Mexican President Threatens to Sue Google Over 'Gulf of America' Label on Maps.

Fr, I try, but it’s really not possible to get away from these companies.
Nobody wants signal, nobody wants mastodon, nobody wants or frankly can use openstreetmaps. Alternatives are just not good enough
-
President of mexico is just showing themselves to be as big of a baby as trump. Best thing to do is ignore it. Its of such little importance.
-
I prefer the name "golfo del gringo loco"
-
Invest in a snowblower
-
DuckDuckGo is just Bing. And Microsoft is not any better in terms of kissing Trump's ass.

Alternatives are just not good enough
And to no fault of their own of course. They just aren't working with the same resources as Google and the others.
I think it's more a question of stepping down our level of comfort at this point. Can we live without a particular service that Google provides, when there are no alternatives with feature parity? Or can we live with the fact that some of the features aren't working as well or missing, and use the alternatives anyway?

I see you haven't met the MAGA-filled Central Valley and northern Californian populations.
-
I like edamame and fried tofu. Does that make me one too?
-
Showing with both names does not make it any better and I'm not sure why you think it does. They're just kowtowing to a unilateral decision made by one of the multiple countries that border the Gulf of Mexico.
I assume you would not want Taiwan to be called Chinese Taipei on Google Maps despite China calling it that.
-
The official name is the Gulf of Mexico. It doesn't become a different name just because Trump declares it. It isn't up to him.
-
I'm outside the U.S. and Mexico. This is what I see.
Incidentally, that is also what Mexicans see.
Trump and Google have decided that the whole world has to acknowledge Trump's unilateral declaration.
-
in their jurisdiction (Mexico) it is actually the "Gulf of Mexico" in Google Maps, they don't get the "Gulf of America" name.
I'm in Europe and for me it says "Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)". 🥴

He was into a girl, but you beat her over the head with a club and dragged her back to your cave by her hair before he could make the first move (and beat her over he head with a club and drag her back to his cave by her hair).
You trog-blocked him, dude.

It's not about harm. It's about kissing Trump's ass on something he doesn't actually get to decide to stay on his good side.
-
Right? Honestly there are plenty of geographical features that are named differently between different languages and countries. It really doesn't affect anybody except people in the US.
-
This is what I see in England. Why should I have to see what Trump thinks the Gulf's name is when it wasn't renamed here?
-
China calls Taiwan "Chinese Taipei." Should Google Maps show "Taiwan (Chinese Taipei)" on maps? Because I don't see how that would be China's call any more than the name of the Gulf would be Trump's call.
-
I want to know how many of the people here defending Google's decision would be okay with Google labeling Taiwan as "Taiwan (Chinese Taipei)" for people in Taiwan and also the rest of the world.

or we keep american shit inside america.
fuck googlemaps, apple and all other shitty US corporations.
see, tump will die some day and be forgotten, but people will remember what apple and google did.
next time you see someone work for alphabet...spit them in the face. next time an american buys a burger, you spit on it. etc.
it is not about actual harm as america is killing itself anyway atm. my bingo card says if trump wins twice, there shall also be two pandemics. maybe protest the egg prices a bit more before using that muri-brain to do sth. against it. americans are just stupid. -
you both are stupid. "let the bully do it".
how about Fuck the USA? much sexier.
