I'm part of those people. The usual argument is that everybody's phone is listening all the time, without agreeing to permissions or showing the mic notification or anything like that. I've never seen any proof of that. This article is about a bunch of shovelware apps (Pool 3D, Beer pong: Trickshot, Honey Quest etc) that aren't even listed anymore. There's nothing about them skirting permissions or hiding the notification.

People see the headline and assume it's Facebook et al.

Sorry I think I'd agree. No argument for us today :(

What's your most controversial opinion?

I commented on a hexbear thread about defederating with feddit.uk (my instance) over transphobia. It's been a busy day.

I disagree with this, and I'd downvote it, but it sounds like they're just repeating what the supreme court said. I don't think it deserves a ban.

Completely defederating with us over this is insane

You mean you don't cut it open and scoop?

I FUCKING HATE GIFT VOUCHERS.

I have a little stack of vouchers for places I almost never visit, all expiring at random times in the next year or so. I have to remember what shops I have them for and make sure I spend money there before they expire. It's just one more thing to worry about. "Oh, I have to buy this from Screwfix - do we have the vouchers for them? Maybe! How much? I don't know, it doesn't say on there. Has it expired yet? Not sure. Do they work online? Oh it's not working maybe we used it and forgot to bin it". And then the annoyance of spending money somewhere and forgetting to use vouchers. Why do people burden me with this and consider it a gift? Do I look like somebody who shops at John Lewis?!

I've seen a lot of slop in my time

It's Sir Lanka, disprover of bullshit

There's plenty of countries missing from that rankings list, and I bet those are the ones using less energy. Especially considering microstates like Vatican, the statement could be technically correct
