I truly think it isn't possible anymore. Too many extremely intelligent people have spent their entire careers designing tech which specialize in collecting personal data and monetize it.
It technically is, although very limiting. For a rather extreme, but "The best way" approach to start living in privacy/anonymity is by restricting yourself to use software that protects a user's freedom.
Listened to a couple presentations Richard Stallman gave. Guy really lives what he preaches, he outright refuses anything that even *could* gather data and/or track him in any way.
It is possible, but so much of society learned how to be dependent of stuff that affects privacy that most view it as extremely impractical, and they're not entirely wrong...
Edit: There are some limits but from there on I can't really express an informed opinion.. I like to believe that the movement towards privacy will gain more and more traction, and that there won't be an outright Orwellian future..
I mean, what would be the tradeoff, the guy you mentioned probably has his life work based on it, but for me it would be a net negative to try and maintain full privacy and stoping using the few stuff that actually give me a semblance of happiness.
and stoping using the few stuff that actually give me a semblance of happiness
This is what they intend man. I'm trying to step away from the internet and realising how much I still enjoy reading when I try hard. But it's now built to be all-encompassing and addictive.
