This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Don't forget the other random renaming he did, Denali. It'll always be Denali to myself and the climbing community.
I can’t believe I still have it but I’m going to start actively changing emails on all my old accounts on services I had registered with gmail before I switched.
How’s that boot taste google
When they do it, We need to encourage people to report it as incorrect information. If everyone does it then it may be enough for show we don’t want this and don’t want to be seen as the fools the White House actually is.
Guess they'll do anything to appease the new self appointed co-dictators of North America...
Gulf of Performative Nonsense
Gulf of Pretention
This has "freedom fries" energy all over it.
No, see y'all've got it backwards. It's the Gulf of America, not the Gulf of the United States of America. He's making it more inclusive!
/s
just when you think this timeline can’t get any stupider.
Pace yourself, we got almost four years to go. At least.
Wow. I did not expect to see the current amount of boot licking by big tech and practically all of the tech-bros. This can't be good. They certainly expect to get something in return from the current administration. Likely some dystopian end-stage capitalism?!
What till y'all find out they label Nihon as "Japan".
Google's doing what they always do, following official government naming conventions. If, and when, the US officially changes the name, they will follow suit.
Personally, I'd rather they get their back up and say "no", but at least they're being internally consistent.
Wait until folks find out Greeks call Greece "Hella" and Hungarians call Hungary "Magyarország" (Land of the Magyars)
I wanna know how "Nihon" got turned into "Japan" in the first place. A lot of things are just from the foreigner mishearing; but how the hell did someone mishear "Nihon" as "Japan?" They don't even sound close! Not even from a thick Japanese accent!
It's from an old Portuguese recording of the Mandarin Cipan. So, yeah lol
If you see the Gulf of Mexico pop up on street map your car may be floating.
mapbox?
Hasn't OSM also said that they will change it once it's properly completed?
Switch to the open source and private Organic Maps folks!
not really an option for many ppl with useful features missing like satellite image, street view, public transport
They honestly feel a bit like a satirical version of North Korea by isolating themselves with certain policies, and making crazy threats to anyone they can.
Google a lil' bitch
EDIT: little to lil'
Well that's OK. It's not uncommon for different countries to name bits of land and water differently from everyone else. Take Germany for example. The locals call it Deutschland. The French call it Allemagne. Or there are the Falklands, known by the argybargies as Las Malvinas. If Donny McFart in North Mexico wants to call that bit of water the Freedom Gulf or whatever then good for him! As long as he realises it works both ways.
Except no one in the US except for McTrumpy calls it the Gulf of America
Pathetic
Send error reports for every body of water in the unites States.
Label them all the gulf of mexico.
I mean if you want to be really stupid, call it the Gulf of Texas.
Gulf of Mississippi. Let them be #1 in something nice.
It really sucks that Google dropped "Don't be evil" from their mission statement.
You can change the maps to suck up to the Orange Idiot, but you can't make people actually call it that.
Those companies always gravel, in China Taiwan is probably called “China’s island resort 🏝️”
