Home assistant has an automation event that lets you set the conversation result, but you’ve already passed my ability haha so I can’t tell you how to pull the result in from an external service.
It may well be worth building it as a home assistant integration rather than just custom sentence triggered automations.
Linux’s problem is that it’s not an OS, and so suggesting people use Linux doesn’t give them much advice.
The next problem is that linux based OSs are generally open source, which means it can be forked any number of times at any point in time.
There’s this super awesome and super confusing think in open software where you don’t have to use the thing you are given. Want to use facebook? Must use their app. Want to use reddit? Pretty much must use their app, etc.
But if you want to use Lemmy or Piefed, there are a dozen good choices, none are the wrong answer. Want to use Jellyfin? Well I connect with Kodi on my TV, Swiftfin on my mother’s, the Android Jellyfin app on my in-laws’ TV, Findroid (movies/TV) or Finamp (music) on my phone, etc. You don’t like an app you can still use the service just try another app or make your own. This is awesome, but super confusing to non-technical people.
Linux distros are the same. There are dozens of popular ones, many of which are based on others, the variety of choices is awesome but for non-technical people they have no idea where to start.
Worth noting you need both the speaker part and the server part. Home assistant sells both as out of the box ready to go but you do need both parts.
It’s also worth noting it’s a Preview Edition, as in not yet consumer ready.
It works but you will find quirks, and will find things it can’t do that you’d expect it to, and things it can do that others can’t.
It’s also very customisable, if you’re a bit technical (honestly you don’t need to be that technical these days, it has come a long way).
Do you have a plan? I have a Home Assistant Voice Preview Edition and it’s great but I don’t think it can do unit conversions without connecting it to an LLM. Timers work locally.
I guess if it’s an equation you could add automation to pick up on the phrase and reply with the conversion, but that would need each unit to be manually done and wouldn’t work for things like currency conversion that needs live data.
Also arbitrary things would be challenging, like converting tablespoons of butter into grams or grams of rice into cups.
It’s probably that VPNs are blocked on Lemmy.world. It’s linked in the sidebar: https://lemmy.world/post/11967676
GIMP is open source, so you probably can. The GIMP repo has info on setting up a dev environment.
I’d think you’d need at least some technical skill. There was a fork called Glimpse purely for the name change, but I can’t find any trace of it now.
For the record, yes there are people that do this. They get banned so have to make a new account every time they want to be a dick.
Click on the icon? No typing required.
For what it’s worth, I’ve been at enterprise sized places that had GIMP on their standard software catalogue, no one cares about the name.
Was it in NZ or is this really common? Here’s the one I know: https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/531909/himatjit-kahlon-convicted-of-manslaughter-after-giving-meth-laced-beer-to-employee-aiden-sagala
So far no one has mentioned this, but typically images or other uploads only exist on the original server. When lemm.ee went down, all the content those users uploaded was lost.
The text content of posts and comments is copied across all the linked servers, but the images aren’t. Some instances will proxy images from a short term cache, but it’s far too expensive to store the images permanently.
Doesn’t have to be the moment, just that they would disappear after some amount of time that is less than a year (so they can’t make a year in review page).
I seem to recall PieFed does delete certain topics (memes?) after some period of time, perhaps configurable per instance.
Couldn’t most people here could do it in one? The code is in the post and newlines can be removed like in minified javascript.
I always assumed one day the separate mail and parcel services would become one. In my mind letters would be delivered as a parcel, so driven to your door instead of a service that passes every door.
Though another comment says in this case another company will be picking up the service.
Yeah that’s a fair point. I don’t think Dropbox does ads but the others I mentioned and the ones you mentioned all show/play ads for the free tier.
I guess OpenAI will be pretty keen to get ads into their free tier too, once they run out of investors’ money.
Thanks for the numbers, you were saying the subscriber percentage was embarrassing so I was curious about that rather than their fairly infamous losses.
You’ve said OpenAI have about half the subscriber percentage of Dropbox, but if Dropbox is that profitable then that seems like they are doing particularly well and perhaps that subscriber percent is above average?
What’s a normal amount? What proportion of people with Dropbox or Google Docs or Hotmail are paying customers?
Having a little over 1% doesn’t seem that bad, I am faar more surprised that over 1% of users pay for ChatGPT (if your numbers are accurate).
As someone with a public facing website, there are significant volumes of scraping still happening. But largely this appears to come out of South East Asia and South America and they take steps to hide who they are so it’s not clear who is doing it or why, but like you say it doesn’t appear to be OpenAI, Google, etc.
It doesn’t appear to be web search indexing, the scraping is aggressive and the volume will bring down a Lemmy server no matter how powerful the hardware.
I don’t know the answer but does tab to autocomplete work in other contexts? E.g. you type ‘cd ca’ and it fills it to ‘cd catpics’?
I’m not at a PC right now but from memory you’d have to be in bash or similar, it won’t work in sh.
What’s your solution to this problem for the rest of your digital life?
Well if you do, contribute it to home assistant and I’ll install it 😆, it’s actually a little surprising conversions aren’t supported natively but I guess there is a lot to cover and they will get there eventually.
