I was reminded that they are currently at odds with Musk (and SpaceX) because of land they bought to interfere with the border wall that Mexico was supposed to pay for.

Well, cards against humanity could get involv...

How is this not illegal??? Cards Against Humanity is PAYING people who didn't vote in 2020 to apologize, make a voting plan, and post #DonaldTrumpIsAHumanToilet—up to $100 for blue-leaning people in swing states. I helped by getting a 2024 Election Pack: www.Apologize.lol

As a parent, if my kid said "I don't want to be tracked, I'm concerned about my privacy", I'd get an intercom for everyone in the house and let the Alexa be opt in. Sounds like playing music using Alexa isn't a game changer for you. What does it matter anyway, what if you like headphones better, the Alexa stuff isn't mandatory for playing/listening to music.

If not using it for Alexa connectivity, why not just get an actual intercom? A pair is like 30 bucks on Amazon, no Internet required.

Or "hey Alexa, order an intercom system on my mom's account"

Isn't there an eavesdropping function on Alexa... Maybe it's actually less communication and more checking in on what you're doing (not to increase your paranoia)

Sure it could be the app not going to deny that. It does feel like the app has so much to offer but it's difficult to use. I have heard Magic Earth is good but since this is the privacy community I didn't mention it or compare it to osm since it's not FOSS.

Copying codes from one source into osmand still breaks your privacy though because your using Google so might as well continue using Google. I'm not super paranoid or anything but for privacy sake I'd say unless I can contain my use case to the app (and osm) it doesn't work out.

I hope the entire movement grows 😁

I agree that the idea is great but I have yet to find one single address that I need to get to using the osmand app, which kind of makes it useless. It seems incredibly difficult to use.
