Back in January, this sweet kitty was seen sleeping in the tall patch of grass in my yard. At first, she would run, but hunger got the best of her and I began feeding her.
She is such a sweetheart. I got her a small tent to live in to keep her out of the rain. Luckily I live in a warm climate.
Then she started getting bigger, so i took her to the vet for all her shots and spaying. I spent two months trying to find her owner without luck, so I adopted her.

I want to use Lemmy more but the content just isn’t enough yet especially on niche topics and hobbies. I do try to come here for the “front page” over Reddit, since those posts on Reddit get so many replies you ain’t reading them all anyways.

They have been working on the dashboards a fair amount recently but if you’re expecting a brand new look, that isn’t likely to happen. They recently hired the guy behind “bubble cards”, who has then put a lot of work into the stock UI’s tile card. It’s pretty obvious this is the direction they intend to continue.
However it’s very extendable with themes and there is even some project that uses some entire closed source frontend for their dashboards. I forget the name of it though, but it might be worth looking into for you.
To answer your question, yes.
However, I’ve found that unless you’re going to host your own AI engine with a GPU, you’re stuck with OpenAI or Google Gemini. Luckily I’ve been able to use both with just the free tier.
Whisper and Piper run locally although Piper is a little slow on the green for my tastes. 4 second responses work, but are also frustrating when you’re not sure if it heard you or not. You’re also stuck with just the built in intents (phrases) so you need to be specific in how you say stuff.
Ultimately I set up a cloud based and a local based voice workflow and then I setup a ping probe to a IPs. If I detect the internet is up, it uses the cloud workflow. If the internet is down, it swaps to local to keep the house voice controlled.
They say it gets hot between states.
