Very funny that Google decided to increase the cost of every search by probably at least an order of magnitude and this is the garbage they get in return

I should learn Mandarin

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.

Love how confused it gets with drawing parking spots

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

Cheap source of calories/filler?

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

Also, and just out of interest, is your government still using “prisoner’s of conscience” as an organ donor pool

Funny you say that

I’ve never had a problem with them and I really like the Facebook container feature for when I have to use Messenger to contact friends

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

Great username

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