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

Oh, the cartel leader criminal is throwing a fit. Lmao

"Mount McKinley" is "just a name" for what is supposed to be called Denali. Ask an indigenous person if they think changing the name of a sacred mountain to the name of a man responsible for one of them many genocides of their people is "just a name."
Then ask virtually any black person if they don't care about Trump and Republicans restoring Confederate generals' names to military bases. Find out if they think it's "just a name."
Names have power and I'm amazed you don't realize that.

Republicans are so good at baiting liberals into useless bullshit arguments, while they plunder stuff that actually matters.
-
Not quite.
DuckDuckGo's results are a compilation of "over 400" sources according to itself, including Bing, Yahoo! Search BOSS, Wolfram Alpha , Yandex, and its own web crawler (the DuckDuckBot); but none from Google. It also uses data from sites such as wikipedia, to populate knowledge panel boxes to the right of the search results.

I'm telling you this is what he wants: people to get all worked up and virtue signaling for MAGA
-
Its main partnership is with Bing.
And this is why it's a problem: https://www.theregister.com/2022/06/17/brave_duckduckgo/

Ignoring my entire post is a choice, I'll give you that.

So you are gonna have to provide a source explaining how the president using an executive order to rename international water is "policy" that Google must follow.
They you'll have to explain why I, as a Canadian, have to see this stupid renaming in parentheses.
If the US truely doesn't have a system beyond "once the president orders it, it's renamed." That's their problem but I don't give a fuck what they call things and I don't know why google thinks I should.
-
It’s still preferable to vanilla bing and google because the privacy is stronger and it produces useful results. There is no perfect search engine, right now we have to compromise.

The East India Company is the first example that comes to mind. I'm sure others.
I really don't think we are living through unprecedented times, unfortunately. People have sucked for as long as we've existed.
-
Who should care about petty stuff .
Wether it's the orange clown trying to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the little unwashed cokehead making a point of calling Kiev Kiyv.
I'm surprised Google, that is100% a US regime tool didn't rename that Chinese province already. -
And I'm saying it's just a name. Call it whatever you want. He means it as a distraction. There's more important things
-
See, I learned this in Spanish class in my American high school, and I don't think that linguistic fact stuck with me! Thanks
-
California should rather join Denmark.
-
If you disapprove of internet companies caving to authoritarian politics, I have bad news for you about Yandex
-
Yeah, "America".
-
Still ignoring what I wrote.
-
Did you really just call Taiwan a Chinese province?
-
I'm not ignoring it. I'm saying it's just a name. I will continue to call it the Gulf of Mexico for the rest of my life, or probably just "the Gulf". I never used another term for French fries, # is still a pound sign, and I'm not going to worry about this.

Yeah, I still find it impressive how good mastodon and lemmy are given the limitations.
For sure, and that is possible for personal things, but for social things it’s almost impossible to live without some features.
People don’t want to step down their level of comfort when it comes to WhatsApp (where I live people don’t use SMS because they’re limited), so you’re forced to either keep your contacts (which includes family) or move to signal/threema/session/matrix/etc. But have no one to talk to
