Fuck subscriptions either way.
Don't have an alexa and don't want one
As long as processing is offloaded to the cloud, something's gotta pay for it, either a subscription or your personal data.
Problem is, I don't trust Amazon to not double dip, so fuck 'em.
We need offline personal assistants, support Home Assistant.
Exactly, the problem is that even if you pay for the subscription, they will still use your data for their profit. Big companies are so abusive...
I mean I thought the whole point of Alexa was to make you buy more stuff from Amazon?
For speech recognition there is also heywillow.io
I don't even have an Amazon account, I don't care what they want to do.
Then why comment?
I dislike your comment, I dislike the Amazon business model, that's why I'm saying I don't even have an Amazon account. Then, I don't care whatever they do, still I want to get informed of tech news. Any other question? btw -> https://www.amazon.com/privacy/data-deletion
