The replies are hilarious , so many blue checks saying “abandon big tech!” while they pay for Twitter from the richest fascist in the world.

Wokeism has really gone too far when when microsoft is pushing the metric system

IMO it should mark imperial in red as totally incorrect.

Fabricated whole cloth by the French elites to satisfy their inability to perform simple arithmetic - good and proper!

Formed to be easy to use by centuries of laborers performing their work, beloved by all - verboten!

That must be why customary measurements are consistent across all cultures, since they are defined by use- hang on, I’m getting a call from the foot:

It varied in length from country to country, from city to city, and sometimes from trade to trade. Its length was usually between 250 mm and 335 mm and was generally, but not always, subdivided into 12 inches or 16 digits.

Boy I’m glad we use natural and not arbitrarily defined measurements!

As an American machinist, there is nothing I hate more than multiplying or dividing numbers by ten.

You, a soyjak: Nooooooo, we should base our measurements on the body parts of an inbred king.

Them, another soyjak: Noooooo, we should base our measurements on what a bunch of out-of-touch scientists who never picked up a hammer thought was good.

Me, a gigachad: kilofeet

Imagine being one of the wealthiest people on the planet but so desperate to feel oppressed that you do performative outrage over an app’s in-built editor giving you conversion notes for commonly used systems of measurement.

It’s literally only the US and Myanmar that don’t officially use metric, and even in the US, the military and space industry uses metric.

Yup. Well, and most scientific fields. Imperial measurements were a mistake

These blue checks saying they want to abandon big tech are in for a rude awakening when they realize people like me are more common in the open source community.

Unless they want to create Parlor OS and expose their data and lack of opsec to trans hackers again. I’m all for that.

Scheduling processes to balance out their CPU usage sounds too much like communism, so instead the processes using the most resources will be given an even bigger share, so they can use it to create jobs.

Several worms come pre-installed, because the best way to overcome viruses is through herd immunity.

Parent processes will not be able to terminate child processes, because life begins at execution.

There is only HTTP and not HTTPS to make sure you can’t visit any un-Christian websites in secret.

Multithreading sounds too much like multiculturalism, so it is not supported.

Only ASCII characters are supported, so the computer can’t communicate with China and give them our secrets.

Only available on CISC architectures, to make sure it can’t be infected by the trans agenda.

I’m imagining an autocorrect from neutral pronouns to him or her etc. and the havoc it would reap on language.

“My friends are ready, they are headed to the movie theaters.” -> “My friends are ready, him are headed to the movie theaters.”

Hope they have fun trying to deal with the sometimes ambiguous nature of English. 😆

Musky at least pretends he is an engineer. Surely he would know that engineers prefer metric.

Also, didn’t he grow up in South Africa? Which adopted the metric system in 1970?

His family is from South Africa, but Musk mostly grew up in Canada (which officially adopted metric but as we all know Canadian chuds all wish that they were American chuds).

Canada also still uses imperial for a fair few things (height, weight, apartments are in sqft) because the conversion was half-assed.
