If the Pope is now considered part of the radical left, I think we need to look at just how far the overton window has moved.

Two weeks to go until #btconf Düsseldorf! 15 editions in and I still get the same feeling every time: a room full of lovely curious people, talks that spark ideas and conversations that wouldn’t happen anywhere else.

Right now, more than ever, we need spaces like this. Places where people show up, look each other in the eye, and share something real. Don’t miss this chance.

Tickets are still available and you won’t regret it.

@getkirby I keep whining about this because it actually hurts to see this with a product that you rely on when the support has been great once. It really feels like being robbed from a great experience.
Our merchant of record for @getkirby Paddle had a fantastic support team for years. Then they switched to a chat bot that served as a firewall before you could still reach them. Then it got significantly harder each time to get through that firewall. The AI chat bot was absolutely horrible and zero useful. Now they've completely deactivated the chat bot and you can only reach them by email. It's incredible how much you can fuck up your professional support in a matter of months.
It’s interesting when a non-left-leaning part of the family summarizes the state of the world like this: „We are funneling all the money to a handful of companies and individuals while there is zero concept for what happens with the rest of the world.“

When you look at an image like this and realise this is *all* we’ve got, we need to jail every political leader and business executive that is hell-bent on destroying this jewel, our only home, for fossil fuel profit.

To hell with them all, seriously.

We would be waging wars about Astrophage, trying to exploit it financially as much as possible before the sun dies.

As a fan of the book, Project Hail Mary was great. I loved that it stayed so close to the book, even for the ending.

But the story has aged quite badly. The world coming together to solve a problem for humanity seems so far fetched nowadays.
