I've been sitting on moving off Gmail. Not anymore.

The Cyrillic still is Kaliningrad lol

That’s because we never bothered to learn those moon runes.

Ultimate pettiness, show of power, or misdirection from other, more concerning news.
Could be all at of those or something entirely different, but it sure is pathetic.

I'm sitting on moving off proton, hell I still have 80% of my stuff on Gmail too

[triflingtoad@sh.itjust.works]

I can accept those reasons as valid, but it's still a planet to me

[triflingtoad@sh.itjust.works]

it's more so emotionally based because it's personified and I feel bad for poor Pluto , not actually thinking that Pluto should in all scientific circumstances be considered a planet.

It's a lot different to vaccine deniers who don't trust meaningful science and evidence that actually effect the lives of people and can do real harm to the lives of others.

Actually I think this is a pretty common thing. I know several people who use iPhones and other Apple products specifically to avoid the google alternatives.

That's especially fun for those of us on motorcycles. I found a particularly horrible road to ride a sport touring bike on several years ago and would have loved this feature on osm.

Can't imagine wanting to work for big tech these days lol. These companies had insane reputation in the 2010s. People thought working for Google was like working in willy wonka's chocolate factory. They really squandered their brand.

What are going to use for email now?

[squeakybeaver@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

For anyone wondering "where do they get their money?"

It's from businesses who buy their SDK. They (allegedly) don't sell any of your data

Magic Earth is free for all our end-users but we also have a paid Magic Earth SDK for business partners. For instance Selectric.de (a supplier for navigation solutions for ambulances and fire trucks), Smarter AI (developing ADAS systems) or Absolute Cycling (using the platform on bicycles). For more info on the SDK, you can check magiclane.com.

Bottom of their faq

I haven't been able to test it out yet, but it seems pretty decent

[oxideseven@lemmy.ca]

What you use for email?

[oxideseven@lemmy.ca]

Does Google maps allow that? Does any map program?

[captainlezbian@lemmy.world]

You know what, sure whatever. It burns their political capital and it doesn't actively oppress people

[klear@lemmy.world]

How many planets are there in the solar system in your opinion?

[bfg9k@lemmy.world]

I switched to Proton mail and haven't looked back since

• Custom domain support
• Email encryption
• can auto-import from gmail

What the hell. No one’s going to call it the Gulf of America, except for the magas, the rapist and his useless offspring.

This is 4 years of drivel and it’ll always be knows as the Gulf of Mexico.

The man in charge is the biggest moron to ever be given power to lead.

Electing a rapist seems like a very American thing to do, who also married an immigrant, which is very odd since he’s doing his best to stop immigration.

Something something racist rapist hypocrite.

[captainlezbian@lemmy.world]

Oh so it'll become a shibboleth like how the capital of Ohio is pronounced and spelled "central ohio" if you're at the rare intersection of cool and ohioan

[internetcitizen2@lemmy.world]

Keep reporting it as a bug.
