Horrified to hear that NHS England is ignorantly closing their #OpenSource repositories "for security reasons". https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2026/05/nhs-goes-to-war-against-open-source/ #UKPol

    @webmink Not ignorantly. Probably, it's just that Palantir doesn't like it.

    @webmink But I suspect you will eventually be given access. Just provide multiple proofs of identity (including 3+ biometric), reveal all your passwords, place spyware on any devices, and sign a panoply of loyalty oaths and non-dispararagement agreements. Moreover, once the NHS is privatised, whether you live or die will depend on your income and assets — so what business do poor people have reading about treatments they can't afford.

  • @webmink why does so much of what this labour government does and says, look and feel like a Tory move?

    @webmink It makes you wonder if K Starmer even knows what is being done in his name...or if international concerns, which are clearly a headache for everyone, getting 100% of his attention. This move would be very short-sighted if actually put into effect.
