I couldn’t get it to install… Something about ldconfig not being in the path.

I’ll try pip later, then…

EDIT: never mind, this is a barebones version (‘lmster’) anyway.

But going back to version 0.3.39-2 (which I found here) works perfectly, so great!

EDIT AGAIN: not quite perfectly. It wouldn’t start Gemma 4 giving an error about its architecture. Seems like it’s too new a model? I’m now trying 0.4.6-1 and this version does run Gemma 4.

You mean the Debian installer? Seems like a bad idea on OpenSUSE.

EDIT: looking in the bug reports on Github, I’ve found a very recent bug report identical to what I’ve described, so it doesn’t seem to be isolated at least.

It detects my hardware at least, but for whatever reason the Hub is empty and I can’t download the default Jan model… But it works when I import the models manually.

Thanks for the tips. How do I go about doing this? What I’ve tried is run LM Studio from the console with --no-sandbox. No idea if that has something to do with what you’re referring to.

I’ve also tried running it with sudo, which gives this error message:

It’s still interesting to analyse them like the cultural products they are.

This doesn’t have anything to do with language acquisition by babies, though. Spelling is a completely different subject than natural, spoken, language, and obviously not something babies will come into contact with.

No language is easy to learn for people who never grew up with it (as in, it always takes effort), and every language has quirks. You’re arguing for it being hard to learn a language - this is true - not for English being uniquely hard.

But relatively speaking, whether a language is easy or hard to learn largely depends on the languages you know already, especially as your mother tongue. Dutch is very close to English, and English has borrowed a lot of French vocabulary, so if you know those languages you will not have too hard of a time learning English. To someone who only knows Mandarin, English (and French, and Dutch) will obviously be completely foreign, in everything: grammar, vocabulary and syntax.

I’d have guessed emperor Wilhelm II, but it seems to just be a German officer.

Great choice. I love his pictures, they look so good, it’s as if he had traveled back in time with a digital camera.

My desktop PC ran Windows 10 and didn’t have the magic Windows 11 chip. I tried to do some easy things to get it to recognise my PC as having that chip anyway, but it didn’t work, and I was a bit afraid it’d run like shit with 11 anyway.

So I just decided to try something different and install Linux. First on an old little laptop I had lying around. I tried Mint first, then OpenSUSE - the first because it was supposed to be easy to newcomers, the latter because it’s German (and I liked the way it felt when I tried it on my laptop).

After trying it for a bit, I just decided I’d install it on my desktop as I didn’t want to use Windows 10 without security updates anyway. I’ve now been using OpenSUSE Leap for about half a year, and I’m quite happy.

Ah, alright then. I thought I could use YaST’s GUI, but then I just need to do it using the terminal.

Isn’t it possible to make a manual snapshot?

It worked, so thank you!

I don’t read anything about that being the recommended method, but I’ll give it a shot and try that tomorrow, then.

I don’t watch anime, but I do prefer subs when watching foreign language media (which is a huge percentage as a Dutchman).

For English of course I don’t need translation, and not for German either. But for languages I don’t know, I just like hearing those other languages and the voices of the actual people talking, not some (often janky) Dutch dub. In Dutch you don’t generally have a choice anyway, though. Dubs are really only made for children who can’t read yet.

But I’d like to add that the quality of subtitles, particularly how they are timed, is very important. If the subtitles are just sentence by spoken sentence, they are essentially useless as you will have to keep reading to understand what’s being said. Proper subtitles also go somewhat ‘into the future’, so after quickly reading the subtitles, you know what will be said and can listen to the actual actors.

When it comes to nostalgia, my favourite game is a 90’s German demo of the DOS version of the original Command & Conquer.

„Jawohl, Sir!”; „Bestätigt!”.

The soldiers were still robots there, too, because of German law forbidding a realistic depiction of war.

The best game I’ve ever played is without a doubt Red Dead Redemption 2. I’ve never cried over a game, and with RDR2 I cried nearing the finale myself, then I cried again when I watched it being played in a let’s play series on YouTube. RDR2 is a masterpiece, plain and simple.

I’ve also never loved a fake horse as much as I’ve loved my RDR2 fake horse. Hell, I felt more attached to my horse in RDR2 than I’ve felt to 99% of characters in other games.

Fair enough.

Caps lock works the same as windows.

Capslock definitely doesn’t work the same as in Windows. If it did, I wouldn’t need to run a weird script to get it to behave like how I’m used to after more than twenty years of using Windows. I’m not the only one with this problem either (this is actually exactly the reason why someone went and made said script), nor is it only present in OpenSUSE. I’ve read it’s a general Linux thing, and I can at least say it’s on Mint as well. Interestingly (though unrelatedly) on Samsung Dex as well.

Another difference in behavior I’ve noticed is that in Windows, if you press capslock to turn it off, it does so upon pressing the key. In Linux, it does so only after releasing the key. Pretty weird.

Firefox restoring session no matter what: I’ll try that and get back to you.

No need, ikidd@lemmy.world suggested deinstalling the default Firefox installation and then installing it as a flatpak; this fixed the issue.

It seems to have done the trick, cheers! I do get the ‘Your Firefox session has closed unexpectedly, do you want to recover it?’ screen, but I read earlier that Firefox on Linux indeed thinks it has crashed when it’s not closed the ‘proper’ way, which is by closing it from the menu. It doesn’t do this on Windows, which is really odd. But I should be able to just turn off that screen in about:config. Perfect.

I already had that turned on as I want to start with a completely new session everytime anyway.
