New release of Dragonfire open-source virtual assistant runs fully on local

Looks like they're not kidding about the compile time of one of the dependencies, but it looks like they've done a good job of wrapping it effortlessly into the apt system.
I'll check back in after work and let you all know if it compiled successfully and if so, what kind of functionality it's got.
Seems to be pretty good at voice recognition, but there's a noticeable delay while it parses my voice, maybe 3 seconds.
All things considered, it's light-years ahead of any other open source voice project I've seen, but it's not there yet. It's interpreted my mechanical keyboard strokes as voice about 5 times while writing this message, so it's not there yet, but I'll certainly be leaving it installed and keeping an eye out for updates.

It was ahead of its time, and yet it was also such an artifact of its time.
