Do you have a preferred technique for limiting mobile/cell phone tracking?

@syntax I suppose that if I cared about "being tracked", I would turn off my phone, cancel my internet, and go live in a cave in the mountains. As it is, living in the modern world means sharing your information, which is a kind of modern currency.
@Korsier I think living in the modern world shouldn't require a trade-off of privacy etc. in order to share information in ways you can control (to the extent possible). I think one of the biggest problems today is people's conditioned belief that you simply have to relinquish control and rights in order to get the best out of technology.
@Korsier Of course, the first thing I think everyone should do is leave Google and Facebook behind for good, and ideally help others find better alternatives for social media (i.e. Mastodon etc.), cloud backups etc. If you want an alt to Google Drive, I'd highly recommend @nextcloud
