For folks feeling the #ai #fomo (fear of missing out), here's an interesting article on BuzzFeed getting in early on AI and riding it from $3 per share to $15 per share to $0.70 per share.

For collegues who feel they urgently need to investigate AI, I have some expertise and I am here to help.

But please do remember that I still get paid whether your bet on AI pays off or not.

I can advise you, but we should both remember that I am not actually taking the risk with you.

And no, I won't be accepting offers of equity in lieu of cash, at this time, obviously.

I must have missed the memo on this ... but how is everybody doing that purple code block thing on here?

So, die #Instagram App ist gelöscht. In ein paar Wochen werde ich nochmal reinschauen, ob ich irgendwas verpasse. Den Account will ich eigentlich auch loswerden. Aber ihr kennts ja - #FOMO… Nur die Musikprojekte krieg ich da nicht weg, wegen @basspunk trau ich mich nicht, die Präsenz komplett aufzugeben…

Social media has become toxic on some platforms including X, Facebook, Instagram, Tik Tok and Substack. Why do people and governments keep using them? Some interesting views. #socialmedia #toxic #FOMO https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/feb/14/toxicity-social-media-ethical-racism-misogyny-far-right

So, #Gorillaz described people being hooked on their smartphones/social media 2005 already:
"You got a new horizon, it's ephemeral style
A melancholy town where we never smile
And all I wanna hear is the message beep
My dreams, they got a kissing
'Cause I don't get sleep, no"

#YSK #FediTipps
① Use a close-to-api Mastodon client https://github.com/tateisu/SubwayTooter
② React to popular toots on @trendytoots, @trending, https://fedi.buzz and on that explore page of your instance
③ If your instance is too small, follow Hashtags + Instances via https://relay.fedi.buzz
④ Put slow followees in a separate list
⑤ Stick with one mindset and one topic per account
⑥ Get attention by posting pics; follow many; use #HashTags; mention users and groups (https://piefed.social/communities); use CW, alt text, proper language
⑦ Instead of repeating links, search for them (without https://) and boost earlier posts
⑧ You don't push posts with ★. They are just public bookmarks. (Yes, everypody can see who starred a post.) Boost or reply instead. You can boost your own toots for more occurances in the public TL
⑨ Prefer replying over citing with permalinks

Feeling a bit envious not being in Amsterdam this week for the #CIDOC2024 conference at the Rijksmuseum. Wishing everyone attending an insightful experience #FOMO #CulturalHeritage #CIDOCCRM #LinkedArt

"Eigentlich wollte ich ja nichts machen."

Häufigster Satz beim Pitchen für die Open Spaces beim #lsconnect24
