Genuine question. What part of what I said makes me a sucker?
I only have so long to live on this earth. I'm not going to expend excessive amounts of energy on things that are unlikely to have any REAL effect on my life. I don't give a shit if they listen in on me. I talk about work as a delivery driver (not Amazon), my wife's work as a hotel front desk help, trackmania and Baldur's Gate. Lots of state secret stuff there for me to be worried about.
Again as I said... find me an easy to use plug and play FOSS voice assistant system and I will throw Alexa in the trash.
I enjoy the home I have set up and I feel relaxed when I return from a long day at work. The Alexa system has helped make that a reality.
