Yes, sadly it does. The best alternative is #Immich but it is difficult to get running (uses Docker)
This is a great journalist to support!
I pay monthly to this blog, and also to the other thing she's involved in: The Citizens https://the-citizens.com/
After all she's the one who broke the #CambridgeAnalytica story!

Good email choices are Tuta or Proton.
Tuta allows your phone to use the contacts in your Contacts app, Proton doesn't.
Here's a great #book to read: Privacy Is Power by Carissa Veliz
A well written primer on how to fight back against the threat of #surveillancecapitalism

If your public key is used anywhere you go - all clients - in the Nostr realm, doesn't that make us vulnerable to being profiled by companies to use for advertising?
In other words your public key acts like a persistent advertising ID?

Can anyone recommend a spec list for a PC (that will run Linux) that will be a self hosting server?

Amazing article from #ShoshanaZuboff that explains how #bigtech took over, why they are #antidemocratic, and what we can do about it:

Spoiler alert - we need to ban #SurveillanceAdvertising, the fuel of #SurveillanceCapitalism

Resist using #algorithms, people - that's the path to #microtargeting and therefore #manipulation, and therefore #fakenews and lack of faith in the truth. And from that you get a herd of dumbasses š
Great quote from Shoshana Zuboff:
"democracies now stumble toward a future that their citizens did not and would not choose: an ACCIDENTAL DYSTOPIA owned and operated by private surveillance capital, but underwritten by democratic acquiescence, cynicism, collusion and dependency."

Strong recommendation for this excellent new #deathmetal album from Ashen Tomb š¤

This article makes you laugh - it's absurd how #google and #meta have online advertising so sewn up - and then cry... What can be done about these bullies?
