⌨️ Codebreakers. Part of a Second World War British Intelligence facility, where highly-skilled codebreakers worked day and night to decrypt German military transmissions.

This site is not "abandoned", part of the site is a world-famous museum. These photos are from a sneaky visit to one of the non-public areas, several years ago.

100%. It’s enraging. This pioneer in machine-thinking and cryptographic master had saved his country and was set to do so much more. Where would we be today if not for his stupid persecution?

Even if we don’t value ethics, IMHO this is the utilitarian argument for being open, accepting societies: how much potential do we lose through thoughtless prejudice?
