@Edent To me, it looks like attacks against open source as a whole are being launched from a number of different angles at once. The totality of it smells like an unannounced coordinated multi-pronged attack. I suspect the usual right-wing usanian bad actors.
@nyc not everything is a grand conspiracy. That sort of thinking distracts you from tackling the real issues which are presented.
@Edent I'm a little surprised to find out that they have open source repositories given how opaque the organisation generally is to the public.
@InsertUser as I say in the post, the NHS has been consistently good at publishing open source. Also a huge amount of statistics and other data are also released for free - often via excellent APIs.

@Edent oof that's disappointing.
@Edent
Starmer is Labour's worst leader. In history, and that includes Blair.
@kevinrns ok. But that has nothing to do with the blog post. This isn't a PM level decision.
The NHS has been put in a bobsled to hell by Tories, Starmer has done nothing to.change the destination.
Like he's done nothing on Tory demonstration laws, like he's adopted Tory lgbt bigotry, like he's continued Tory Austerity, like he continues racist Tory immigrant scapegoating.
Ain't nothing outside the PM purview.
@kevinrns I mean, that simply isn't true. Funding is significantly up in the NHS.

If you think the PM bothers with matters like this, you haven't really understood how UK politics works.
No need to reply, thanks.
@Edent you can't even download a list of hospitals any more!
@Edent For not patching and auditing their systems they lost, they did not learn a thing or two
@Edent why on earth would they do that??! Madness. I can only guess someone has a vested interest...
@Edent have you considered asking your Mastodon admins to moderate signups so people can't use your server for spam?
"NHS sides with Trump billionaires to increase dependency on ghouls like Peter Thiel, despite national security risks & associations with Jeffrey Epstein.
National Security Vulnerabilities deliberately promoted."

Cautionary Tale: Trump orders access denials

@Npars01 I'm not a Republican.
This isn't about access to data. It is about source code security.
Forgive my snarky remarks.
The moneyed interests behind deliberate source code insecurity policies have their own agenda.
Security of data and data sovereignty are threats to those interests.
@Npars01 understood. But we don't have Republicans in the UK (other than the anti-monarchy lot).
What did your MP say when you wrote to them about it?
