The D

The D: is a CD-ROM. Geez!
Dang whippersnappers.
- Nothing like the beauty of windows having a modern UI with a hard drive icon drawn by some intern in 1998
- No, CD-ROM is /dev/sr0
  
  Bah! This is clearly a windows meme! Take it back to c/linux!
  (I'm over there too)
  
  Only correct answer, I don't know what this whole letter business is... Dang kids
  
  No, CD-ROM is /cdrom
  
  Thats the dvd rom
- I give you an A. A for floppy.
  
  What about the B drive?
- CDs nuts
  
  Gottemmm
- Omg… it depends on your input port grandpa! Please take your pills your saying that stuff again!

I like my partners like I like my filesystems.
FAT and 32.
- Well, I'm glad its 32, and not the ones previous
- I like em like I like my encryption. Old and already cracked.
  
  I like them like I like my passwords. Short and insecure.
- 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
  
  Everything uses FAT32. ATMs, the fare machine on transit systems, the sorting system at your post office, traffic lights, nuclear power control systems. Literally everything that isn't a Unix, MacOS, or a Windows machine uses FAT32. All that stuff has worked for decades and will probably keep working for decades more.
- I prefer them to be exFAT.
- My time to shine.
- Old and simple but chance for data loss?
- Hmm, that's better fo sho, tho a bit of extra fat don't hurt

She wants the /dev/sdb
- /dev/nvme1n1p1
  
  Please teach me how to connect an external drive over NVMe
  
  /dev/mmcblk0
  
  Why do you have a second namespace on your external drive?
- This is correct. 🐧

My mind immediately went to ext as in ext4 the filesystem
- Then u realized why ur still a virgin?
  
  You misspelled Giga-Chad
  
  I'm not because I use btrfs 😎

There's only one D I recognize.
- o7
- Ncc1701 no bloody, c, no bloody d, and no bloody e
  
  A gets a pass though. All the style of the original with better looking nacelles.

clearly ask for an EXT formatted drive
get an NTFS formatted drive
Wtf.
- ExtFAT

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.

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
  
  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?
- I don’t know what is wrong with my NTFS harddrive.
  Having a NTFS partition is what's wrong with your hard drive.
  
  Can confirm, my NTFS hardrive broke every week on my server. Unfortunately that is my only hard drive so I cannot format it without loosing all the data.

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

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.
  
  And you normally put your dick in the external hard drive?
  
  Back in my day D was where your CD-ROM drive was mounted. Ya young whipasnappa.
- She wants the sdcard and amazon fare? I dont get it.

She wants the D: but he's just got a 3.5 inch floppy.
- This is the real joke

low tier windows users : the D
chad linux enjoyer : Basic Data Partition
- If it got BTRFS, then one can simply say "pass me the butter"
  
  This is not innuendo, I literally just want that data storage device, butterface.
- She wants the /dev/sdb

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

My coworker used to ask me this. Like JESUS CHRIST, WE'RE AT WORK, STOP ASKING.
- This. When they ask for the D (drive) just shut up and pull the D (drive) out. How hard is that!?
  
  Very hard, but only if I like them already

i use btrfs which ext is that
- Ext5?

It’s a micro USB drive, he flashed it and all the cheerleaders giggled

You know, this could be a pretty funny Linux joke, but the comic had to ruin it with some cringey dick joke.

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.
- Would such an SSD be reliable?

THIS IS JUST A TRIBUTE
(I don't know, you guys said she wants the D)
- Kidnap the D the speaker the conduct
  —Opening crawl of Star War The Third Gathers: Backstroke of the West

Why would she want the (😮)?

My honest reaction
D:

This comic was ahead of its time. Back when it was written, optical disc drives were still common, so an external drive would be E: or higher. Now, though, it's actually realistic.

and that’s how she got pregnant….

I have never met a female who seemed to be aware of what really is, at least other than "the part that stores stuff".
I'm not even trying to say I wanna date or be friends with one. That isn't a trait that's necessary at all. I know they exist, I've seen articles written by them and such. But I've never met one familiar with how a computer works at all.
I'd love to meet one just to prove to myself they're real. I want to believe... I mean I already know, but my brain just doesn't believe til it sees anymore.
