Listen up here, Iāll make it quite clear Iām gonna put some boogie in your ear
I suppose executing recruitment agencies is out of the question?
Ban ATSā (seriously, how could centralising all of everyoneās personal information ever go wrong?!)
Have competent people working in Personnel departments (and thank you, I am not a Human āResourceā, thatās just your slave master mentality shining through)
And, yeah, executing recruitment agents. Sorry, but it has to be done, for the future of humanity. (Or maybe it doesnāt? Are they actually able to interbreed with human beings?)
I donāt imagine thereās any one thing that ācausesā it. High standard of living helps (so more disposable income to spend on things like computers); a technological society, in the sense that people arenāt afraid of technology or of being seen as an āengineerā-type of person; a somewhat left, privacy aware population and generally more altruistic attitude than in other countries Iāve lived in; finally, for my list, I think thereās somewhat of a Streisand effect in that there are a large number of foss developers in Germany because they see that there are a large number of foss developers in Germany.
It seems like Snips was the voice control of choice with HA but was bought up by Sonos.
Rhasspy - https://github.com/synesthesiam/rhasspy - might work (https://dev.to/jeikabu/home-assistant-voice-recognition-with-rhasspy-1jb2).
All depends on you using Home Assistant of course, although looking quickly at the docs Rhasspy seems to work with other systems.
https://jasperproject.github.io/ might also be worth a look.
The benefit would be that if someone knows how to use Fediverse-Thing āXā theyād have a headstart in learning how to use āYā and āZā as well, because they would all look/behave similarly. Itās a fairly standard UI/UX idea. See, for example, some āusability rulesā at http://www.catb.org/~esr/writings/taouu/html/ch01s03.html (esp. Rule of Bliss and Rule of Least Surprise).
Thatās just not true. It is, some might say, ridiculously hard to do because these days there are so many iās to dot and tās to cross, but itās not impossible. A friend hosts his domainsā email at home.
