Open source licensing, offline-only usability, and self-hostable are the only important criteria to me, and they are not listed here.

No. Searx/Searxng exists.

Never trust proprietary software. They can always make more money by selling your data than selling subscriptions, so they inevitably will the moment they have a bad quarter and investment money fails to come in.

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.

Curious if they'll move the goalposts or ignore this.

Understandable! I'm learning Rust, so hopefully I can start contributing to the Lemmy server soon.

Thank you devs! This client is my daily driver for lemmy on mobile.

One thing I sorely miss vs. the web UI is inserting emotes in comments, are there any plans for that?

Thanks for this info. I'll check out QUIK

The US definitely cares where that happens. They could give a rats ass if every stupid trinket, knick-knack, or unsophisticated gadget was manufactured in China.

What they care very deeply about limiting is high-tech developments, semiconductor fabrication, and heavy industry.

These pose a serious threat to the US's ability to subjugate the rest of the world into allowing indefinite extraction of natural resources. Why do business with the West when China will provide technology that is of equal or superior quality with fewer strings attached? China has an extremely low bar to clear in terms of equality of exchange, and only needs to keep developing itself to put an end to US hegemony.

At which point, the rest of the world can sanction and exclude the West because the West largely extracts while producing very little in terms of material goods.

Unsurprising really. It seems fairly apparent that gravity merely influences the geometry of the substrate in which all known forms of matter & fundamental forces operate within. Something would have to seriously be fucky for antimatter to act counter to that geometry given it is comprised of similar particles with opposite charge. I'd assume astrophysicists know this, but wanted experimental proof for what seems to be straightforward logic from things we have experimentally confirmed.

The real question is what form does this geometry use to exert influence on the matter operating within curved spacetime? How is that information carried and how does gravity interface with that?
