Theres Dicio, which honestly does all that I need a voice assistant to do, but I have to open the app to use it, I cant just say “Hey Dicio” or whatever. Is something like that possible?

    There could be a software implementation that works perfectly fine on desktop PCs, especially Linux, but problem is hardware. I don’t see commercial smartphone manufactures giving access to ‘unauthorized uses’ like foss projects usually go around.

      You’re right. The ‘open source’ android phones are the perfect example. But FOSS needs to stop relying on these fascist hardware stack and opt for better open modular platforms. We have examples for such things - like the framework laptops or fairphones. It’s somewhat tolerable for laptops. But we are still too far behind in terms of mobiles and desk boxes needed for these sorts of projects.
