Excel, Active Directory, and to a somewhat lesser degree MSSQL.

Good. This should be forced via regulations. Touchscreen controls are provably more dangerous than buttons due to the distraction.

This would be a double edged sword. Without regulation, the ISP will work in whichever way grants them the most money.

This means that they probably won't go after copyright claims unless the rightsholders pay them first, but they will ramp up data collection efforts to sell to brokerage firms and will also engage in rate-limiting on high-bandwith use cases like streaming or torrenting unless you pay extra.

"hey what if we made a cartoon entirely about the revenge fantasies of a 12 year old girl?"

"Sounds great, make it papercraft too, just to make it extra unsettling"

I have a soft spot for Bakshi movies but I haven't seen this one. I will have to check it out.

I think my favorite is Heavy Traffic. It feels like they figured out most of the production problems with Fritz by the time they made it, but still haven't run entirely out of money like with Wizards.

Probably the Toxic Crusaders, but only after watching the movie it's based on.

The cartoon itself is just another knockoff TMNT, which was the style at the time. I have no idea how someone showed a board of directors the Toxic Avenger in the early 90s and said, we should take this and make it a cartoon for children.

Wizards had the best ending of any movie I've seen to date. It just comes out of fucking nowhere.

Yes, absolutely.

The nice thing about Reddit was that if I saw a new TV show, read a new novel, or picked up a new hobby, there would be an existing community of people already talking about it. Lemmy is great, but it doesn't have the critical mass of people needed for that to be possible.

They were pretty astonished when they heard that she had installed a GPU by herself (which most people here know is trivial). Which gave her enough confidence to fix her VCR by herself.

Anyone can learn any skill if they actually invest the time.

And regarding the older brother, you learn pretty quickly working help desk that users generally don't care what the problem is or why it happened. They just want to get back to work and not have it happen again. After a while you get conditioned to just be friendly and solve the issue without explaining what you're doing or why.

Ultimately, in terms of security, you're likely to find that both are similarly good.

What makes Firefox desirable over Chrome is that it's not beng developed by massive corporation that gets the majority of its profits selling user data and delivering targeted adverts.

The other thing that may act as a deciding factor is the "MacOS doesn't have viruses" effect. Wherein that because firefox has such a small userbase in comparison to chromium, it's far more profitable to find exploits in chromium.

Well of course it errors out, you're using powershell rather than DOS
