Die Tech-Milliardäre sind zu Aktivisten geworden. Weil sie an Trump glauben. Weil sie Geschäfte mit der US-Regierung machen und ihre Pfründe sichern wollen. Weil die Regierung ihr Treiben unter die Lupe nimmt. Oder alles zusammen.

I watched a brief video yesterday explaining permaculture (permanent agriculture). It was interesting but quite limited as it was fundamentally an ad for the presenter's book on permaculture. I'll not be buying the book but I may well investigate permaculture a little further. Just by the by, I shan't buy it because my age related enfeeblement means an hour in the garden leaves me worn out and it would take many hours to achieve the results that appear in the small garden in the video. That's my exculpation taken care of :)
It's a nice story, but in practice an open pollinated variety will have 1/3 less yield than selected hybrids from the population. Capitalism killed the seed saver star.
@Muse I have the joy of a library in town here, and of a large and extremely well stocked source of free books. If I want to read about permaculture I can explore those places but if I wanted to have a book permanently available I'd need to buy it if it was not available in the free book store.
Das letzte Lied, das Eva Cassidy (2. Februar 1963 – 2. November 1996) kurz vor ihrem viel zu frühen Tod heute vor 28 Jahren gesungen hat. https://youtu.be/j1lISmNrH3c 🎶

Dorfnacht folgt Dorfmorgen folgt Sonnenaufgang über den Osthügeln und die verhalten Rückkehr all der Klänge, die den Tagen inmitten der Felder und Wäler gehören. Wieder beizeiten aufgewacht, Schwingen mit irgendwelchen Takten, ohne zu wissen, mit welchen, und jetzt Suchen: Das Frische des Wassers, die ersten Farben, die das neue Licht hergibt. Stadtfern reglose Stille in den Steinen, unter den Füßen, denen die gewohnten sanften Vibrationen der Umgebung, der Straßen, der Züge und Kreuzungen fehlen. Erste Gespräche, in kurzen Sätzen, Sprache ohne viel Schmuck so früh nach den Träumen. Und natürlich Kaffee. Weil Fixpunkte immer gut sind. Habt es mild heute!
[(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.
