People who are gushing over DeepSeek don't know that gpt4all exists and has completely uncensored models.

@PurpCat @KaiserKitty I swear the vast majority of them (if they are real and not paid by Microsoft) are complaining about the littlest shit. "My Bluetooth headphones didn't work", GET NORMAL, WIRED HEADPHONES YOU FUCKING SYBARITE!!!

But I'm pretty sure a huge chunk of them are Microsoft shills. Microsoft knows that they are alienating people with Windows slowly going SaaS. There is a good chance that the Linux market share might bump to 10% in the coming years. It may not be much but it's a significant dent in Microsoft's near monopoly, especially when the desktop PC has been largely phased out by smartphones. So of course, they are going to find ways to subvert it, whether that be with Drew DeVault-esque drama, spreading disinformation or negative stereotypes about Linux, or trying to EEE it by buying seats at the Linux Foundation.

@Pawlicker @beardalaxy This is why I don't think hashes are a good way to counter CSAM. Cloud storage companies are known to use hashing to arrest anyone who posses CP on their cloud accounts and people have been arrested because they had files that are in collision with CP hashes.

Also, someone could just change a single pixel value in a file in a way that it isn't even noticeable, thus giving it a completely different hash. So it's basically pointless.

@KaiserKitty I understand still being forced to use Windows for work/school (in that case just get a separate computer, if you can afford it). But there are several lame excuses such as wanting to play their games at a slightly better framerate or "Linux is for trannies". Seriously, I've seen several Poastoids refusing to use Linux because they don't want to be associated with the programming sock trannies on Mastodon.

@bonkmaykr Apparently, the different names stem from the fact that many different companies, all of the sudden, came with the idea of having removable flash storage that is accessed by USB and they all had different names for it, some of them being trademark. "Flash Drive" somehow ended up being the dominant name even though the term could technically be used for any flash-memory-based storage.

What type of series (be it books, movies, or video games) do you prefer? Would you rather have a series that could theoretically go on forever (e.g Mario, Call of Duty, etc) or a series with a definitive end-point (e.g Earthbound/Mother, most book series etc.).

@Alex I agree because you might as well call SSDs "flash drives".

Also it turns out that "jump drive" is trademarked by Lexar which is why the term is rarely used these days.

Nothing says "stuck in the 90s" more than calling flash drives "jump drives".
