It's great to see that the @volkswagenstiftung has joined the Fediverse!
It's hard to underestimate the impact they had on my career, allowing me to start my own research group under a Freigeist Fellowship grant. After almost 10 years, my Freigeist project has come to an end just in the last […]

If I find someone to buy a quadrillionth of my company for 1 Euro, does this make me the world's first quadrillionaire?
