    Or, you know, just don’t buy smart devices. They are pointless wastes of money and don’t solve any problem but the imaginary problem their marketing made you think actually exists.

    But they do create a whole lot of actual problems by having them in your home, and on your network.

    Which is better than just supporting something that google, amazon, and apple have developed. Which makes it inherently suspect and suspicious, and anyone with a brain should have an intense primal need to avoid anything being pushed by those 3 individually… much less working together as one.

      Matter, if implemented correctly, would save them all money and allow the privacy conscious to drop the cloud.

      They are losing money on their voice assistants, so they want out of the business of being the voice part of the central hub.

      They’ll find ways to monetize the users who are less privacy concerned, but that’s not me and I think it’s not a lot of people who are here.

      Ediit: I didn’t downvote you. I’m here for discourse and have found down votes don’t help that.
