[00:02:12] bigfatnoob heather may i ask why we chose exfat?

[00:02:31] bigfatnoob Is exFAT a special format for bootable/Live linux thumb drives?

[00:02:54] bigfatnoob i'm using mint :) . you know why?

[00:03:03] bigfatnoob answer: because i'm a bigfatnoob

[00:03:35] bigfatnoob it's nice to be free of windows :)

[00:04:25] bigfatnoob heather, do we have to set the USB thumb drive to hybrid mode? Smeone says setting it to "hybrid mode" makes it boot more like a hdd

[00:05:37] bigfatnoob okay.

[00:06:04] bigfatnoob not sure how our way is inconvenient. seems very convenient to me :)

[00:06:23] bigfatnoob very simple, that's for sure. just click "mount as iso" and drag-drop.

[00:11:09] bigfatnoob okay, if this method doesn't work, i'll visit a friend and install mint the way mint suggests (using balena's etcher)

[00:11:30] bigfatnoob but i'd rather not ask for help from ppl i know. idon't want them to know i use linux

[00:11:41] bigfatnoob it gives "nerd vibes"

[00:12:01] bigfatnoob :)

[00:12:10] bigfatnoob undercover nerd

[00:12:53] bigfatnoob it's really cool if you have a billion dollar startup like Facebook or Insta or etc

[00:13:03] bigfatnoob but yeah, you're right

[00:13:09] bigfatnoob it's not like it was in the past

[00:14:36] bigfatnoob why are you jealous about?

[00:14:43] bigfatnoob *what

[00:15:22] bigfatnoob oh, you wish you were young (again) at this time of history?

[00:16:17] bigfatnoob i see

[00:17:31] bigfatnoob End3r are you also "[3]"?

[00:17:52] bigfatnoob are you a moderator too?

[00:18:09] bigfatnoob oh, wow, you created this?

[00:19:00] bigfatnoob ah, Founder :)

[00:19:16] bigfatnoob registered in June 13 2021

[00:19:26] bigfatnoob i thought this would have been registered 20 years ago

[00:19:54] bigfatnoob i see.

[00:22:14] bigfatnoob i wonder the proportion of ppl in this channel who don't work with computers at work.

[00:22:47] bigfatnoob like it would be amusing if someone says they're a cowboy in the daytime

[00:23:37] bigfatnoob and had linux as a hobby?

[00:24:35] bigfatnoob heather, true. but usually things go together. like ppl who have body modifications are more likely (than those without) to have tattoos

[00:24:42] bigfatnoob or at least that's what I suspect

[00:26:05] bigfatnoob i wonder the proportion of ppl on linux who are introverts . my guess is 90%

[00:27:11] bigfatnoob heather, i don't know how you look like or whether you're a man or woman

[00:27:21] bigfatnoob i'm using https://webchat.freenode.net/

[00:27:33] bigfatnoob because i'm a bigfatnoob. lol

[00:28:29] bigfatnoob this is what i see https://imgur.com/a/1Ujyzkh

[00:29:01] bigfatnoob on irccloud you can upload a profile photo?

[00:30:28] bigfatnoob i'm gonna eat a juicy steak when i get home

[00:30:32] bigfatnoob and maybe some pizza

[00:30:35] bigfatnoob my 2 faves

[00:31:02] bigfatnoob i'm in pacific coast and i eat when i return home from wherever i am

[00:31:10] bigfatnoob i don't like to be home in the daytime because i get lonely

[00:31:32] bigfatnoob my first meal of the day. :)

[00:31:39] bigfatnoob i skip breakfast and lunch usually

[00:31:50] bigfatnoob i overeat though

[00:32:27] bigfatnoob is breakbeats a typo for breakfast? coz google says it's a word

[00:33:37] bigfatnoob i had lentil soup last week. a chef made it. so good

[00:34:13] bigfatnoob curry flavored if i recall

[00:34:44] bigfatnoob does anybody here use apple too?

[00:34:54] bigfatnoob I don't because I'm a poornoob

[00:36:19] bigfatnoob heather which of my sentences says "i'm single" ? that i was gonna eat steak and pizza? or...?

[00:37:30] bigfatnoob how come this general linux has just 174? I would expect a thousand since it's an "umbrella" group

[00:37:39] bigfatnoob 174 chatters

[00:37:54] bigfatnoob dr says don't do drugs :)

[00:38:31] bigfatnoob i'm scared of it

[00:39:04] bigfatnoob Dr says "do drugs" . ha ha

[00:39:21] bigfatnoob it helps with your ailments i guess.

[00:40:02] bigfatnoob married ppl don't eat pizza with steak?

[00:40:15] bigfatnoob because of the expense?

[00:40:52] bigfatnoob yeah, i should eat better

[00:40:57] bigfatnoob the pizza is a one-off

[00:41:04] bigfatnoob the steak is a regular thing

[00:41:07] bigfatnoob (i love meat)

[00:41:25] bigfatnoob i have a mattress without the elasticized cover

[00:41:48] bigfatnoob oh, actually, my mattress doesn't have a bedframe or headboard either

[00:41:59] bigfatnoob it's on a folding cot

[00:42:11] bigfatnoob yikes, i match your stereotype

[00:42:23] bigfatnoob good thing i have no visitors (except one)

[00:42:42] bigfatnoob all men do what?

[00:42:59] bigfatnoob my one exception was a friend who did some major decluttering for me
