Most people, no matter the place.

A lot if people are surprised when they discover that 100 + 50% - 59% is not 100.

I do not like percentages myself, I would prefer we say 0.8 of something because the option becomes a simple multiplication and it is easier not to make mistakes

Most people. They teach doctors to use frequency representations (i.e. 12 of 100) for a reason.

In many places in Europe: Normal price per item big letters, price per Kg small letters. Problem solved

I've seen the "unit price" be per 100g (Especially so you don't notice it's a ton of money per kg) so there's still some screwing around...

Sure but multiplying by ten to get the price per kilo shouldn't be the most complicated thing for even those folks that aren't math savy. It means to move the decimal point (or comma) one place to the right IIRC.

If you had to convert from arms to legs or feet like in certain areas of the world, that might be much harder, of course.

I prefer prices per 100g because I mostly buy food that's under one kilo. I'm sure they show prices per 100g just to make them look cheaper but in my case I actually prefer it this way.

It doesn't even matter what unit is chosen as long as it is kept the same across.

Comparing Smarties to M&Ms is super easy if both have to use price per pound, price per oz, price per g or price per kg. Who cares if the price per kg would be $0.031.as long as I can see it's $0.028 for the other for the same unit without doing math.

Ah, sensible internationally recognized easy to divide units of weight? No thank you comrade!

Australia too.

Comparable unit-pricing: A mandate brought to you by the European Union. You know, this allegedly evil entity that always hassles with the free market and annoys global companies. /s

Whilst I am waiting for my number in a chemist, I kill time by finding the highest price per litre. It's normally some anti-aging cream at well over €1000 / l.

This is not just EU, in our here Middle Eastern country there's the same law. (And also mandatory "high sugar" warning stickers on unhealthy stuff.)

Customer-friendly regulation sure feels nice.

> and annoys global companies

Lol... Meta is doing a huge campaign here in Brazil about how they won't provide us their AI services because they are annoyed by that entity.

It has been quite a help to the government popularity.

In Europe Apple follows the same strategy, but in a more subtle way than a full campaign.

And sadly, it seems they found some audience...

The same with this "metric system"

And the sad time has come: We need an "Unmeta Firefox" now

You have needed to unmozilla for a long time, the amound of settings you have to disable to stop the data exfiltration is insane.

Look at Greek composer and researcher Halaris also

If they don't fix the Linux issue, like steam does, no money from me.

Something like a BIM architecture app will be a good idea. Blender makes some progress on this, but an architect or a civil engineer needs an architect gui.

I also hope some day the blender UI becomes a separate gui toolkit for non graphics app. Like a file manager

And unlikely to fail during the warranty period. But Ideally, stop working 1 week after warranty ends.

The people that makes distro without systemd have users that scan the filesystem and get crazy if they found the name systemd in the filesystem. I can say the same for the devs also. So we have hardcore-hate distros that "liberates" packages and the dependency of the unused library. Better give that time to make the distro better imho

There is something similar in Greece
