  • You don’t need to use Whisper, I got some names mixed up. I was thinking of wyoming-faster-whisper which uses the FOSS speech to text system faster-whisper, but there are others that can be used.

    Edited my original comment to fix that.

    Wyoming is a protocol for voice assistants.

    It ties together:

    • speech recognition services (faster-whisper, vosk, whisper.cpp, OpenAI’s Whisper API)
    • text to speech services (piper)
    • wake word detection services (openWakeWord, snowboy, porcupine1)
    • intent handling services
    • intent recognition services

    Home Assistant can interact with that protocol. I think the addons run servers for various components used by the wyoming protocol server that the integration can use, but I run it separate from Home Assistant, so idk.

    Not sure what futo is capable of, but you can use anything that can communicate with a wyoming server. I’m willing to wager you can, but idk.

    OpenAI’s ChatGPT API and LLM models are orthogonal to this, but probably could be used as an intent or as the fallback when no other intent was recognized. So I’m pretty sure you could link up getting a response from OpenAI or any other LLM API, but I haven’t tried setting that up for myself yet. wyoming-handle-external lets you pipe the input text to the stdin of whatever program you give it and responds with the program’s stdout, so you could definitely use this to pass it to OpenAI or Ollama.









  • Loved pop-shell when I used it. I still use a tiling extension for GNOME. Wouldn’t want to live without it.

    I love the ideas behind cosmic, but I am skeptical about System76 dominating development rather than letting the community run things. Specifically, I very much want a Rust-ified GNONE-Shell and GTK with tiling & stacking features. Ideally, I’d like to see a Rust rewrite of GTK. I’d say GNOME-Shell too, but idk how well you could maintain extension compatibility with that.

    I don’t care much for the looks of iced applications, but these ones look better than what I’ve seen so far. They look like a mix of the awkward elements of Qt and Android.

    Even in these screenshots, I still far prefer the aesthetics of the Libadwaita apps. I wonder if there will be Adwaita themes for iced eventually. Not sure how well it would mesh with the iced layout though.











  • Especially his Pathgologic video

    YouTube wanted me to watch this so bad. I thought it was good, but I had never heard of Pathologic before the video. I think I’m just not interested in that genre of content.

    Im anti-IP too but smaller creators need protection from theft whilest capitalism still exists.

    Theft of what? If I publish a video reading out your article, what was stolen from you? I understand the sentiment, but there’s limited tangible impact. The discussion on AI produced content is more interesting because it introduces systemic components & is capable of copying & pre-empting creators at scale.
