I see that you noticed you had an alias with -T, so deleting my
explanation for that. :)

The block size discrepancy has a history behind it [1]. Myself, and
likely most other people, prefer 1024 byte blocks. People who have other
preferences can do either of the following:

    $ POSIXLY_CORRECT= df | head -n 1
    Filesystem     512B-blocks       Used  Available Use% Mounted on
    $ df --block-size=512 | head -n 1
    Filesystem     512B-blocks       Used  Available Use% Mounted on
