uses properietary google technology as kaccounts, as akonadi,
and like those, you don't have to use that backend
https://mycroft-ai.gitbook.io/docs/using-mycroft-ai/customizations/stt-engine
(we could even have the whole voice interaction part to be opt-in at

The part that is actually a KDE project, the plasma shell, also,
doesn't really use it, it's mycroft that does, an external project
such shell can optionally use, as another KDE project which is the
plasmoid, which already made on the dot
https://dot.kde.org/2018/02/23/mycroft-ai-plasma

tough yes, i'll blog about it, should make it more known by the
