gollark: My site is ad-free even though I could undoubtedly make an entire $0.10 off it if I monetized it.
gollark: > I dont and will never understand why people give enough of a shit about people being trans to actually go and complain online ectThe general thing is that some people/groups see some things people do as actively against their moral system in some way. You should probably be able to understand that.
gollark: If people kept mixing them up, it would *basically* destroy civilization. Nobody would be able to tell exactly how much storage their drive had and drive manufacturers would ship them with slightly less capacity than they should have. It would be *anarchy*.
gollark: It should be TiB then, and it would be 256GiB. Correct unit prefixes are important!
gollark: Can they do division? It's obviously a 250GB drive.
