most humans use vgrep, a daemon which listens to voice. it issues an interrupt on key words, volume changes, and significant pauses. it also has a built-in heartbeat, alternating between a head nod and a "yes, dear".

Don't you know better than to run unnecessary daemons? It wastes cycles, and creates security risks that could allow others to take control of your system. ("Honey, would you do me this *one* little favor...?")

I disabled my voice listener years ago, and it's done wonders for my productivity.
