This is REALLY cool. This is how public funding should be allocated.

Do you have to be European to get funded?

You just have to sit while peeing if you’re a guy

Great at nighttime when half asleep, don’t need to turn on the light.

I made my German girlfriend watch me pee while standing to show that it’s a controlled stream.
Then she pulled out her funnel and made me watch her pee while standing.

I had no idea. Even though I’ve been travelling Germany regularly, I have never heard of or noticed anything related to this weird trend. However, multiple sources including the survey data that this article is based on confirms the rumor.
I’m still thinking “why?” …

I’ve read a book on it.
It wasn’t particularly good.
But I did.
Also all cultures are weird

Shower thought: what if the defence budget of every country would be donated to open source software instead of killing devices?

Lots of funded projects on this list are ones with recent vulns (log4j, openssh, etc)

I’m surprised openssl isn’t on the list, considering heart bleed
