      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?
