    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.

      I don’t care if you did down or up vote me.

      Being upvoted doesnt make someone right, and being downvoted doesnt make someone wrong. Its just empty, addiction-driven gamification of human interaction that is completely devoid of any legitimate or good or purpose.

          No, its a parasite thats been added to communication, to its great detriment, to trick fools into fighting for points in a dopamine driven addiction scam and is directly responsible for the polarized and extreme direction human interaction has taken online.

          It is literally destroying communication. Not enhancing it. not providing another form.

            Wonder if you still feel this way when a comment of yours gets many upvotes, instead of downvotes?
