We'll keep our 'Kirby wrapped' post brief. There's one number we really want to share with you. Together, we’ve collected and donated €4,778 to the Against Malaria Foundation in 2025. 💛 This is a great achievement. We are very grateful that you use our donation chechbox at checkout so frequently!

It might sound weird, but we don't have any plans to bake AI into @getkirby.com We are well aware that a significant part of our customers would not appreciate forcing AI upon them. And we respect that.

What's new in v5.2? We've managed to achieve better performance for our Panel forms, especially for setups with deeply nested fields. Running views for all our fields (of course a very theoretical scenario), we achieved a reduction in time of almost 70%! All of 5.2: github.com/getkirby/kir...

Notion is such a good example of a tool with a team that did not know when to stop and reflect, but just kept adding. We had a brilliant drawing teacher and sculptor in university. I was very pleased with one of my drawings and kept going, adding more and more details. …

#3157 A helpful tutorial

My deepest respect for @gargron.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy for his work, and for his post about stepping down: blog.joinmastodon.org/2025/11/. In my opinion, this post perfectly illustrates why Mastodon is what it is, and why I love the Fediverse so much.

I just got an email from XING. That felt a bit like in 9th grade when we tried glass divination on a school trip and the dead grandma of one of our friends replied.

Is the Atlantic Ocean circulation close to tipping? Hear the latest science as I presented it last month at the ATLAS25 event in Helsinki. Let me know if anything is unclear, or if you see good reasons why your government shouldn't immediately act on this. 🌊 youtu.be/ULJXqOZuY-8

I just recevied an interesting phishing attempt via @getkirby.com email support. 1. Someone claimed to have issues with our site. I asked for details and they sent me a link to a screenshot …

The statement "climate adaptation is indistinguishable from efforts to improve human welfare" is the sign that someone does not understand the magnitude of the planetary crisis we face — or how human systems actually work within the context of the climate and biosphere.

*Everything* in this video is on point on AI and AGI, and exactly what's been knocking around my head for several months: www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUQj... Watch. Share. /via Chetan who's no on socials, but _is_ speaking at #FFConf on Friday 🙏

I discovered this marvellous skit yesterday, and I think it serves as a great analogy for many AI products at the moment! youtu.be/na2QdKpoY9k?...

China’s CO2 emissions have now been flat or falling for 18 months, starting in March 2024. This trend continued in the third quarter of 2025, when emissions were unchanged year-on-year. If this trend starts to move into sustained carbon emissions reduction it would be hugely significant.

The first Kirby Konf will take place in September 2026! If you're interested, sign up, vote for your preferred dates and be among the first to get tickets: konf.getkirby.com 📆 More details will follow over the next few weeks.

I loved Astrid's list at @btconf.bsky.social Here's mine: - Guitars, amps & effects - Drumming (of others because I can't) - Graphic design for music instruments - Building ninja warrior obstacles - Climate science & renewable energy - Special effects in movies

Finally, in this opening round of showcased accessible websites, we highlight a standout conference site run by @marcthiele.com + @beyondtellerrand.com www.a11ywebsites.com/showcase/202... #a11y

On my way to Berlin for @beyondtellerrand.com Giddy like a small child – as always when it's time for my favourite conference. There are still tickets if you are spontaneous and the line-up is incredible: beyondtellerrand.com/events/berli...

The new UNEP report is out with the latest estimates of 2100 warming outcomes under current policies, NDCs, and net-zero targets. Here is how it compares to both the IPCC scenarios and other estimates (CAT and IEA, who will release their own updates soon!).

In Berlin on Thursday? Join our free meetup at @beyondtellerrand.com (6 November, 19:45). @distantnative.com and @bastianallgeier.com from the core team will be there: www.meetup.com/kirby-cms-co... Please RSVP on Meetup if you plan to attend.

Sounds like clickbait, but it isn't. It's unblievable how wasteful those throwaway vapes are: youtube.com/watch?v=dy-wFixuRVU

One of the best pieces of advice that I got from a talk about PR reviews: Be the first reviewer for your own PR. I still need to remember that advice more often. But whenever I do, I spot at least one thing that I instantly need to fix, even if I thought I was super careful before.

Wrote a little blog post about the new #btconf website. Once more big props to my friends @bastianallgeier.com, @mikekus.bsky.social, Oliver Schöndorfer and @keirwhitaker.com for their wonderful work and support! beyondtellerrand.com/blog/a-new-c...

A new chapter begins! The all-new #btconf website is here. Fresh, friendly, and full of love. Huge thanks to @mikekus.bsky.social for the design and @bastianallgeier.com for all the work bringing it to life – with @getkirby.com of course! Feels great to finally share this one. beyondtellerrand.com

The third Kirby meetup in Karlsruhe is happening tomorrow. If you're in the area, don't miss it: kirby-ka.carrd.co. Registration for our meetup in Berlin at beyond tellerrand next week is now also open: www.meetup.com/kirby-cms-co...

45% of all AI answers had at least one significant issue. 31% of responses showed serious sourcing problems – missing, misleading, or incorrect attributions. 20% contained major accuracy issues, including hallucinated details and outdated information. www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/...

Could be my confirmation bias, but it seems like the AI hype is crumbling. I see more critical or at least more realistic comments from people who have been part of the hype before. The bubble is also becoming more obvious, which definitely helps. Feels a lot like the trough of disillusionment.

How to completely ruin your support in three simple steps: 1. Use an AI chatbot that runs on AWS as firewall before your human support team. 2. Don't offer a secondary way to reach your support team 3. Wait for AWS outage

Rick Beato's latest video on AI is a great wake-up call for anyone who's using it to gain knowledge from a field that they don't know too well. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TiwA...

There are 4 available spots for the Kirby meetup tonight in Hamburg. Hurry up and grab a seat: luma.com/vg9pjiqr

We'd better build more AI data centers, AI will fix this problem for us -- *waits five years* The oceans have boiled and the drinking water is gone but at least all the intellectual property has been stolen and now I can use AI to create a really accurate representation of Batman fucking Pikachu

Das ist eine unfassbare Entgleisung von Friedrich Merz. Und es ist GENAU DAS, was @correctiv_org zufolge beim berüchtigten „Remigrations“-Talk in Potsdam besprochen wurde. Das parallel mit dem drolligen Vorstoß, die AfD zu bekämpfen, indem man mit ihr kooperiert. #Brandmauer?

The first time in my life, I sent a letter to the Bundeskanzler. What he and his party are doing at the moment is just disgusting. Local collaborations with the AfD, copying their claims and trying to appease their voters.

not even slightly joking when I say that sora should not exist. it should be crime for something like it to be made available without restriction to the general public. its servers should be destroyed with hammers

Our autumn meetup calendar is filling up! 🍁 📍 Hamburg, Germany • October 16 📍 Karlsruhe, Germany • October 30 📍 Berlin, Germany @ Beyond Tellerrand • November 6 📍 Bremen, Germany • November 20 All meetups are free! Please register if you plan to attend: getkirby.com/meet

We've reached the first tipping point (99% probability even if we'd manage to keep the 1.5 degree target) This means coral reefs on any meaningful scale will be lost. Nearly a billion people and a quarter of all marine life depend on them. www.leeds.ac.uk/news/article...

The majority of the tech industry has no valid vision how to contribute to a liveable future on this planet. Their dystopian fantasies don’t meet human needs. That’s why we’ll keep sliding from one bubble to the next. Everything has to be artificially inflated to hide the abyss of meaninglessness.
