Perhaps it is my naivete speaking, but I am hopeful that we will come up with tech solutions that level the playing field between the state and ourselves.
Alternatively we should use less tech in general or at least quit putting microphones and cameras on our tea kettles and toasters.
There's something calming about reducing the amount of tech in your day-to-day life and if more people tried it then perhaps we could change the culture to be less accepting of invasive surveillance devices.
Tech is not bad per se. It's the spyware tech that got naturalized. Fully FOSS privacy-friendly tech is available. There's nothing wrong with having a mic listening to your commands if the software obeys you and don't leak data.
