Stop putting QR code on your posters in the city. I don’t have my phone with me. When I have it, I don’t want to open it. When it is open, I don’t want to scan random stuff. Just put the information on the posters. The date, the place, the price. Write them ! Add an URL to your website. One I could memorize, note down or even recognize later. And no instagram/facebook. I want the information, not "follow". You are not cool, you are simply losing a huge part of your potential audience.
I believe that my new novel #bikepunk would really please Dutch and Flemish people (like @Jan Vlug 🌱 🐷 🤍❤️🤍 💙💛 ) Is there any science-fiction Dutch-speaking publisher that would be interested by a collaboration with @npub1ynh2...l5ee my Swiss publisher ? As a Belgian, I would really love to see a Dutch translation of the book. Please spread the word ! (publishers in any other languages are, of course, more than welcome.

10 years ago, I spent 70€ to buy the procrastinat.io domain. I planned to make something funny out of it. I had plenty of idea. It ended expiring without pointing to anything meaningful…
Me: I’m not on Whatsapp, Facebook, X nor Instagram. Them: But how… Me:
The Fediverse allows you to reach real people who care. Commercial social network allows you to get (fake) vanity metrics against money. When a person, an institution or a company tells you that "Mastodon is not working" or "There are not enough people on Mastodon", what they are truly saying is what they are looking for. And is not to reach real people who care.
#Mozilla has announced that they are closing their Mastodon instance. But at least, they are hiring a lot, which is nice. Like: - Machine Learning Engineer, Gen AI - Principal Product Manager, Generative AI - Staff Machine Learning Engineer, Gen AI - … Wait, are they hiring for something else than AI ? Glad you asked: - Senior Staff Software Engineer, Ads - Client Analytics Manager - Product Policy Manager, Ads - …

We have a mighty mandate, serving hundreds of millions of people. Add a culture of exploration, and there is always a new way to learn and grow here.
Do you remember we joked how each year was successively awful with COVID, wars, flood, fires, etc Well, I’ve just learned that there will be a "This is Spinal Tap II" next year so 2025 will officially be awesome.
Pfiou, il a eu chaud Macron. Avec Lucie Castets, il a cru un moment qu’il serait forcer à faire des trucs inacceptables comme la revalorisation du service public et la lutte contre la corruption. Mais tout est bien qui finit bien. On va revenir aux fondamentaux : casser du pédé en traitant les pauvres d’assistés.
En Belgique, on vote puis tous les partis prétendent avoir gagné. Pendant des mois, ça discute de coalitions pour former un gouvernement. Parfois même avant les prochaines élections. En France, c’est plus facile. Les Français·e·s votent puis on balance les urnes à la mer sans les ouvrir et c’est le président de la république qui nomme un premier ministre.
2021: — Come to Mastodon. — No, It’s too complicated. 2022: — Leave Twitter and come to Mastodon, it’s easy now. — People I want to follow are not there. 2023: — Leave X and come to Mastodon, here are the accounts you want to follow. — They have less engagement. 2024: — Leave X and come to Mastodon, here are the accounts you want to follow with more engagement than on X. — I’m on Bluesky now. There’s not a lot of people nor engagement, it was a bit hard to sign up but I like it.
