I'm not defending Amazon, but it's important to separate facts from assumptions. The facts in this instance are that, according to Amazon's docs, they aren't listening all the time and only send recordings to the cloud after the wake word. That said, I do understand the skepticism given the company.

Just looked into this. Previously some Echo models (2020 on) allowed local processing of commands. As of March 2025 policy change, all voice interactions are processed in the cloud. However, the Echo device itself does not transmit or record audio to Amazon servers until the wake word is detected.

I was under the impression that Echo devices listen for a designated "wake word" (e.g., "Alexa") to activate. Only after detecting this wake word does the device start recording and transmitting audio to Amazon's servers. Has this changed?

Happy 99th birthday to the man whose gentle voice taught generations to see the world with both wonder and urgency. Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime devoted to planet earth. #DavidAttenborough #SirDavidAttenborough

Been a while since I devoured a book in a day, but I couldn't put down The Monsters of Rookhaven. What a glorious book. Characters, story, illustrations, paper. Incredible work by author, illustrator, and @panmacmillan.bsky.social Macmillan Children's Books #books #childrensbooks #middlegrade

I hope everyone knows that it's very easy for any social content platform, including Bluesky, to be a misery machine and that if you aren't intentional about it, they will absolutely decrease the positive impact you have on the world while making you less happy.

Book delivery days = happy days 📚

Some gifts say 'I thought of you' and some 'I cracked open your ribcage, rifled through your soul, and found the exact memory that would emotionally unravel you.' Thank you @carlymooney.bsky.social for the pristine 1984 2nd edition of Run with the Wind by Tom McCaughren. The first book I ever read.

This looks like a good flick. Hope it gets a distribution deal. It was well received at SXSW.

Companies! Not too long ago a rainbow sticker indicated your store was a safe place for LGBTQ people. Time to start doing the same specifically for trans people. A little trans flag sticker in your window. I’d make a point to shop there.
