This started off as a single file in my private nix config, to see if I could get it working at all. In that initial part, some parts were indeed LLM generated (esp. testcases based on my existing intents and failures).

When I noticed that this might actually work and be useful not just for myself though, I moved everything out manually, refactored and cleaned it up, and everything since has just been myself. I guess you’re still right though. I’ll see about adding a disclaimer to the README until I’ve gotten the chance to properly rewrite everything.

Huh, interesting. Does that work with wildcards like “put x on my shopping list”? Also, what are you using for that, if I may ask?

Sorry, I don’t quite follow 😅

What’s the problematic response?

Yay, that’s fantastic to hear!

Also, how’s your experience been with the PE? Getting a readymade device in a nice shell is appealing for sure 😅

Oh, in the demo gif, that’s via a shortcut (holding power for half a second). Sorry, can’t help with wakeword there 😅

Very cool. I’ll definitely look into that, and let you know back here :D

Glad to be of service… 😄

did you consider metaphone matching?

I did not even know about this. Sounds super interesting. Though it seems to be very language specific?

My original intent was to not rely on language specifics. But maybe we could just define additional steps in the pipeline for specific languages. Hm. I’ll have to think about this some more, but it might definitely be a great idea for a future version, so thanks for telling me about it!!

Have fun, hope this works out for you! FYI: you can also use an LLM as an additional fallback (first closest-intent, then on failure, LLM). README mentions it further down on Github.

No maybe just active poisons.

But again: I know this is unrealistic.

So for context, I actually drink, more than I probably should. I have a well stocked home bar, and trying or inventing new cocktails is almost a hobby for me and my partner.

I also come from a country with a veeeeeeery ingrained alcohol culture.

I’d still vote for an alcohol ban. Yes this is hypocritical when looking at my current habits. I don’t really have a point here, beyond saying that, even if banning alcohol is unrealistic, drinking alcohol being gone from the world is still a good idea in principle, the same as with tobacco.

Look at what happened with alcohol prohibition.

This is vastly different. Alcohol prohibition took alcohol away from people. This law does not. No-one who is currently smoking is being banned from doing so.

It also doesn’t have to work 100% to be a good idea. This will absolutely reduce the number of new smokers in the UK.

Comments in here really trying to argue for big tobacco, just because they don’t like the word “ban”. Edgy contrarians.

A lot of what has been coming from the UK government has been shit, but this is just plain GOOD. There’s no reason anyone should be smoking. This law prevents a new generation from becoming smokers. “Education” alone clearly hasn’t worked well enough.

That ks for sharing this, this is fascinating.

Maybe the underlying rule is: the more you know about something, the more you are aware of its flaws, making the alternatives you know less about more attractive?

I don’t really know, sorry :(

If you want to migrate, is going conduit - conduwuit - continuwuity (first version) - continuwuity (current version) maybe an option?

I went with continuwuity and am happy with it. Development happens at a steady pace, with sane priorities. The server is stable and I haven’t had any issues to speak of, despite one minor bug that got resolved very quickly after creating an issue.

This, I assume? https://github.com/frida/frida That is indeed a bit eyebrow-raising. Though they do offer pre-built binaries.

Also for stuff like this, I can highly recommend the Nix package manager, even if you are not on NixOS. There it would, for example, just be nix run nixpkgs#frida-tools, from any distro.

But I know you’re not OP. Would actually be interesting what exactly they tried to install.

pip and cargo are not intended as (system) package managers. Your target package may of course have dependencies on them, but from the way you described it it sounds like that’s what you attempted?

It always feels like YouTube is double dipping though. Not with what the post is about; that’s either/or, obviously.

But Google makes a nice profit collecting user data and behavior, and then selling that to advertising companies. That happens regardless of using an adblocker, and I’d be shocked if it doesn’t also happen regardless of YT premium.

But at the same time, Google also IS an advertising company; they use their user data collection platform to also show ads to users, getting paid again.

So personally, even if YT wasn’t owned and operated by a shitstain of a capitalist eldritch horror company, I’d still have zero qualms blocking all their ads: they’re making money off of me regardless.

Yeah, not having ads in the phone app, the TV app, the music app on the phone or in the browser is really nice, I love it. Also got that for all my friends and family.

Never paid YouTube a dime though :)
