📈 DuckDB 1.4.0 is out! This is our first LTS release which comes with *one year of community support*. It also supports database encryption, the MERGE SQL statement and Iceberg writes. For more details, read the announcement blog post at duckdb.org/2025/09/16/a...

I really wish there was a way to make #opensource again without money and greed poisoning everything. We're just as strong as the weakest link and this washed out culture of calling everything open for marketing puts our society at great risk. Humans must fight to save opensource from extinction.

The open-core as "enterprise" gateway drug trick abusing #opensource labels for VC gains is officially about to be over. What used to take years to write now takes hours and filling the gap between "open core" and "enterprise" features using LLMs is very possible as long as the license allows it ..🧵

Clickhouse adds experimental support for Iceberg writing after everyone else did and their "glory shot" confirms they no longer care about performance in their opencore subproduct

In terms of DuckDB Community Extensions statistics, it seem 400-500 downloads/month is basically the zero line (builders, CI, etc?) above which you see real users. There's a big difference between extensions used by a few dozens and few thousands but unfortunately the stats don't tell us where from

Due to stupid regulations, E-Step scooters (aka no pedals) are basically illegal in the Netherlands. But luckily a company named Selana has solved this huge problem! FOR JUST 1900 EUROS you can get a shitty legal scooter with a tag and mirror. What a steal!!! In pre-oder because its NEW TECH 🤣🤣🤣
