man who gets rich pumping oil out of ground blames everyone else for using it while offering no alternatives

😭I just want convenient software that makes my life better, is that too much to ask

Can you set reminders/timers with it?

God, how is that all still so relevant. Looks like it hit the youtubz 2/28/2012 and it's still on the nose.

Good news is good news. You love to hear it.

This was a work of ducking art, mad respect

bumping for visibility, I'd like to know too

Lolz, holy shit I needed this post, ducking community service here

I am actually super excited about this. I hope they get some good sharing tools in place but even a reasonably priced photo upload and storage service would be really great.

☹️ Mycroft ran out of money and closed down. I think you can still order a Mark2, but the cloud components they were hosting were taken down which essentially breaks the software. There is another company that picked up the ball and took over support but it's a more limited experience at the moment and the whole ecosystem is in a bit of a rut. The OpenVoiceOS project that spun out of Mycroft looks like the best bet long-term but they haven't finished a stable release yet. I bought a Mark2, which I still think is the best hardware available for an open source voice assistant, but finding and stitching together the software to make it work is a chore atm.

I've read less of these than I would have guessed. Thanks for the recommendations! Always looking for more good reads. I wish there had been more sci-fi in the list but I have been sorely lacking a good fantasy for a while so I will not complain loudly.

I'm sorry, I was trying to be silly and poke fun at how most of us just use the one or two tar commands and it totally didn't translate in text like it did my head. Have a wonderful day good internet stranger.
