I've also cross-posted this post on other third-party apps' subs:

EDIT: Forgot to write a bit of an introduction of myself, hello to everyone here, long time redditor and someone who also happens to mod a lot of subs on reddit such as r/electricvehicles, r/trulyunpopularopinion and etc!

Though I love to moderate and contribute to this communities meaningfully, I never liked reddit, as a huge FOSS fan, and these recent API changes are freaking stupid as well, there wasn't a better reason for me to not consider moving to Lemmy. I will be speaking with a lot of other reddit mods in my own mod teams and some other friends, hopefully I can bring some subs/people here.

Speaking of bringing people, please do consider checking out these posts I've linked above, and consider upvoting them if you agree, this situation with third-party apps are a great opportunity for Lemmy, hopefully it reaches to the devs, and even if not all apps make a move, even one would be a win.

Thank you!

EDIT 2: Hey guys! I missed some third party apps on the list above, just updated them, and the new added ones are RIF, Joey, Get Narwhal and RedReader. UPDATE: Added ReddPlanet.

Please do consider visiting those that I just added and upvote them, so hopefully they can reach to respective developers!

"Hey Neon, Talk to ChatGPT" - Mark II Voice Assistant - Update May 2023

New Neon AI Voice Assistant Update For Your Mycroft Mark II Includes Pre-Release ChatGPT Skills!

Neon AI has released the latest Neon AI Voice Assistant for the Mycroft Mark II (and other platforms) which enables Neon AI users to converse with ChatGPT, simply by saying "Hey Neon, I want to talk to ChatGPT".

To get started, tell your Mycroft Mark II device:

  1. "Hey Neon, enable pre-release updates"
  2. "Hey Neon, check for updates" and "Yes" to update
  3. "Hey Neon, update configuration"
  4. Once it's finished updating, you'll be able to say "Hey Neon, talk to ChatGPT"

Neon AI is the most advanced Open Source conversational personal assistant.

The Neon AI private voice assistant now responds to hundreds of natural language commands (see below).

Upgrade Offer - Serious Storage! Free to Mark II Community Member Contributors

Mark II’s have their best performance with an add-on 256GB SSD memory. Visit the Neon Square.com shop and use coupon code " MycroftRedditReader " to pre-order one for the discount price of $29 with free shipping*. Active community contributors can receive one for free - email me for a code ~Clary.

*Limited offer. Orders will be mailed out in about 4 weeks.

\"The speed increase of running Neon AI OS off the SSD instead of a USB stick is immediately noticeable.\" ~Mike S.

Hints

  • Change the homescreen wallpaper in the system menu.
    Swipe down for the menu, choose Settings → Display → Wallpaper Settings
  • "Hey Neon, Talk to me faster"

  • To leave the pre-release updates track, say: “Hey Neon, Enable stable update”.
  • "Hey Neon, Create a support ticket" to generate and email a log of recent activity.
  • If you need to, you can say: “Hey Neon, Restart"

This would be nice if connected to a vicuna model offline. It's already possible to use webcpu for a local stable diffusion via browser, so...

The people there are full of potential, they only need guidance.

Unfortunately I don't have a reddit account to do so myself, but I hope that someone is interested in teaching them about open source softwares like bookwyrm and even the open source philosophy in general.
