    That’s cute and all, but it’s also pretty much what Google, Facebook, Apple, Microsoft, Spotify and all the other tech giants are doing when they’re joyfully tracking what people are doing without their knowledge or consent.

    Do people always listen to music? I only do it occasionally to enjoy and stimulate me. I think i saw a study years ago, that always noise stresses your brain out long term, be it street noise or music.

    I don’t know, man… I think it’s kind of creepy. I would not want my wife doing this to me. Even though it’s innocent, it’s still spying.

    And what if I decided to sleep in? Would she start getting more and more worried the longer the music wasn’t interrupted and then she would call me and wake me up? Then I would both not have been able to sleep in and found out about the spying.

      That’s just the name of the device. Unless you’re saying that smart speakers, or whatever you want to call them, are inherently not wholesome, which has some merit.

    This is because we have a Google home which is linked to my Spotify account.

    Cute story… this is an advertisement, even if it was not the author’s intent. I enjoy human connection and mawwiage as much as the next guy, but we can have a better story with post-google open source alternatives.

    “Will you be my Spotify Duo… til death do us part?” I texted her, over my Google Pixel 3 Watch

    sniffle “Of course my love. Nike, Just Do It™” she said, between sips of her new Folger’s dark mountain blend with new hazelnut flavor.

    “Based, fam” And then they Uber off into the sunset.
