@053f521c I've been coughing at @b6088f23 for years now, but so far they've successfully managed to ignore me. Now that Mycroft has dropped out of the market, it's virtually impossible to get a smart speaker that isn't spying on your every move. NeonAI still sells the #Mark2 from Mycroft, but they're super expensive with such low market penetration. Would be amazing to see someone really put some juice behind it.
@c210e6a8 @b6088f23 Yeah I think it could be really helpful especially for those who requiring accessibility. However, I get the feeling those in charge don't see it being viable.
@053f521c Absolutely. My mother had Alzheimer's, and long after she lost the capability of using a computer she could still video call and send messages using a Google Assistant screen. She could even get slideshows of the the latest pictures of her grandkids. That kind of thing shouldn't be locked behind a paywall of used to advertise.
