So how exactly am I being tracked when I make a note on #nostr? I wrote a not about lottery on here a couple of days ago. I just clicked on a YouTube playlist someone shared with me and it opened in browser so it wasn't connected to my paid (ad free) account, and I just got served an ad about a formula to winning the lottery. 👀

If you typed it with gboard on your android phone, you could have signaled to google that you want lottery info...

... Shit. Now I have.

On noes.

Yeah. I do use that as it's just the easiest keyboard to use.

Yeah. So they basically record everything you type with it.

They do that with everything.

Hmm, I thought I turned off permission to that but maybe it was something else 🤔

I mean...

Does that REALLY stop them?

Who knows.

its probably OS level tracking.

Google device? iOS?

Windoze?

not nostr.

It's possible I might have typed lottery in my avandanium browser but that's connected to duckduck go search. I am on graphene os but I do use Gboard I think as mentioned. Hmmm.

DuckDuckGo makes most of its money from keyword-based advertising. They pretend to care about your privacy but it's all privacy-washing bullshit. Never trust a service who makes money through ads.

Might want to switch to a different search engine

I am just using the default one that comes with graphene os would have thought it's the best choice
