I am looking for a voice assistant that is as private as could be its a NEED not a want. I am aware of Mycroft who has discontinued service. I am aware of Rhasspy but it seems like a lot to setup and maintain.

I'm more looking for how to privatize something mainstream on mobile to always have it with me, not a standalone at home device. I'm talking Alexa, Siri, Google assistant, ect. For to do lists, reminders, looking up questions on the web. The usual use cases. In what ways can one make their assistant a little more privacy friendly without not using one? Which assistant is best? Thanks.

Edit: I've considered setting one behind VPN, Behind something like Pihole to block Calling Home from said app or device.

Need distro advice in c/[email protected]

I game on Linux mint and have had very little issues out of the box. Worth noting its super easy to game on and steam is seamless. Not a hard distro to learn with tons of forums and updates. Lightweight and overall no major complaints as I only broke my system myself tinkering with things I wanted to tweak. I've always fixed it relatively easily and I don't know much about terminal commands. Tons of info online, mostly copy and paste. Cheers.

This though is easy to say but not do. I'm not a hateful person but its not so simple as flipping a switch. Unfortunately.

The noise from squeezing the bottle especially in any public place.. For 30 to 40 you can get a cold water bidet that hooks into your toilet water. But it is worth it to go heated water and heated dry. Hell even heated seat. Its worth the spend.

Anyone have any experience with this app? Could it be malware? Are there other Foss or FLOSS alternatives?

A reputable VPN can block this. I'm not sure if the store can solely. I don't believe so. If your blocked for any reason you need a good VPN. ****

Should be all, its simply a frontend. I have never seen an app be "missing" so to say.

Does this exist?? Messaging platform with a panic button from any member. (lemmy.ml)

Basically I am looking for a messaging platform like signal or? but with anonymous signup, perfect forward secrecy, capable of video chat, sending photos the usual uses in today's life. But with a panic button. So that any party member could use said button to wipe all other members devices of any data instantly inside the messaging app. So if one member gets compromised, or lost their device, stolen device ect, any other member could wipe all chats, call log, and any other data strictly inside the messaging client instantly for everyone involved. Disolving the group like it never existed rendering the data unrecoverable. Amazons Wickr used to have most of these features but it is being discontinued December 2023 and who trusts amazon with their data. Does something like this exist? Sorry if I'm not explaining it well I'll do my best to clarify and update this post. I am not trying to delete the whole device. Just the data inside the messaging app. If that does not exist. What about a separate app that could delete the entire messaging platform from the device when triggered. Assume all necessary requirements are met and this is for daily use. Between a group of trusted parties.

Updated wording to clarify the objective as replies where getting misunderstood.
