General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Right so that apps useless then. Although to be honest it was already useless.

Anyway if there's some reason you really can't work it out just dial 111. Then somebody who can't see you, doesn't know your patient history, and isn't a qualified medical practitioner, will hand hold you and lead you through to the logical conclusion that you probably need to just take a paracetamol / bleeding from your eyes is not a good thing, and should go to a&e, preferably yesterday.

I’m sure this will end well.

Although if it’s trained on transcripts of 111 calls it’s just going to send everyone to A&E anyway.

Did Palantir have its fingers in NHS yet?

"Proceed to emergency room unless skin pigment darker than X value or if against genocidal ethno-states, in which case your rights have been replaced with a dildo. Go fuck yourself."

Yes, Palantir already have their hooks into the NHS. The data is very attractive to them.

how many people is this going to kill? (and/or) how much medical resources is this going to waste...
