--- Comment #2 from FabiB <plusf...@gmail.com> ---
JEDEC:"1 Megabyte = 1024Kilobyte" <- this is the Windows way
IEC: "1Mebibyte = 1024 Kibibyte" <- this is the linux/GNU default
SI: "1Megabyte = 1000Kilobyte" <- this is the manufactorer way
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_prefix#Standardization_of_dual_definitions
But do we need it?
contra:
* users might wonder "is it now Megabyte=1024 (the windows way) or
Megabyte=1000?"
* GNU tools any many terminal tools defaults to IEC-standard so we would see
users with "on my terminal its 3MiB but on my dolphin its 3,2MB! BUG!"
* other desktops are using IEC standard too
its kind of a good standard https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEC_60027 and for me
i cant see a good reason to support the 2 others again
