everything the US gov helps funds now has a question mark over whether it’ll still be here in 4 years…
Four years? Boy, you are optimistic
tbf to the US they fund an absolute ton of things, eg. I didn’t realise they helped fund lets encrypt and now the CVE database either, I assume it’ll be a drip feed of things being cancelled slowly over time as they find them all
What % of its GDP does the Netherlands have to put into international aid to make seventh place?!
The US traditionally has funded quite a few “for the good of the world” programs and aid. At least until recently. Thats a good graph.
It looks like just the UK, France and Germany combined already add up to more aid with a combined GDP that’s much lower than the US. These kinds of graphs give a distorted picture due to the high population and GDP that the US has.

It won’t be here next year, but it won’t be here in four years too.
thank you mitch hedberg :P
I’m don’t trust any .gov sites anymore. If I’m researching and I see that it’s a government site, I move on. I can’t trust that info.
The whole thing is scary
Could it be a good candidate for federation? There’s already a few naming standards that would allow a bit of a common ground. And maybe eliminate a few of the big points of failure.
OMG I’ve been motherfucking looking for this EUVD for the past weeks and only found references and info pages, but never the actual fucking database!! Finally I know it exists.
Why is it hidden? Why does it have that braindead URL? And why, for the love of god, does it have a separate numbering scheme?!
Lmao come on. Some people in the EU speak English and knew that naming your standard “European Union Venereal Disease” was a bad idea.
But “Congenital Venereal Edema” is better?

I mean, say “CVE” out loud and see if anything comes to mind, then say “EUVD” out loud and see if anything comes to mind.
I’m very pro EU, but this is just a badly chosen acronym.
Fucking hell, that site a million partners who all have “legitimate interest”. I’ve clicked on like a third of them and then gave up. I don’t need their shit.
