#mycroft — Public Fediverse posts

Anyone here had a #Mycroft? I have the Mark1 which was lovely. A very basic home assistant running on a #Raspi3 with a cute face and a very robotic voice. But it was great. You could load skills and ask it questions.

A while ago, Mycroft AI shut down their servers and Mycroft fell silent. This was not good.

However, the open source voice community has picked up the baton and I'm told that whilst it'll never be Mycroft again, there are ways to bring it back to life.

There's nothing that is off the shelf in terms of install this and it'll work again, but I think that if I'm prepared to get my hands a bit dirty, then I should be able to install something that'll connect to my Home Assistant and hopefull light up Mycrofts eyes once again.

Smaller than I expected. I've had it all of a couple minutes, but the speaker sounds good. Works almost instantly with #HomeAssistant. Initial wake word is Jarvis, which is fine. I generally prefer #Mycroft, but I believe that's configurable if you spend more than 10 minutes with the device.

Let’s say I have a Mycroft Mark I that I pulled out of a closet in 2026. What can I do with it? 🤔 (I also have a Home Assistant server and a couple of Home Assistant Voice Preview Editions…) #HomeAssistant #Mycroft #MycroftMarkI #MycroftAI

Over the summer our 6 year old asked me to read to him from The Official Ubuntu Book (which I co-authored). On the page about the #Mycroft assistant device, I mentioned I had one. He was entranced.

Well, yes, I do. A Mark 1. It's been in my closet since I got it. It might be too old to run #OVOS. Or the hardware is dodgy. Maybe I should consider #HiveMind 🤔 Hey, someone upgraded it to use a RPi4.

What kind of hole am I digging for myself here?

My eyes are so itchy and watery (presumably due to seasonal allergies) that I haven't been able to get much work done in the past few days. I'm writing this toot with my eyes closed most of the time. 😑

Dear #accessibility hivemind, is there an easy way to have #Orca working with a natural-sounding text-to-speech voice, that is not eSpeak, but rather something like #MyCroft's Mimic3 ?

What's the state of the art for screenreader TTS voices on #Linux and how do I get it in #Fedora?

#SCIFI #Heinlein 's The Moon is a Harsh Mistress is substantial and I think still well worth reading for entertainment as well.
Buried in it is the assumption that an intelligent computer, one which developed a consciousness and personality, would display male or female traits, or traits we interpret this. Wyoh: Mike's a girl!
That's in the context of an exploration of humour, a long list of jokes funny/not funny.

But if a computer isn't #binary , what is?

#TMIAHM #Mycroft

Oh, and my daughters would really like a a female sounding wake word other than Alexa. My sons don't seem to care, they all are happy with Mycroft. That's probably because I've been using Mycroft since #Mycroft was mycroft.ai. I'm partial to Selene, but that's only because it's from the same novel as Mycroft. Also, I realize I could create my own wake word. I might even do that if the alarm functionality gets added. 😉

Wer #MyCroft noch nicht kennt: Da findet ihr für noch so jede Torrent-Seite, Foren wie MyDealz etc. – und übrigens auch die ARD- und ZDF-Mediatheken – in Firefox installierbare Suchmaschinen, seit so ziemlich 20 Jahren. Die lassen sich dann in den FF-Einstellungen noch mit Suchkürzel einstellen: So suche ich mit "ard sendungsname" direkt in der Mediathek.
