@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.

The solution is definitely not to plaster the entire area with PV. It's just showing the mind-blowing contrast. Another great factor: If we electrify large parts of the transport sector, we reduce the energy consumption drastically.

We use 32 million ha of land globally (ca. 1 Germany) to grow plants for biofuels. This equals 1.400 TWh per year, or 4% of our global energy consumption for transport.

If we'd use the same area for PV, we could produce 32.000 TWh per year, already considering the potential yield for the areas where we grow bio fuel plants.

For comparison: the entire world consumed 31.000 TWh of electricity in 2024.

I love such comparisons.
