    This is because we have a Google home which is linked to my Spotify account.

    Cute story… this is an advertisement, even if it was not the author’s intent. I enjoy human connection and mawwiage as much as the next guy, but we can have a better story with post-google open source alternatives.

    “Will you be my Spotify Duo… til death do us part?” I texted her, over my Google Pixel 3 Watch

    sniffle “Of course my love. Nike, Just Do It™” she said, between sips of her new Folger’s dark mountain blend with new hazelnut flavor.

    “Based, fam” And then they Uber off into the sunset.

      For me this is anything but advertising. The audacity of Spotify to throw you out of listening to music, because another device is now playing music.

      Imagine your tape player stops playing music in the kitchen because you started your mp3 player on the toilet.

        Home Assistant has voice controls, but I have t had a chance to use them. I’ve heard really good things tho, just waiting on real hardware vs making my own.

          Home assistant’s default, basic voice stuff is pretty bad. It works well if you either integrate proprietary models into it, or run your model own locally. The former is proprietary and the latter is rather expensive. Sure people will tell you you can run smaller models on basic hardware, but those are… not very capable or responsive. It takes some setting up either way.

        An alternative for what? Never heard of it.

      …so keep on the sunny side, friend, and choose Big Boss cigarettes for that smooth flavor…
