Am I dense or are most of the comments missing the point of the question?

Both minister and administrator are nouns. The question (great question really, I too suspect the english-is-three-languages-in-a-trenchcoat reason) is why the two nouns don’t follow the same pattern when their verb forms match exactly (ministrate, administrate)

After a quick search, it was Fallout 4 and Rise of the Tomb Raider, both released on Nov 10, 2015

Visa and Mastercard

It doesn’t matter if debit or credit, cards are overwhelmingly issued by one of these two

Yeah but that’s self-reported, the user has to set it on themselves.

Nothing prevents bad faith bots from just not setting it

Is he in our hearts?

Do… Do you think software on its own needs no engineering?

If I say please build me a webshop from scratch, do I need a “computer engineer” which presumingly includes hardware knowledge by your distinction? Probably not. Is a code monkey going to build me the website? Also probably not.

So somewhere inbetween the two, you probably need a position that can engineer complex pieces of computer code, along with its design and architecture - we could even call it something short, like a software engineer or something

Holy shit AIPAC stands for that? No wonder about the last few years then

(yeah I’m not american, I also only knew these by their abbreviations)

Maybe bp oil?

Boy do I have good news for you about what colorado means in Spanish

And look, using AI for code completion is not communing with the devil, but writing an advertisement for your own project with practically no human-sounding sentence… kind of is, why should we trust your project if you didn’t even put effort in your post either?

2. What this license does NOT permit

Without a separate written agreement signed by Ambient Flare, no one may:

• Use, run, deploy, host, or distribute the Software or any part of it, in original or modified form.

I’m sorry what? Are you saying this is a source available project that we cannot compile and run ourselves? Then what’s the point of source available? So that we review the code for no benefit to ourselves?

Yknow, other than the 16GB RAM (reasonable given the situation), this aint that bad, for similar specs (Ryzen 5 7600, RX 6750 XT), I paid 1100€ at most two years ago

Of course, the rest of the components also matter, as well as the VRAM difference, but could be worse anyhow

The Xbox Series S was also ‘up to’ 4K, so I guess this is expexted, but still I wish manufacturers took their plausible deniability advertisements a bit more seriously…

Heh, a single Z, how apt

It’s an older meme sir, but it checks out

For startup costs, ~80€ for a used micro PC a few years back (+100€ for a 1TB SSD for it).

Since then

• 6€/yr domain
• 48€/yr email (proton plus using domain above)
• I’m thinking of setting up Backblaze B2 for offsite backup, should be ~20€/yr for about 250GB stored continuously if I calculated right

I never bothered with electricity costs, since it’s a small micro PC. It probably uses sub 20W average, which, next to an AC, fridge, and WFH costs, has to be negligible, the cost of buying a measuring device in itself is probably not worth it

Given that there’s an acknowledgement of the tool in a 1996 article, the software may even be older than sex itself

Also what a time capsule this page is lol, nothing wrong with it really… just a relic of a different era

That was quite a refreshing article, and so… human, probably the biggest compliment nowadays.

People love open source software not because it’s free, but because it is open. That openness brings all sorts of benefits

And I really love this quote from it, I stopped to think for a bit about it, but yeah. Being open and trusting the source is waay more important than being free monetarily

Wow ‘can’t keep pace’ is a mild way of putting it, the article says an RX 6600 XT gets on average 3x as much FPS in Cyberpunk as this flagship card (~240 vs 80) :D

Still, everything has to start somewhere, and I’m always happy for potentially more competitors in the market, that only helps us consumers

Well, yknow, there’s the whole israel thing

And even the article’s thumbnail has an israeli flag, who would have thought people might have issues with that…
