She rode through London in a coach pulled by eight white bulls, wore dresses that scandalized Samuel Pepys into near-incoherence, and published critiques of both Hobbes and Descartes. She also wrote science fiction 152 years before *Frankenstein*. Her name was Margaret Cavendish โ the woman who kept writing the future while her century tried to close the door.

Say no to Palantir in the NHS
NHS England is rolling out software to run our health records from Palantir โ a US spy-tech firm that has supported mass deportation in the US and enabled genocide in Gaza.
One of Palantirโs founders is also openly against the NHS. Peter Thiel claimed it โmakes people sickโ and said that the British people love the NHS because weโre suffering from Stockholm syndrome.
We canโt let a company like this take control of our healthcare system.
But we can fight back right now. Weโve set up a simple tool so you can find out if your local NHS trust has started using the software, and then send an email demanding they say no to Palantir.
With the government putting NHS trusts under pressure to adopt the software, we need to act right now. If you want to keep Palantir out of our NHS, send an email to your local trust and Wes Streeting, secretary of state for health.
Say no to Palantir in the NHS - No to Palantir

Re-reading @neauoire โs excellent talk โWeathering Software Winterโ 100r.co/site/weathering_softwaโฆ and one line really struck home, in the light of all the woe weโre seeing (AI, sloperating systems, age verification aka biometric identity capture/surveillance etc.):
โI wanted a way of doing computers that nobody could take away from me.โ
So the Transputer emulator is at the base of my attempt to do that.
your work on the transputer is how I first learned about your work, I considered the T4 for a bit before going with Uxn, and seeing you take it and run with it has been really nice. You're definitely going that way, where you'll have a bedrock abstraction that nobody can take away from you.
Keep it up!
