[(Forewarned; Excuse the tone and style of this comment... I have just watched some Stewart Lee.)]

"The short answer is no, probably not!"

Not what Edward Snowden said.

Not what serves the corporation, the advertisers, nor the snoops.

How hard, or how easy, is it, to script even a simple voice to text logger, and filter a trigger word list, to keep the resources down... even before an age of llm... then with the triangulatability intrinsic to the technology, and the various motion sensors etc that they have these days... they can do much more than just cold-read you and zap you with epi-acoustic manipulations... ?

Easy, right?

How hard, or easy, is it, to write a script that hides such features upon any suspicion of being detected?

Easy right?

How hard, or easy, is it, to defy the statutes mandating maximising wealth extraction in the service of your share holders, to disobey your boss telling you to build such things, after you've already been selected for such a role because you're indifferent and even eager to do such things, knowing that were you to so disobey you would lose your salary and suffer the wrath of the corporate legal department?

Hard, right?

How hard, or easy, is it, to avoid installing any of the many spywares advertised as necessary conveniences in your service, when you've no awareness of the dangers of advertising thus nor the prudence to avoid it or to put your guard up if ever exposed, [and with data-mining being completely outside your scope of conception of possibilities, let alone the dangers of it, to you], and so eagerly lap it up as if truth rather than a set of carefully crafted lies to maximally hoodwink the most from you and have you think it was your own idea, that it's just a necessary convenience in your service and so of course you'll install it, right... ...and to have that web-connected voice-activated technology work without listening to you constantly?

Hard, right?

So the answer to “Is My Phone Listening To Me?”, is perhaps not so much the "short" answer, as the "dangerously stupid" answer.

That article reads like:
  • wrong answer [to mislead the ignorant who wont read on]
  • boasting
  • wrong answer [reaffirmed, with...
  • nonsequitor argument affirming opposite.]
  • ~watch video~ semantic nonsequitor.
  • offer of services to prevent what the article said (from the start and throughout) wasn't happening [despite indicating that it evidently has to be happening].
Well, i'm glad there's clear messaging going out there to help people with their electronic freedom.

Is this to dodge some algorithmic censorship or something?

Not to worry, the right answer is buried in there.

Unlike Kashmir and Punjab, other Indian states are not affiliated to a religion. So Pakistan is unable to kindle religious sentiments.

$2,250/year average income in 1955. 2024 average household income is $80k.

That's not apples and oranges so let's assume (dubiously but for the sake of discussion) that the average household income was $4,500 in 1955. That would make these houses a bit less than 2x the household income.

Average house price in 2023 was $412k, or a little over 5x household income.

Corvids are smart as hell, but I still wonder how they got that one to cooperate with the photo.

I would love to believe that. And maybe it's even true.

Well maybe not sacrifice as in 'kill' but just distribute their wealth and put them out to pasture. :)

For a start, it would be useful to turn the richest into the most liberated person every year. Later, the anti competition could be elaborated by choosing five or more candidates or adding further categories.
@Bellarome let us stick to the suggestion every year the richest. Otherwise, the other richest would try to bribe their way out, or rely on not winning the departure ticket.
According to Forbes, the first emergency victim should be someone else.
