NHS official pushed to add patient data to Palantir platform whilst also advising company

NHS official pushed to add patient data to Palantir platform whilst also advising company

A lobbyist who worked directly for Peter Mandelson, on the Palantir board, and on the board of *four* NHS trusts.

Lobbying the NHS to hand over even more patient data to Palantir.

This absolutely stinks. Get Palantir out of the NHS. Sign my petition:

AETHUS, my solo-indie debut, launches straight to 1.0 (no Early Access!) TOMORROW, March 6th!

Story is so often an afterthought in survival-crafting games...

Not so in AETHUS - fully voice-acted, there's always a narrative reason to head underground or build up your mining base!

There are some people in the games industry who you can't find a single person who has anything nice to say about them.

Favour to ask - if you played Into the Slimy Mines demo (you should, it's fun) can you leave a Steam review?
We could really do with a bunch of nice reviews to go with the other 12+ hour playtime thumb up, before the Tower Defence fest next week. Ta!

Sometimes I watch a trailer and think every single character in the game seems insufferable.

There's a joke somewhere along the lines of the tories not being the only ones who "lost their deposit" when they saw that Green result.
