The thing is, we are still building cold shitboxes, with the advice of "open windows to air the place out". Well when it's cold and wet outside, it's not going to magically make it warm inside.

I grew up in a place where we had proper, dry, warm houses. Even houses built in the 30's were warm and dry. Houses hear built even within the last decade are cold damp shitboxes.

I'm just venting but man am I sick of being cold and damp feeling all the time.

I am so damned sick of being cold indoors. I have three pairs of socks on, including a pair of thermals and slippers and I'm still cold and damp. Why is this acceptable anywhere? We are supposedly a first world country yet we still put up with this bullshit. It's made me very cranky.

I've used Matrix for ages, in fact it's the chat service my wife and I use (self hosted on my home server) to chat. Other than that and dipping my toes in to Mastadon, I've not used any others.

It seems like this happens once a year or so.
