  • I’ve avoided Microsoft for years, but recently I’ve been reducing my Google use. I’m still on Gmail, and Street View is special, but I’ve been slowly replacing Google utilization:

    • Search: Duck Duck Go
    • Maps: Open Street Map, OsmAnd
    • Drive: Extra Hard Drives
    • Chrome: Firefox
    • Home: Home Assistant (WIP)

    Upcoming projects include replacing my phone’s Google-built Android image and transitioning to ProtonMail.

    It’s not one big project, it’s lots of projects. It’s worthwhile, though. Along the way, I’ve reconnected with my love of good tech and I’ve gained new hobbies like privacy and contributing to OSM.

    If we keep doubling, will I eventually be a person on the tracks? There are a finite number of people, so eventually I would be, right? So, passing the buck would be equivalent to handing my fate to a stranger.

    OTOH, if there are an infinite number of people, then this thought experiment is creating people out of thin air. Do these imaginary people’s rhetorical lives even matter?

    Either way, it seems better to kill 1 person at the start.
