Google says it will change Gulf of Mexico to 'Gulf of America' in Maps after government updates
-
If this was a different admin, it was an international agreement and the name change was to refer to the the continent, I'd be on board. As it stands, this looks like the sort of BS power play the CCP does with the South China Sea.

yeah, America was a continent long before US was a thing. Which makes the "MAGA" slogan hilarious, as if he's governing for the other countries in America too.

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

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.

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.

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. -

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.

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.

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