When I open gnome disk utility it shows disk capacities in decimal. Is there a way to make it so that it displays disk sizes in binary? I'm running gnome 3.22.1 on Debian sid.

    Not unless you patch the source code afaik (basically you have to [reverse this patch](https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-disk-utility/commit/src?id=9f4bd12b3842d1bc30d458de378517de8941ce95)) – don_crissti Nov 10 '16 at 21:57
  • @don_crissti Dammit...well that's a chore. The one thing I hate about gnome is it seems like a lot of settings don't exist or you have to use dconf to get at it. – Scoopta Nov 12 '16 at 20:06
  • @don_crissti alright will do. Why are people moving to units of 10? Computers are base 2 machines by nature. It pisses me off as it is having disks sold in base 10. I think it's dumb. – Scoopta Nov 12 '16 at 20:16
  • @don_crissti it's Linux? Is there anyone using it who doesn't know base 2? – Scoopta Nov 12 '16 at 20:19
  • @don_crissti yep I totally get that. Except windows, at least windows 7, measures in base 2 anyway. Not 10 – Scoopta Nov 12 '16 at 20:23
