Google says it will change Gulf of Mexico to 'Gulf of America' in Maps after government updates

[witx@lemmy.sdf.org]

W.r.t Pluto then you're no better than those people denying the science. The golf of Mexico's renaming is due to ego and politics, Pluto's classification is not

[cascadiangiraffe@lemmy.world]

Do. Not. Comply.

Giving in is what gives them the power.

I absolutely will call out people who think it's ok to just go along with the new fascist regime.

I've heard of MILFs... but i've only seen GILFs in Japan. That's not the geography we're discussing here.

iirc it was not just to troll rusians, it was because it was found kalinin was a murderous psycho killing a lot of poles for the red army.

[sirushimself@lemmy.today]

But it's not even a win, if he would have called it gulf of united states, ok... but he didn't realize that America refers to all of us, how do you not get that. It's the dumbest mistake made by the dumbest president to ever grace our country. It's laughable because it's not even offensive.

You underestimate our need to troll Russians.

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

[beardedblaze@lemmy.world]

The Cyrillic still is Kaliningrad lol

[misk@sopuli.xyz]

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.

[shortrounddev@lemmy.world]

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

What you use for email?

[oxideseven@lemmy.ca]

Does Google maps allow that? Does any map program?
