I have a dumb work related chrome thing, i’d like to make it so that when a certain notification sound plays in chromium, my computer does a few things automatically for me

Does anyone know a good way to make this happen?

I imagine it’d have to be setup like:

when chrome starts playing audio && check if that audio matches soundfile.ogg && myscript.sh, but I don’t know any good cli utilities that could get something like that done, and if there are any better ideas!

    This smells of “So I work from home, but want to sleep, but if my boss pings me on teams I want an alarm to wake me up”

      What about have an LLM autoanswer and only wake me up if the bossman keeps talking and also autofill my timecard so I don’t have to

        I’ll have an llm auto answer the day I fancy getting an angry call from my manager because I responded to him asking me to give him access to something with

        “I’m sorry, but as an AI language model I am unable to do that”

          “As an AI model, I cannot in good conscience give you access, explain clearly why you think you need access to this system and I will forward your message to a more competent authority”

      Is there anything wrong with that? Hahaha, it’s pretty similar but not quite that

        Lazy people tend to be creative people, which is good, especially when confronted with boring activities.

        I’d solve it in hardware, maybe an ESP32 dongle with a mic pretending to be a keyboard.

        Seriously though, sounds like you need a more creative or fulfilling job.

          Yeah the most fulfilling thing about this job has been figuring out how to automate as much of it as possible while still pretending to be a normal worker. It’s pretty terrible, i’m going to switch to herpetology eventually, but can’t do that right now for various reasons I don’t want to get into on a public forum.

          I’m at the top of every performance metric because of my inclination to be lazy as fuck with it though, so, it works.

        youre just thinking about it wrong. get an llm going, voice to text, and have a synthesizer copy your voice. 99% of your workload is now gone, no more endless meetings, and you got notes that can be quickly summarized.

        lets just hope that they dont ask you what 27 times 38 or something is. could maybe prompt it to say ‘Lets circle back around on that in an email’ whenever a complex question is asked, lmao

          I don’t have any meetings ever. An LLM really wouldn’t be able to do almost any of my work.

        “So I work from home, but want to sleep play games, but if my boss pings me on teams I want an alarm to wake me up”

        Depending on your employer it could be well okay
