- Comment on ‘Alexa, what do you know about us?’ What I discovered when I asked Amazon to tell me everything my family’s smart speaker had heard 2 weeks ago:
Of course there could be more but I don’t see the point of making that assumption or living that way. I’ll just limit my data input in case. While Amazon should be more transparent people still wouldn’t believe them and “if” they are truly only collecting the input I give them then I don’t consider that spying. With that said it’s good to know and each individual can choose if they’re ok with it or not.

I do know that, but collecting data isn’t always spying.

I know, I’m supposed to be terrified of technology, the internet and big corporate!

Thank you and god forbid someone has a different opinion. There are a lot of assumptions on the internet about what smart speakers are and aren’t but this article didn’t reveal anything shocking IMO. The writer didn’t even seem bothered by all of it. It just came off as a simple observation piece to me.

Collecting data is different than spying.

It gave him back every piece of data he had put into Amazon which was tied to a log in. Where is the spying? He willing did this and the whole piece felt like an observation more than a worry. Just my perception that though.

That it’s listening and remembering when I talk to it? That’s not exactly spying on us.
- Comment on ‘Alexa, what do you know about us?’ What I discovered when I asked Amazon to tell me everything my family’s smart speaker had heard 2 weeks ago:
Must have missed the part where the article explained anything clearly other than Amazon documents all your prompts.
- Comment on ‘Alexa, what do you know about us?’ What I discovered when I asked Amazon to tell me everything my family’s smart speaker had heard 2 weeks ago:
Was there any indication that it was listening outside of being prompted? That’s just an assumption and would be no different than the phone we all have in our pockets most of the day.

Why?

My local library has a collection of Nintendo Switch Games

It has a lifetime subscription but it’s missing so many features I couldn’t imagine paying that right now. Well ever but specifically right now…lol
- Comment on Twitterrific team launches new ‘Tapestry’ iPhone app for Bluesky, Mastodon, RSS, more 4 months ago:
100% although I like the UI but it’s crippled without those features mentioned. Openvibe and Surf offers the same concept and can do both those things.
- Comment on Twitterrific team launches new ‘Tapestry’ iPhone app for Bluesky, Mastodon, RSS, more 4 months ago:
You can’t reply! What am I missing?
- Comment on Twitterrific team launches new ‘Tapestry’ iPhone app for Bluesky, Mastodon, RSS, more 4 months ago:
That seems like such a narrow use case. I’m not sure why making it usable would have hindered people who want to use it like that.
Not being able to reply or see threads are just wild design choices IMO.
- Comment on Twitterrific team launches new ‘Tapestry’ iPhone app for Bluesky, Mastodon, RSS, more 4 months ago:
That’s crazy, you can reply in Opevibe and Surf.Social and they want $80 for this?
- Comment on Twitterrific team launches new ‘Tapestry’ iPhone app for Bluesky, Mastodon, RSS, more 4 months ago:
Am I taking crazy pills or can you not reply to BlueSky and Mastodon post in Tapestry?
- Comment on Twitterrific team launches new ‘Tapestry’ iPhone app for Bluesky, Mastodon, RSS, more 4 months ago:
Just curios what do you mean by become shit? Adds and/or subscriptions or something else?
- Comment on Twitterrific team launches new ‘Tapestry’ iPhone app for Bluesky, Mastodon, RSS, more 4 months ago:
I’m not paying for Ivory either. Out of curiosity does Ivory have adds for those who don’t pay?
- Comment on Twitterrific team launches new ‘Tapestry’ iPhone app for Bluesky, Mastodon, RSS, more 4 months ago:
Openvibe is on Android
- Comment on Twitterrific team launches new ‘Tapestry’ iPhone app for Bluesky, Mastodon, RSS, more 4 months ago:
Completely different services. What social media app has ever cost $80?
- Comment on Twitterrific team launches new ‘Tapestry’ iPhone app for Bluesky, Mastodon, RSS, more 4 months ago:
I’ve been using Openvibe which is a similar app and haven’t seen one add and doesn’t have a subscription model. I understand development cost money but I agree with you.
- Comment on Twitterrific team launches new ‘Tapestry’ iPhone app for Bluesky, Mastodon, RSS, more 4 months ago:
Adds and a subscription model are present FYI.
- Comment on Twitterrific team launches new ‘Tapestry’ iPhone app for Bluesky, Mastodon, RSS, more 4 months ago:
This is great. I’ve really been enjoying OpenVibe but it’s not perfect so I’m looking forward to checking out another take on this.

Some people like to play on original hardware but I guess this still being emulation makes that a little cloudy. I certainly couldn’t justify it. I own a computer and wireless controller, so as you said.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 months ago:
Oh it’s very left, the whole open web seems to lean that way. I just find it silly and not much different from what they claim right wing platforms to be. When I go out into the world social spaces aren’t left or right and for the most part we all get a long cordially. Bad eggs notwithstanding.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 months ago:
The average person doesn’t care about that and large scale development cost money. It doesn’t really bother me either if it’s being run respectfully and I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt until it’s not.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 months ago:
It didn’t say anything except share some stats. What part of that was disgusting?
- Comment on [deleted] 4 months ago:
The need to give everything a political stance these days is maddening and IMO very divisive.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 months ago:
There’s no right or wrong way. For it to be fun for an event like that you need to follow lots of people in that space. Like journalist, reporters, beat writers and analysts. However if you don’t want that content in your feed full time you could try searching one of the teams hashtags and use the latest tab to follow along. You can also take all those suggested follows and make a list to pin to your BlueSky front page without following them and just goto that feed during games.
