Nothing like the beauty of windows having a modern UI with a hard drive icon drawn by some intern in 1998

I like my partners like I like my filesystems.
FAT and 32.
Well, I'm glad its 32, and not the ones previous
Your taste in partners is as bad as your taste in filesystems. Who uses FAT32 in 2023? At least use NTFS
Who uses FAT32 in 2023?
Any EFI partition?
Why would anybody use NTFS? btrfs ftw. Also all EFI partitions are FAT. And lastly, if you want a USB stick to be portable across operating systems, FAT is still the way to go

Specifically, she wants to mount the D:.
And then you ask for the C: and they block you on tinder.
My aunts friends are so angry sometimes.
She wants the scared and amazed face? I don't get it.
Dick. the Dick. D: is usually where the external hard drive is mounted when you only have a single drive, which is usually C.

I went to the comments to ask if she meant ext3 or ext4 but after a moment I figured it was just external abbreviation.. Made a lot more sense 😅
I don't know what is wrong with my NTFS harddrive. Why do you insist on having EXT?
Because ext supports proper access rights from actual operating systems.
I GNU you were gonna say that, sick burn dude
Akshually
NTFS is also posix compatible. If - for some unimaginable reason - you want to use an NTFS drive with linux only, you can set permissions, but it will break Windows compatibility. More info here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/11840/how-do-i-use-chmod-on-an-ntfs-or-fat32-partition#74851
Of course windows does not properly support the one disk format they use. I did even use NTFS for a while cause the ntfs-3g driver has an option to force lowercase. Now I have upgraded to EXT4 with case folding.
I can't be certain they mean the filesystem or if she's asking for the external drive, which for many people is the D drive. Also that it can be passed around implies it's external too. Cause who only has one drive formatted as ext?

nah, D: is obviously your secondary internal drive for storage, because C: is an ssd for performance
she actually wants the E: 🏳️⚧️

Nope, she meant the ext4 drive mounted to /mnt/homework
Edit: spelling

It’s a micro USB drive, he flashed it and all the cheerleaders giggled
You know this one's dated because I'm pretty sure by today's standards having only a C: drive is quite unusual. Hard to find statistics on it but I'd wager most people have at least 2 storage devices, especially an SSD / HDD combo is pretty popular.
