Or are you telling me that vastly the fastest growing platform in history with multiple payment gates (subscriptions, pay per token, licensing etc.) was not profitable

Are you not aware that 99 times out of 100 if you see a tech company rapidly growing it’s completely unprofitable and not even attempting to be profitable yet? It’s called blitzscaling and is pretty clearly what openai is attempting. Like if you see a tech company quickly growing you should be assuming it’s unprofitable until proven otherwise not the opposite lol.

Is Firefox installed as a snap package on PopOS? That could be it if that’s your only snap package. I’d recommend installing a Firefox fork that’s a regular deb package (Libre Wolf probably?) and seeing if that changes anything

Lmao isn’t Mint based on Ubuntu also? If you’re going to suggest switching distros entirely for slow loading on a single app might as well choose one that’s not derivative

Arch is like buying a Lego and putting it together versus an action figure. If you don’t enjoy putting together the Legos then what’s the point?

You should probably go with a ready to use distro

Just a no name knockoff killawatt meter, I think it was $10-15

My desktop Jellyfin/aarr stack and nextcloud server runs about 1.2kwh/day. So not bad but not free

Sounds like Israel needs some personal finance lessons.

Step 1) make a budget

Step 2) cut down on avocado toast

Step 3) stop buying bullets, bombs and missiles to indescriminately use on civilians

Incredible bit

Don’t forget learning about systemd and then immediately deciding you actually don’t like it and would prefer something else

I use PIA because it’s cheap as dirt. I don’t use their client and I have it setup so exclusively my torrent client uses it. It works for my use case because I’m pretty much just trying to avoid nasty letters from my ISP. I wouldn’t trust them with any of my regular traffic because they’re sketchy and there’s got to be a reason they’re so cheap.

Although I would consider what your usecase for a VPN is - ie what attack vectors are you trying to protect against when using it for regular traffic? There’s arguably very little a VPN does to protect you on public WiFi and also opens you up to new risks

Haha that would be Microsoft just shifting money from one pocket to the other. GitHub, Azure and (effectively) OpenAI are all Microsoft

Jellyfin app (at least for Android) can play in external video players.

Shouldn’t need one if you trust your seedbox provider to not log. And even if you don’t trust them you’d need to find a VPN to trust more and they’re almost all super sketchy.
