e621 does not seem to be IEEE 1541-2002 compliant.

Oh no. What ever will the internet community think of us. For shame.

1 KB = 1000 B
1 KiB = 1024 B

How many gibis of pony porn are there on e621?

About 39 .

Does anyone take this seriously?

no

Then again, pendrive manufacturers' marking isn't IEEE 1541-2002 compliant, so why bother.

Because using KB instead of KiB may lead some people to believe that one kilogram is 1024 grams.

We should totally use Kigis instead of regular Kilograms.
This would make it even less likely that the Americans will use them someday.

Binary prefixes can be useful outside of bits and bytes, so it makes sense for them to have their own dedicated prefixes.

I think it would be a good idea if e621 displayed sizes in KiB / MiB / GiB / etc.

Kg is kilograms.

Neither is your mom and I haven't heard any complaints about that.

I asked a question to my mom and her answer makes me think she is not compliant. You are probably right about my mom.

I have no idea what's going on, so here is a lewd snivy

What i meant is that people sometimes get confused.

And what you do is politely explain to them that some people feel uncomfortable in gender-conformant clothing, and that it's okay if that person over there wants to wear a dress all the time, even if it is a bit gauche to wear white after labor day.

I have nothing against crossdressing, in fact, i would do it. But this thread is not about clothing, it is about measurement.

Well it's impolite to ask about others' measurements. That's really a matter between folks and their tailors.

It's kind of unrelated but whenever there's a BDSM image with, say a weight attached to testicles saying 25 Lbs, can we add notes converting that to kilograms?
Asking for a friend.

There are real people that willingly use GiB over GB and et cetera?

I genuinely have never seen anyone use GiB, MiB etc. in my entire life until I saw the op use MiB in another thread. And I have been attending annually past 10 years to an event where bunch of obscure computer nerds crawl out of their caves to nerd together, and yet I have seen none of them use those.

So if I had to guess, this is a formality literally nobody in this entire planet cares about except for handful of level 100 nerds.

As a transflash USBee I find it offensive when people refuse to use a datafile's preferred binary prefix.

I am #5 combo with fries and a large coke compliant

My middle toe on my left foot is OMG-1337 compliant

Large by European (1 liter) or American (1 gallon) standards?

I'm joining OP in protesting this lack of IEEE 1541-2002 compliance.

For example, post #1624714 is listed as 267.9 KB, but it should actually be 274.4 KB.

For files measured in megabytes the error in the value is almost 5%. So a file purporting to be 95 MB on e621 is actually about 99.6 MB.

One solution would be to have it display the corrected 1280x1280 (274.4 KB), and display 267.9 KiB or the exact 274,357 bytes in mouse over text.

How bad is the Stats page? There's only 2 significant digits there. If it is 2.1499999 TiB for the whole site rounded down to 2.1, then there's about 2.36395 terabytes on the site, not 2.1 terabytes. That's a 264 gigabyte potential discrepancy.

Yes, I am level 100.

Standards are real people! And if we just go breaking them willy nilly, the internet police will come and give e621 a stern talking to.

I am in favor of changing the file size to be in accordance with the standard, either by changing to KiB/MiB/GiB or changing the value displayed to match the KB/MB/GB.

And don't get me started on people measuring internet speed in megabytes.

Excuse me? I'll have you know I'm actually a member of ISO/TC 12 and ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 32 in Switzerland and this blatant disregard for ISO 80000-13:2008 ("Quantities and units — Part 13: Information science and technology"/"Grandeurs et unités — Partie 13: Science et technologies de l'information"), more specifically Section 4 ("Prefixes for binary multiples"/"Préfixes pour les multiples binaires") is something I find extremely distasteful, and we have been discussing with Google, CloudFlare, Amazon and Microsoft to make it so any website incorrectly making use of these units are immediately terminated without notice, starting 2019-11-01 at midnight UTC. Your site is currently on the list of violators and will be permanently unlisted from all DNS records if you do not adjust your interface to comply with this reglementation by that deadline.

You're fucking dead, kiddo.

I've only ever used it involuntarily because I couldn't figure out how to change it.
