Hey, I'm Mathias - a strategic communications and content marketing consultant based in Copenhagen, DK. I love all things storytelling (and have written and published 14 novels in my "spare" time). Let's connect!

This chart from Pew Research Center shows the level of public trust across 25 countries. There's a clear correlation between wealth and trust.

BUT, the U.S. deviates from many of its fellow rich nations:

"While the U.S. has the highest per-capita gross domestic product (GDP) of the countries surveyed, the share of Americans who say most people can be trusted is similar to that in less wealthy nations like Indonesia and Spain."

LibreOffice question (on MacOS):

- I want to easily switch between docs but using the UI, not keyboard shortcuts.
- But I can't see a way to add this functionality within LibreOffice.
- Only option is to go into the Window menu and manually click the document I want to switch to. Which is pretty cumbersome.

Hope you can help! πŸ™

Found this #socialmedia explainer from a conference while cleaning up my old photos. Not bad. And I love the retro reference here to G+. Those were the days! πŸ˜†
I can’t believe how easy it is to switch to @Tutanota and its excellent apps. I’ve been frustrated by how most alternatives to Apple Mail and Apple Calendar fall short. But Tuta Mail and Calendar work so well β€” including with my own domains. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #email #calendar #ios #macos #apple #EUAlternatives
After much testing and twiddling, I've landed on @joplinapp for my #Zettelkasten and other note-taking and #secondbrain work. πŸ₯³
Learning how to implement #Zettelkasten in @obsidian - I feel like a mad scientist who may have found the answer in the chaos. Or the spark in the dark. Or whatever. Now the real challenge: to resist the urge to fiddle and fine-tune #Obsidian until the moon is high...

Loving #MIstralAI and its #LeChat LLM chatbot - the latest version feels like a great alternative to the non-European #AI options.

Its agents are especially useful. πŸ‘ https://mistral.ai

This is where I'm at this #monday: practicing #mindfulness but thoroughly distracted by an exciting potential new #communications and #marketing project with a client... πŸ˜€

I've been having bad dreams lately. So I decided to read this horror novella. πŸ˜€

Blurb: "At first glance, Phil Pendleton and his son Adam are just an ordinary father and son, no different from any other. ... What no one knows is that Phil is a prisoner, and that up until a few weeks ago and a chance encounter at a grocery store, he had never seen the child before in his life."

Parenting as eldritch horror. After finishing it, I slept like a log, bad dreams exorcised.

I've rediscovered my #music collection (digital and CD, no cassettes, unfortunately) and the joys of pre-streaming music. Listening to music in an app that doesn't try to push its content into my face. So delightful. And I can see that this may be a slippery slope toward an old-school MP3 player... πŸ˜€ So long Spotify! πŸ‘‹
