From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Very necessary, I very much want to be rid of Okay Google but open-source alternatives like Mycroft keep getting shut down.

Shoot Mycroft got shut down? I remember looking into it a bit ago and filing that away as a future project, rip. I know Homeassistant also has one now too

I be been fiddling with home assistants voice thing a bit and like wvwry4hing home assistant the process has been frustrating and bordering on Kafkaesque. I bought these atom echo things they recommend which don't seem to make the best google home replacements, and in struggling to figure out how to get home assistant to pipe the sound out of another device, thereby making them useful.

Admittedly this may be simpler if all I was looking to do is say things and have stuff happen in a default voice model, but I fine tuned my own RTS voice model(s) and am looking to be able to use them for controlling homeass as well as for general inference when i feel like it.

I've spent some tim3, not a lot but some, trying to find out what devices can be m2dia players and under what conditions and how (or whether) you can use esp home to pipe audio through the media player / use USB mics as microphones for the voice stuff.

I'm kind of at a loss as far as understanding what the actual intention was for homeless' year of the voice, so I've be3n thinking that maybe offloading some of my goals to a container or VM on TNT server running homeless on proxmox may be a better path forward. I came across this post just in time it seems.

Are you on Linux Mobile perchance? What I assume is your digital keyboard has really bad touch heuristics.

Oh yeah the keyboard is awful.

But it doesn't spy on me so. Everyone else gets to suffer.
