I don't disagree. If there was a legitimate alternative, I would use that, but there isn't. I do everything I can to make sure it runs as much FOSS as it can.

How can you claim that attitude? You just admitted we have 2 giant vectors for attack/compromise, then dismiss them without any reasoning?
- calibration263 10y agoHis point is that no one is concerned about the always on hot mic in their pockets, but it's the only thing people talk about with the Echo. Why aren't people claiming that everything you say is recorded on your iPhone or android phone? Or that it's all sent to apple/google? Yet they feel justified in claiming that of the Echo?
- CaptSpify 10y ago> Why aren't people claiming that everything you say is recorded on your iPhone or android phone? Or that it's all sent to apple/google? uh... there's tons of people complaining about that all the time. I don't know about you, but that's a constant criticism of both companies that I see.
- calibration263 10y agoI've seen it, but not every time there's a discussion about Android or iOS. Maybe it's just because the always on mic is the sole feature of the Echo, while it's just a feature for phones. That said I feel like a lot of people do criticize the Echo while not realizing the phone in their pocket is capable of the same thing. Especially people saying they wouldn't buy an Echo or put one in their house because of privacy concerns, while they surely have an iOS or Android device on their person.
