A while ago I reached a point in my privacy journey where I simply felt bored. It's not a result of going too far in privacy, but simply my threat model has caused me to let go of a lot of things that used to entertain me (games, movie streaming, short form video, etc.) The entertainment landscape in privacy seems pretty bleak, since you no longer own the movies you watch, the games you play, and lots of proprietary software along the way. I entertain myself through FreeTube, physical copies of movies, and offline installations of games like Minecraft, but it's still a step down from how it used to be.

What do you do to keep yourselves entertained in a privacy conscious way?

Public library would be less private than just pirating the book. Public spaces tend to be thoroughly captured by stray security cameras (often with terrible Security). Impossible to avoid going outside lol so most likely fine.

    You’ll never be able to live your life if you never go out.

    Yes, I know that. Some people may need to take extra precautions when going outside. The reason for my original comment is that "outside" does not equal "more private" in many circumstances.

    Humans need sunlight and it helps to release dopamine and vitamin D. Important.
