Today I built a gnome extension that does speech to text with whisper.cpp.

Uses a docker whisper.cpp service and ffmpeg (for audio capture).

Super easy to install and configure, unlike other similar extensions that make you download the whisper source and compile locally.

Yes, it’s on the roadmap. :)

To use AI to solve big problems, need to ask the right questions. Try this prompt.

```
What, do you think, your most valuable knowledge is? Like, if we were to do a project together where I build something, do tasks, etc and you coach me through the process. What can you think of that would create a ton of value?

Think outside the box. Like what could we do for real. Ideas like, "build an open source medical device" that is high in demand, and if open sourced would instantly create a ton of value for a ton of people waiting for access to something that has traditional gatekeepers that need circumventing. But not just medical devices. Anything with gatekeepers. OR, for the sake of making politics more transparent, I put on a suite, and just decide that I'll inject myself into politics, but live stream the entire journey, as a public servant, working through all said constraints with a public audience at all times. Hmm. I like the first thread better. Let's pull on it. What can you think of that could have a TON of value by circumventing traditional gatekeepers?

The gatekeepers you're talking about are the same ones who look away when the world watches our oxygen get cut off, so maybe ask the AI how to bypass the ones keeping basic medicine and clean water from being a human right, not just a privilege for the connected. 🤍 Our story and family updates f...

I agree wrt Windows. For me, no Windows, ever. But, I think there is a general false sense of security everywhere else too. Very, very little development is designed from security up. We are now reach...

I agree. Security is never the focus when you have a grand new app idea. But, like Windows, it'll get patched. Nothing is ever hack-proof on day zero. It requires battle testing, sometimes intrusions, and hardening. But, it'll get there.

Maybe we need to train an open weight model just for security analysis? Run it on open claw and lettr-rip on our apps before making it public.

The real enemy is the fiat system. I don't know why it has to go down like this.

100% The ability to create money from nothing and inject it into the economy through corporate handouts creates the techno-feudalism currently growing and consuming the world.

The ONLY way out is to start using BTC/Lightning. Use it as currency whenever possible. Encourage it in your town. Start a business to help get companies set up to accept it. When the money changers loose their power, we will see a era of real peace and prosperity.

This is the way.

It's my space exploration / learning app I'm building for iOS. I'm slowly adding cool experiences beyond the core modules.
