I’ve persistently used Alexa - but only because I received a bunch Echo devices from a friend and it was easy to set up.
I’m planning to move to a locally controlled voice assistant as soon as I have time to figure it out.
Alexa (and Amazon) is f***ing invasive. I’m tired of it. Plus, I use it only for home assistant control and timers. I don’t need her to tell me jokes. 🙄

My sentiment exactly… It sounds like I need to look more into locally controlled voice assistants as well, would love to hear your experience with it if you get to it anytime soon!

I didn’t even know locally controlled voice assistants were a thing, I’d love to hear updates once you look into it!
