    Do you also personally audit all open source software that you use?

      Your rebuttal makes no sense.

      The issue with proprietary “smart” assistants is that we can only guess how they work.

      No but I do review code audits that certified professionals publish for things that I use when they are available, and I also don’t use any voice assistants and only use open source smartphone ROMs such as GrapheneOS.

      Basically I use the opsec methods available to me to prevent as much of the rampant spying that I can. The last thing I would do is put an open mic to Amazon’s audio harvesting bots in my home because that’s incredibly careless.
