It’s better than nothing, but there’s also the issue of certifying that the code that’s open, is actually the code in the app. Also the vast majority of people do not posses the knowledge to actually read and understand the code to be able to verify it.

I can’t believe Oracle has 10,000 employees to begin with. What the hell are they doing that even needs that many people to begin with?
Of course it is ideologically motivated, Palantir could be the best and cheapest option but we still shouldn’t give them contracts. They are a US company and subject to the US cloud act so we would be giving up our data to the US.

Yeah good luck building detention centres. Labour tried that on a disused airfield and still got objections from the locals. To reform voters everything sounds like a good idea until it affects them.
If they managed during the pandemic I think they can handle it now. I would like some departments to be moved out of London but I get that London is a talent draw so some staff would not like to move.
I don’t see it so it may be slowly rolling out?
