This is a great visualisation! A fossil fuel economy requires 535x more mining than a clean energy economy: www.distilled.earth/p/a-fossil-f...

Things are getting serious. We are starting the release candidate phase for Kirby 5. 🚀 getkirby.com/releases/5

Could this be the biggest climate story of the year? For the first time on record, China's emissions are falling due to clean energy growth, not slow power demand Full analysis + outlook by Lauri Myllyvirta: www.carbonbrief.org/... 1/7

I absolutely love this recap video of the last @beyondtellerrand.com www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MNu... It captures the vibe perfectly. It's just a week since the last one ended, but I can't wait for the next one in Berlin in November.

The German Nazi party is now officially a Nazi party. Who would have thunk? * *Narrator: Fucking everyone in their right mind.

I know, I know: Bad climate change news are not en vogue right now. Sorry to spoil the carefully distorted version of reality. But the added ocean stripes are freaking me out … bsky.app/profile/did:...

5 days. Düsseldorf. #btconf time again. Last email with plain information – when, where, what – coming today. Want to join on late notice? This way please. beyondtellerrand.com/events/dusse...

One week until #btconf Düsseldorf invites you again to celebrate #inspiration, #knowledge and high quality #networking. And guess what: we still have a few tickets left. Join us! beyondtellerrand.com/events/dusse... #conference #festival #presentations #talks

Our meetup at @beyondtellerrand.com (beyondtellerrand.com) in Düsseldorf on 5 May is now open to all. Even better: You can watch the last talks of the day for free 🤯. Get yourself a ticket to the entire conference if you can. It's incredible. Register here: www.meetup.com/kirby-commun...

We've invited Justus from the fantastic Moinframe YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/@moinfra-me ) to make a brand new installation video for us: www.youtube.com/watch?v=us4h... 📺

I'm mostly hiding under a cosy rock at the moment, but this has to be shared to support Carole's bravery: "This is What a Digital Coupl Looks Like": www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZOo...

I receive AI cold call/email spam every day and it's so annoying. The emails are all personally addressed and sometimes quite detailed. In this one, they pretend to have a conversation about @getkirby.com in their team. …

I'll be at the Kirby meetup in Karlsruhe tonight: kirby-ka.carrd.co Would be great to meet you there.

I hope to see you there :)

Herd is one of our favourite ways to run Kirby on a local machine: herd.laravel.com The latest version introduces one-click installers that work with Kirby out of the box. ⚡️ Kirby Starterkit: herd.laravel.com/new/getkirby... ⚡️ Kirby Plainkit: herd.laravel.com/new/getkirby...

I have feelings about AI & the web & my experience being trans "in tech" in 2025 - so I screamed some thoughts onto my personal web log. I hope for all of us a more queer & humane future. Keep building communities & dreaming better paths. https://www.miriamsuzanne.com/2025/02/12/tech-ai-wtf/

It's great to see so many Kirby #meetups continue to happen! 💛 to see so many people at the recent gatherings in Berlin, Munich, Mainz, and Hamburg: great conversations, ideas, and a shared love for all things Kirby. A big thank you to all the organizers! Looking forward to more! 🥳

If you need something to lighten the mood, I can highly recommend "Colin from accounts" www.imdb.com/title/tt1822...

The energy transition in Germany is moving forward despite obvious obstacles. "Production of coal as low as 67 years ago! The gross power generation from brown and hard coal was approx. 108 TWh. We had that last in 1957."

About that misunderstood Elon Musk "My heart goes out to you" gesture…

Quick reminder: Don't miss tonight's meetup in Mainz if you are in the area -

A paper that understands its responsibility, in a country that knows it when it sees it. Impressive from Die Zeit. Refuses to show the salute, but calls it out for what it so obviously was. Headline: “A Hitler Salute is a Hitler Salute is a Hitler Salute”

Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic. (posting in 3 parts due to Bluesky's 1 minute limit)

I can't stress this enough: If you build a community for your product/service/whatever, make sure that you don't rely on a single platform. Have a place that you truly own and that nobody can take away. Be flexible with the other platforms.

If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it is a fucking nazi salute and not a nazi salute-like gesture or an unfortunate arm movement.

Searching for the umpteenth time how to kill the process, which uses port 3000 is so 2024. 2025: New Apple Shortcut … and yes: That's a perfect representation of my command line skills. I know I could use an alias. Don't ask why my brain thinks that this is easier.

No matter what you think of Mastodon, this is a great move and feels like the antidode to all the shit we see in tech anywhere else: blog.joinmastodon.org/2025/01/the-...

I discussed the climate change-fueled Southern California wildfires and the disinformation that Trump & enablers are promoting about them last night with Stephanie Ruhle on #MSNBC #11thHour: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DCH...

Today is Kirby's 13th birthday! 🎂 It's a teenager now, but luckily it passed puberty a long time ago. What started as a small side project has grown into a successful business with a wonderful, thriving community. We are so grateful for your support and can't wait to take the next steps together!
