Chrome is just a name. It runs on Chromium which is a Google product and open source. Many browser alternatives out there use Chromium under the hood. The point I’m making is that it’s going to be tough to find something not Chromium based that will have all of the features and compatibility that you expect, which makes it tough to recommend other browsers. Firefox and Safari are two that are their own thing, and generally supported, so there’s a start.

YOU KNOW WHAT? THE EASTER BUNNY’S NOT REAL! OVER THERE, THATS JUST A GUY IN A SUIT!

A schooner is a sailboat, stupid head.

Thank you!

Thank you so much! I was in good with my company’s IT and the IT Manager told me the same thing. I will take what I can get, but will try for an MSP. Is there a specific job type to look for to find them or just look for help desk or support tech and review the company to figure out if it’s a MSP?

I know about Dice, LinkedIn, Indeed, and I live in Chicago so maybe Built In?

I’m doing Coursera/Google’s IT Support Tech program for their certs while I read the Mike Meyers exam guide and also supplement with Professor Messer.

Awesome! Thank you for this explanation. So it’s mostly just because it’s a redundancy and specific to a certain distro (Ubuntu in this case)?

I don’t use Linux either, but a quick bit of research tells me it’s like an App Store and software that is specific to Linux. It allows for ease of installing/uninstalling programs but it can can run slow, seems redundant to what flatpaks already does, and isn’t fully fleshed out which leads to weird errors.

I’m guessing it’s because Linux is more hands on and this takes some agency away from users who feel like it might hurt privacy?

That’s what I’m reading anyway. Someone who is more familiar can correct me if I am off base.

Yeah buddy! That’s on my list of things to learn (see my response ITT) as well.

Understanding computers and networking. I’m so far away from truly understanding it all, but I’m working on studying for the A+ exams so I can get the basics for entry into an IT field. All of this is so interesting to me and I genuinely love learning it!

I worked in marketing, specifically SEO, for the past 9 years. I’m sick of it/Google’s bullshit, and I want to change to a career where I can do some tech work and help people solve problems.

I was at a pumpkin patch 25 minutes out of Chicago on Saturday and there was a man proudly wearing a shirt with Trump on it and the shirt said, “I’m voting for the convicted felon”. His voter base does not fucking care, at all.

I loved my ‘96 ESi. I ended up getting Hahn Racecraft’s stage 2 kit for it but the head gasket ended up going. Stupid weak head gasket in the 420a.

Those 2nd gen DSMs are a beauty, but the first gens also have a really good look as well. There’s one for sale up the road from me and I’ve thought about asking about it.

The Sprite with a spear was my jam!

I’m so excited! I’m so excited! I’m so…scared!

They’re tiny, they’re toony. They’re all a little looney!

Surf ninjas!

Paper plates?

I order the club sandwich all the time, but I’m not even a member, man.

It is, but it’s also from a place of caring and genuinely wanting to help.

It’s actually an acronym which stands for Telemetry Hastening Energy Yachts.
