  Instead of "you're doing it wrong", suggest alternatives. When someone is learning, help them learn more. When something isn't good, you needn't pretend that it is, but don't be gratuitously negative. https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html

    The alternative here is pretty obvious - a text box.

      'Don't be a jerk' is the more important, seemingly less obvious alternative.

        Requesting microphone permissions for something that would actually be easier without it is also very obnoxious, and for anywhere with GDPR perhaps even illegal if the data was persisted. Maybe this is why it isn't available in Europe?

          The guideline is there to avoid escalating obnoxiousness because it trashes the forum.

  Perhaps it’s just a honeypot to capture some voices of hacker news readers. I’m now suspicious whenever someone has a stupid tool that the real purpose is to train some model with the input.
