surprise neubot update because I’m bored: 2026.06.30!
Even better Home Assistant - Home Assistant integration just got more useful! Ask what the temperature is in the living room, or if anyone's at the front door. Lights and switches now have new widgets allowing you to control them manually without asking neubot again.
Conversational Awareness - You can now ask neubot to turn the lights on, then ask it to set them to a different colour without repeating the name.
More Conversational - neubot is now more conversational with friendlier responses and better understanding of your requests.
Personal Context - Responses can now be more personal, now that neubot has access to your name and email. You can ask neubot to turn the lights off in your bedroom, and it uses your personal context to determine the correct room.
JoshAtticusID - JoshAtticusID has been added back as a sign in option.
Show Mode Removed - Show Mode [BETA] has been removed due to lack of functionality and very little usage.

Compressor just reached over 100 stars on GitHub in the first week! Yippee! This is the most attention any of my projects has ever gotten :D
Help get Compressor on Google Play!
Compressor is almost available on Google Play, but to do so, Google requires that we have at least 12 testers for 14 days. If you want to see Compressor on Google Play, head to https://groups.google.com/g/compressor-beta-testing to join the testing group and install!
Every. Single. Video Compression app on the play store SUCKS, which is why I created Compressor!
Faster than every single compression app on the Play Store. Period.
Uses native Media3 API, not another slow, bulky FFMpeg wrapper
No third party libraries
No invasive permissions (no storage, no internet etc)
Ad free
Super lightweight (< 10MB)
Completely native Kotlin (no React Native slop here)
Works on Android 7.0 and up
Compared to the first non-sponsored search result for “video compressor” on the Play Store, Panda Video Compressor, with over 10 million downloads, Compressor is 117x faster. When tested on my Pixel 8 Pro compressing a 200MB 4K video down to 1080p30 with the Medium preset in both apps, Compressor took only 11 seconds, Panda took almost 22 minutes.
Furthermore, using the highly optimised native Media3 API, Compressor is able to compress that same 200MB video down to just 2.2MB at 720p30, with virtually no difference in quality on a 6” phone screen.
I don’t currently have $25 USD to sign up for a Google Play Console account, so you can get Compressor completely free from GitHub releases (or build it yourself with Android Studio) at https://github.com/JoshAtticus/Compressor/releases/latest
If you like Compressor, please also consider donating even just a few dollars so I can get it onto the Play Store! I will never paywall features or put ads in the app. https://www.buymeacoffee.com/joshatticus
Account created, waiting for Google to verify my ID yippee :D
Update: I've reached over $25 in donations thanks to @busybird15 and @toaks (and also my friend donating $15 AUD who isn’t on wasteof) so once Buy me a coffee pays out in 1-2 weeks, I'll sign up for a Google Play Console account and publish Compressor to the Play Store!
I have been slowly peeling the glass off a cracked iPhone SE 1 I got from ewaste today
I’m crine

every week since I got my pixel watch this day in January 2023 fitbit sends me a email telling me I’ve gained 14.5kg and that this is consistent with last week so I now apparently weigh over 2.2 metric tons.
I have never entered my weight into Fitbit
