Comment on Ubuntu Will Switch To Base-10 File Size Units In Future Release

Comments

I don't really care whether base-10 or base-2 is used to measure data as long as it's standard for all hardware and software.

It's way too late for that. Networks and hard disks have been using base 10 and software has been using base 2 for decades. IMO Ubuntu has magnified the confusion now that some software uses base 2 and some uses base 10.
