So happy that I made the change for Linux Mint yesterday and said goodbye to Microsoft forever. Let’s not forget that their billions comes from us.
Reported in Apple Maps as incorrect name. Won’t change anything, but it needed to be done.
Yeah me too. And a snide comment about supporting this douchebag. Made me feel better at least.
I wrote that “Gulf of America” is only used by an authoritarian regime and “not widely used.”
Please everyone do your part to report the incorrect information on google maps.
- On your Android phone or tablet, open the Google Maps app.
- Navigate to the gulf of Mexico
- Tap Menu (your profile pictude) Send feedback (way at the bottom). Wrong information.
OsmAnd still holding out! I will never not call it the Gulf of Mexico.
I think the world should stop calling USians americans. America is a huge place spanning 2 continents encompassing so many different cultures uniquely American. I always thought it was weird calling Mexicans in the US, Mexican American. It’s like saying American American. Wouldn’t Mexicans in Mexico also be Mexican Americans? Just never felt right to me.
Regardless of your stance on the name change, doesn’t the executive order (and subsequent updating of the names register or whatever it’s called) make it official? In which case the maps are just being updated to reflect it.
Afaik they’re not changing it anywhere outside the US as (so far…) that’s the only place it’s been changed, so it’s not like they’re pushing that name in places where it’s not official.
It’s also not unheard of to have map details that vary depending on where you are, to align with the official stance of wherever the map is being viewed from. Ukraine, bits of the India/Pakistan border, IIRC some islands off Japan disputed by China, etc.
Not saying the name change isn’t stupid and not suggesting at all that the companies in question aren’t scum, but getting angry at the map maintainers for this change seems pointless. What did you expect them to do?
Am I missing something?
As absolutely stupid as this is, it’s no different than changing the maps to show Denali rather than Mount McKinley. I don’t think you’re missing anything.
Is it no different, or is it different in a kind of huge obvious way? Denali is US property. The gulf ain’t.
You’re next, New Mexico!
They do that shit even in other languages, where it is clearly and simply wrong.
End stage capitalism.
Organic Maps is great btw.
Not sure why anyone is surprised…they’re all bootlicking corporations that don’t want the mob boss to fuck with their mergers and/or investigate them for their various crimes.
There have been a lot of sycophantic comments floating around here the past 24 hours about how Apple was better because they didn’t change it when Google did. Now the same folks are saying well Apple had no choice. So weird to lick the boots of trillion dollar companies.
Are you confident those are the same users?
Because Apple people are in a cult.
Someone please make it stop?
It hasn’t even been an entire month yet…
There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen.
Holy shit, I can’t believe this is true
1438 days, 14 hours, 6 minutes remaining.
Well I can hear right now…
Stahp!
I asked nicely? Please?
Get your guillotine ready, because this is just starting.
From now on I will only refer to the USA as Estados Unidos de América.
Estados Unidos de Norteamérica
Northern Mexico sounds better. That will make President Elon annoyed and the First Lady Tramp throw a tantrum.
The next Democrat should run with the goal to rename it to Gulf of Donald’s Defeat. I would vote for them.
Assuming we don’t just get 8 years of President Vance…
Assuming you ever get to vote again. I thinks it’s extremely naive to believe Pedonald will ever leave office. Americans choose fascism, it’s not just a figure of speech.
I’m not American, I just live here… for now
Fuck the C-suite execs🤘
I’m still going to call it the Gulf of Mexico🇲🇽Golfo de México
Reported a missing massage parlor named Tim Cook’s Orange Lips
You’re in a bubble if this surprises you. You thought when Kamala sent Mark Cuban out to tell everyone how much Kamala loves big business & corporate interests that it meant they would protest the government under Trump? You don’t like the name change then next election don’t advocate for a non-primaried genocidal Dick Cheney supporter.
