If you don’t mind saying, where in the show are you currently? Because depending on that, “MC last Minute heel turn” can mean drastically different things

Nah. She is a night-owl and always stays up for hours later than myself. Which makes it really hard to get up from the couch and go to bed for me in turn.

Go to bed on time finally

OK, so what you want is for other people to volunteer their time and money to keep an instance running. That, by itself, is honestly fine, and many people are happy to do so.

But you then also do not want to play by their rules. That part is not fine.

Just host your own instance.

Others are luckily always free to block you, but you do not need to worry about losing your account.

There is not really any downside to hosting your own instance either, thanks to federation, you get to participate in the wider Lemmy community as an equal member.

It is absolutely NOT fine from a technical perspective

Actually… Just tried it. I am on 2025.10, so newer than what was mentioned there. It still does not understand any better than from what I remember. Bummer.

But hey, at least the acknowledge that there’s the need for something between dumb pattern matching and an LLM.

Holy shit YES!

That article is from yesterday, and the relevant section is: https://www.home-assistant.io/blog/2025/10/22/voice-chapter-11/#improved-sentence-matching

Awesome to see improvements there. Thanks a lot for linking!

Oh wow, awesome!

Sounds like you never wanted to be friends, just fuck them.

I’m almost sorry to be blunt, but…

Women don’t want to be chased. You’re a misogynist who has reduced women to “people to have sex with” in your own mind.

If you change that, you gain the possibility of actual connections, including intimacy, with them; if you don’t, you don’t. Either way it’s up to you if you want the status quo to continue or to improve.

Thank you for your sacrifice :D

While I don’t like it, it’s not hidden either:

There should definitely be an option to disable this for self-hosting, but if it’s just a counter for how often each tool is used by all users combined… Eh…

(Stirling also has something similar)

Prisoner Of War:

Why not open a PR to make it configurable? The maintainer is super active and friendly.

Thanks for the recommendation! That looks interesting indeed.

This entire topic is probably a sinkhole of complexity. It’s great to have somewhere to look for inspiration!

Yeah those are good points. Also noticed the CDN thing, it’s a bit annoying for a privacy-first project… But should be an easy fix 😄

Stirling’s backend is Java. So, yeah, heavy and slow sounds about right.

The one exception here: it’s great to have it installed on your parents’ PC when you’re the one doing the update once in a while when you are around. Rock solid in between, no nagging, and if something did break, easy to roll back.

Ah, thanks for mentioning. Yep, they have a docker image; as mentioned, a nixpkg will be available soonTM; and frankly, you can just build / download the release artifacts and put them on any static host.
