Remove Google (Alphabet), Apple, Microsoft, Facebook (Meta), and Amazon from your life (and more, of course, but these are the big tech ones). Difficult but 100% necessary these days. De-Google your Android phone/tablet (basically Android without Google is possible), use Linux, order from small businesses, don't use social media owned by big corporations, etc.
Got any recommendations? I looked into this but found only graphene or calyx as real contenders but it requires a pixel phone. Not that I'm absolutely am against pixel hardware but having to buy a new phone while I still have 3 or so years of software support on my current phone seems a bit silly: - /
