Reminder that "intellectual property" and "paying artists" are two *completely* separate things, and the only reason people think of it as the same thing is because of years of publishing industry (ie. middleman) propaganda that very deliberately created that confusion
This is a great article about the Internet Archive, and the lawsuit against them by several large publishers

@scanlime mission accomplished then I guess
@ErinInTheMorn There seem to be almost no entries outside of North America - is that because the map is (potentially) incomplete, or because it more or less doesn't exist outside of North America?
@kim FWIW, Wayland is a protocol rather than a specific implementation, so it's also possible that other Wayland compositors may exist that aren't so power-hungry, because different compositors don't necessarily share any implementation code
@kim Begrudgingly :p
@kim I mean, I can't find my hueg X protocol book right now so I can't verify, but I definitely recall every single documentation resource hammering on "your window will NOT be shown until you map it, do not forget!!!" so I'm kind of extrapolating from that
@kim Wait. Isn't configuring windows before mapping them an entirely valid thing to do? Mapping just controls visibility AFAIK, and a configure request shouldn't result in an implicit visibility change.

A serious note on #FollowFriday, heavily inspired by @researchfairy toots today, is that your list of X Type of Person can also be Y person's hitlist for harassment campaigns. Much better to discover people more organically or through themselves and their own hashtags unless the person you're intending to Follow Friday has given their consent to be on an additional-exposure list. 1/2

It occurs to me that over the past decade or so, there has been *a lot* of change in how rollercoaster vehicle seats are designed, preferring more open designs that can accommodate more body types. I wonder where that came from.

Humidity, Winter, 
Hey, my folks from cold places!
This winter due to prices of gas/electricity and so on we've been avoiding heating as much as possible.
The problem is that we've been seeing a lot of humidity around the house. We've tried opening the windows for some time every day to circulate the air, but still the humidity has been above 70% consistently and there's condensation every morning.
Any tips or things to keep in mind?

@StroomAfwaarts @moonbolt Heh, unfortunately it's much more mundane, I'm using it here to refer to "Assigned Gender At Birth", ie. a placeholder for whatever gender was assigned to you at birth

If rail workers do end up engaging in a wildcat or otherwise illegal strike, PLEASE remember that strikes are meant to be disruptive. If you see someone talking about the rail strike and how it's having such a huge impact, say things like "Yeah, it's crazy how much of our economy relies on them. That's why they deserve good health care."
Don't give in to anti-labour rhetoric. Combat false narratives. Solidarity Forever.
