually phase out the EU pervasiveness / control / invasion with grant money. Accept they are more dastardly than all of us and anyway will cut as soon as they get less back (they NEVER give unless they get back more, a bit like letting Banks give people debt). It's a bad game. Quit it unless you're ACTUALLY converting people's awareness and not just creating more refined unmanned machines (or code) that can be turned against us / plugged into their machines in future...
====================
PERSONAL NOTES (NOT TO MAKE IT PERSONAL BUT I THINK IT IS AND "WE ALL KNOW WHAT'S BEST FOR US"
====================
1/ None of this undermines any good work done before - but do plan to exit the gift shop.
2/ I like Hamish's work though as usual ALL of us have to accept our quirks or lack of interface (like a wife or family member can be better representation / transfer and interface than a man just for quick example).
So Hamish (and others) we are finding constantly that we see the same people and perhaps there a way back to us talking and accepting our and other people's imperfection.
"We are both right" is a kind of movement in itself which part of what you wrote and other things moving forward as we all come around to each other again for many a good reason even online. (This is my experience and observation having my life invested in finding a way which I think I know how but is unacceptable for most. We have to accept imperfection and even expect those "who know / have some super powers" to be 'loons' of sorts or 'looney tunes' for their powers that needs investing to reveal but eventually sews it all up). Cutting corners individually or as humanity basically doesn't work / we have already done that. Let's do almost the "long way" and see if "pay back" / reward people on so many more levels that you mention just money is not going to achieve.
