I tried to submit a less click bait title but the content is less hyperbolic
A media company demanded a license fee for an Open Graph image used on my twitter archive. I gave in and paid it, but what does that mean for open graph images and copyright?

What about PMTiles?
I would have loved to use PMTiles; they are a brilliant idea!
Unfortunately, making range requests in 80 GB files just doesn't work in production. It is fine for files smaller than 500 MB, but it has terrible latency and caching issues for full planet datasets.
If PMTiles implements splitting to <10 MB files, it can be a valid alternative to running servers.
Not s important if it's markdown or wysiwyg in the interface (although an intelligent mix like the obsidian editor would be nice)
The main thing is to have markdown as the output format and if I copy text from the editor that it pastes in markdown
Anyone know of a collaborative markdown editor? Like a Google Doc but where everyone can write in markdown?

I expect it's more to do with how poorly insulated most UK homes are
David Mitchell's book Cloud Atlas might fit I think. There was a film made of it in 2012. The children's book Charlie Cook's Favourite Book has the same premise.
You might also find things in Jorge Luis Borges' short stories (although I can't think of any specifically off the top of my head).
The film Inception has a recursive theme to it.
And there is a popular sci-fi book called Recursion, but I've not read it so not sure how much it fits the actual idea of Recursion!
Graham Greene's The Quiet American has a similar feel. About an American spy in Vietnam.
Edit: Also, Mick Heron's Slow Horses series, based on a group of outcaste MI5 spies in London. (The first book was made into a TV series on Apple TV).
Awesome Tapes from Africa [0]is a well known one. There's also a tape archive of Somali music that resulted in this CD compilation [1] although I forget the name of the actual archive site.

NYT subhead: Inside the world of Ironman XC, which makes the endurance contest a little more endurable — for executives who can afford to pay.
From the article: Ukrainian OSM members said they would “take action to amend (delete, modify, revert to the previous state, etc.) any found cases of mapping related to military or critical social infrastructure facilities as well as contact the [Data Working Group] and other [OSM Foundation] working groups to ban the users who systematically make similar changes (more than one).”
