Well, weak yen looks pretty bad for future prospects.

normies want easy starter pack with one click or tap like this

That is why Mastodon is hard to get mainstream because not everyone wants extra effort to do this. Even, Twitter, threads and bluesky much better to filter their language content

I already toggle the Mastodon settings to ensure that I got the feeds to the language I want (I want English only) and I still got feeds on different languages such as German and French

Language filter in bluesky is much better than Mastodon as well

if your work requires CUDA then nvidia is the only option

yeah that is why I enjoy much more on bluesky lately because we have customised feed (especially for you which is very similar like X), good engagement, good language filter and ease of use for signup and usage.

while X is getting pretty bad lately. this is a sanest choice because mastodon is difficult for noobs and threads algorithm is pretty bad lately.
