My kids played "sonos" and "Alexa" in the car today. The script:
"Hey Alexa, play <some song>"
Then they all sing that song together. Or,
"Hey sonos, play <some song>"
"I'm sorry, I don't understand. Please use the sonos app."
It was also allowed to have fun with the volume in either system.

I love that #sonos #voicecommands are #localonly... but it's frustrating that even my 4 year olds notice the tradeoff in capability. Keep working on it, sonos, we really need companies like you!

Ah, thank you @manisha for solving this mystery! So it is a special feature of the "Glitch Edition" of Mastodon? It looks to me like the #LocalOnly option you see here in Compose when you click "..." defaults to on - but my browser's "Dark Reader" extension hides the slider switch and just shows a checkmark or 'x', which was a bit confusing. Since people unfamiliar with #Glitch are apparently unaware of this feature, maybe it should default to off?

But... It must already default to off for new posts, because I see all of those federated! Maybe it is only defaulting to on for replies?

At least from my new account here I can see all of @nadel's posts!

I'm getting tired of buying cameras that just open up my home to the internet.

Eufy strips ‘local-only’ promises from its camera privacy commitment after being caught lying https://9to5google.com/2022/12/16/eufy-privacy-promises/

@alcinnz the web is working to support a #LocalOnly transport, via the Web Packaging format: https://github.com/WICG/webpackage

It has two main parts:
1) the ability to cryptographically sign individual pieces of content such that we can trust it indeed came from the domain name it says it originated from.
2) the ability to bundle multiple pieces of content into a bigger piece of content

so someone could request a page, the bus could fetch, then everyone could download it.

Imo you'd have to bundle a browser which is a bad premise.

What is interesting to me is bundling the website assets completely. The so called web-package work underway is an attempt to standardize this, via a bundling & via asset signing extensions.

One of the stated use cases is #LocalOnly web page sharing with someone else.

I've added my two cents to this PR on MS GitHub:
