Join me and The Citizens in calling for a full Parliamentary debate on Palantir’s use in UK services. Kier Starmer rightly condemns Trump's insults of UK soldiers but at the same time signs deal with Trump's chum Peter Thiel - Thiel the libertarian billionaire whose Palantir software is used by ICE to target their victims. 'At a glance, Palantir sells software. In practice, it provides government with the infrastructure to monitor, investigate and target people at scale.' Palantir were handed a £240 million contract by the Ministry of Defence - with no parliamentary debate or competitive tender. They already have a £330 million contract with the NHS.

Some months ago I decided that migrating my systems from Microsoft to a Linux OS is the next step in my quest to loosen techno-feudalism's grip on my life. Thought I'd start small with my ancient Netbook so as not to be without (read: screw up) my desktop for too long...

So, after a morning down the Linux rabbit hole, I'm facing an install (correct term?) of a tiny dispo (learning new words) that'll run on my 32-bit, 1.00 GB system. I figure, if I can make that work, migrating my newer desktop system will be a cinch.
