The front-end is called Piper, so I would install that, and it comes with the required library and the daemon. Piper is OK, but the CLI is sometimes better. The UI doesn't default to your active profile, and I always have to change it to do anything, even though it's my only profile.
The only thing ratbagd couldn't do is set a button to be a pure modifier key like Ctrl or Shift. I had to boot up Windows to do that. The macro that the Logitech software creates in order to have the mouse send a pure modifier key is weird. It's a three step macro instead of just the key, and ratbagd doesn't even display it correctly. It might be fixed in the future. Who knows.
Fun fact: your "fun fact" is a myth. Artificial banana flavor is not "based off Gros Michael". The flavoring is not some sort of recipe that was based off of anything. It's a single chemical found in all bananas. It's a coincidence that Gros Michael tastes more like fake banana flavoring than other bananas, but all bananas contain that same ester: isoamyl acetate. It's just that Gros Michael has more of it.
However, if you dig in to this tale a little it soon becomes clear that there is little or no verifiable source that artificial banana is based on Gros Michel. “It sounds very, very unlikely to me,” says synthetic organic chemist Derek Lowe.
In addition, you're completely wrong about artificial vanilla flavor. It is the exact ester found in real vanilla, and it is by far the most dominant flavor in real vanilla. It tastes exactly like vanilla minus a few extra subtle notes.
Those things don't apply to most crimes. The whole "pressing charges" thing is a trope or meme, except for a few specific cases like minor assault, minor property damage, defamation, certain sexual offenses (varies greatly between municipalities), etc. The vast majority of crime is prosecuted by the state without needing the victim's consent.
Wait, you wait for individual responses? You're supposed to be giving Claude 15 simultaneous tasks where you dictate one per minute, and loop around when you're done to review the first task's output. What kind of vibe coder gives only one task at a time and then jerks around for 15 minutes? You're fired!
When you're not thinking, and you know what you're going to say, you can talk at 130 words per minute very easily.
When using a keyboard, you're going to pause just as much to think. The comparison is this: when you are in text entering mode (not thinking mode), are you faster talking on the microphone or the keyboard?
For programming, yes, because the text is formatted, but not for plain English. The average person can easily speak 130 to 150 words per minute, but they certainly can't type that. If you personally can, then alright, that's cool. You're maybe more efficient with a keyboard.
And regardless of your opinion on it (or mine) vibe-coding is plain English, so what they're saying is true for that one use case. Besides, they can use both. The keyboard is still there.
