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)

Truth. I should have mentioned I'm not a huge fan of multi key combos to perform actions. I guess that's why I gravitate towards vim over emacs. Good to know though.

I wouldn't consider myself a power user if vim or the bindings I don't normally use the markers or anything. However, I will spend a lot of time and effort to get just a small set of basic commands into my ide.

I like my hands on my keyboard and vim bindings allows super easy common things like ~ for capitalization of a single character. 'gUw' for uppercasing a word. 'dd' is much better to delete a line; than highlighting and deleting with a mouse. The most bad ass things I think it does incredibly well, is grabbing text or changing text between () or {} symbols. A simple 3 key command grabs the text between the symbol, deletes it, puts you in edit mode. Screw it up esc-u.

Another cool thing I use is vim clipboard and the system OS clip board in tandem.

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.

Oh yes and it plays extremely smooth. Absolutely fantastic game, that doesn't get nearly enough credit.

Titanfall 2... Goodness that ending had my kiddo misty eyed. As for me, there was dust in my hand room or my allergies were acting up.
