  • If you take the stair down from the ground floor, the second floor you see is the basement top level. Do you call that the second floor then? Is the order of floors decided by the first guy that walked into the building with floor numbers (after they forgot the 0 sign ofc). Does the floor numbering for each building depend on whether they wanted to start upwards or downwards that day?

    Your ‘first floor you see’ way of thinking only holds up for the ground floor. Meanwhile just pure rational (mathematical even) +/- X from ground floor is logic all the way around

    I will never accept the first floor as being the second floor.

    The ground floor is the ground floor. It is the same level as where you enter and every other floor is relatively up or down from it.

    Most of the time I don’t care what conventions people use. No system of measurements is right or wrong, it’s all a matter of what you’re raised with. But this is one of those cases where the convention used by a lot of people is simply wrong and I won’t accept it.

    The right three systems make sense, the first two are so un-logical they should be banned.













  • You (the end user) decide how you want to use the internet. The forks you’re probably angry about are the ‘hardened forks’, but whether or not you care about their goals and want to use those is a choice only you can make. Most of what they do is basically change some default configs and remove some ‘bad’(according to the maintainers and the users) features.

    There’s also forks like zen that under the hood use firefox, but customize the user experience significantly.
