Some people act like the war on corporate (and government) surveillance capitalism is lost.
I think that is the wrong attitude. Create friction by whatever means fit with your life style and work flow.
I do simple things like delete all cookies in all of my devices at least once a week, use the Duck Duck Go browser on iOS and iPadOS (I only use laptops for coding so I just use Safari and Firefox on my Mac and Linux laptops), disable location tracking as much as possible, and I use ProtonMail and Proton Calendar.
As someone once said, if you have nothing to hide, then you don’t have a life.
Personally, I believe that surveillance capitalism, with creeping neoliberalism and neoconservativism pose an existential threat to any semblance of democracy. Maybe democracy is a lost cause? I don’t believe it, and I am willing to put up some fight to at least try to preserve it.
