You can run it on your laptop. I do.

“Server” in this case refers to client-server architecture.

That said this community is about hosting things on a computer you own which can very much be online. But this one works offline too.

Most of us can’t read as quickly as we can absorb spoken language.

I learned this directly when I decided to create English subtitles for French films and TV as an exercise when I was trying to get from B2 to C1 in French. It was a good exercise, but the result was unusable because the text often goes by too quickly to read.

That’s when I understood that it really is an art.

The subtitle artist must make descriptions work, punch lines land, and reproduce dialog with the correct gravitas. And they have to do it while cutting 50 percent or more of a meaningful, culturally-grounded translation.

It doesn’t seem like the kind of thing an id-less ml model could ever do.

Is there a woosh community?

When I’m speaking English I pronounce it Paris.

Lorsque je parle français je le prononce Paris.

It means the same thing as sticking your chopsticks in the rice so they stand up, or as pouring a couple of drops of your alcohol on the ground.

It’s universal. You just have to find the local way of expressing it.

Trump’s worldview is very similar to Hitler’s in many ways. The core similarity is that they both thought/think of everything in international relations as zero-sum.

There’s a lot to it that can’t be compressed into a readable Lemmy comment, but it’s pretty easy to find material.

This sounds dangerous.

Why! (CH)

It’s a work thing.

Her parents are so disappointed.

Their faces are clearly shown. What will it take to get their names.

Learn languages. Don’t do it to impress people, but to really learn. Hey native language tutors. Go out and embarrass yourself trying to speak with real people.

This plus maths and music is probably the best exercise for your brain.

Then follow the advice others have posted to keep reading.

It’s weird because I agree with you, but for some reason interacting with you makes me angry anyway.

I’m Swiss.

I don’t buy the greatness thing. I’d like go back to having an America that makes sense sometimes, and which we can reasonably work with.

It’s more reliable than SMB or CIFS and considerably harder to attack.

Is it really political any more when evil people have used politics to gain control over our lives to wreck our retirement funds, deport and possibly murder our friends, and oh just for fun destroy the entire foundational structure of science and discovery?

Nope. That’s not political. That’s awareness of the environment in which we find ourselves, and an attempt to deal with it.

Hopefully it will be over soon (in part thanks to awareness campaigns) so we can go back to politics where we have some conservatives, some progressives or whatever, and some single-issue parities that can make common cause with the others from time-to-time. Politics would be so wonderful to have now. It’s only been gone for maybe a decade and I miss it so much.

Oh, I thought you were asking about the “freedom fries” nonsense.

Living in a french-speaking country it’s hard to forget.

The reaction at the time was partly bemusement though. We don’t call them “french” anyway, because they’re from Belgium.
