This update includes a demo of Mycroft integrating with #HomeAssistant in a completely offline but still voice driven system. Honestly, this is the goal for me. A voice driven environment where not one component of it requires an actual Internet connection, just local network. No one needs to know my front door is unlocked but me.

Hey, so this is super cool.

Google has been collecting call and messaging data about who you talk to or send text messages to for years. There's no opt-out, no notifcation in their TOS they're doing this, and you can't see the results of that collection in Google Takeout.

I wonder what the internet would look like if the leading search engine prioritized indicators of stability and credibility rather than indicators of recency

If your local pharmacy is selling homeopathic remedies and magnetic bracelets to cure ailments, you might want to question whether their primary motivation is health or profit
