“Gulf of Trump” just go for the gusto you fucking spinless pussies.
I know it’s not deliberate, but phrases like ‘spineless pussies’ are why women don’t feel welcome on lemmy.
Is lemmy truly a left-leaning platform? Or is it yet another tech-bro circlejerk that cares more about the aesthetics of inclusivity? You all can’t have your cake and it eat it too.
Another day another issue that completely doesn’t matter at all to distract from the fact that our politicians are incapable of actually fixing any of our problems.

Or making them worse. He just upped taxes on the lower classes and gave the rich tax breaks… again.
Draining the swamp!
Politicians are more than capable of solving our problems. They’re paid not to.
I think you’re overestimating humans. Even if we actually attempted to solve all of our problems I seriously doubt we can. I do wonder how much better things could be though.

What are you talking about? Oligarchs are living their best lives right now. Trump is in office and there is nothing that is not up for sale. If you have big money right now, the US is your oyster. Bend the knee, kiss the ring and grease the palm. You’ll walk away with your own fiefdom. Pay a bit more and he’ll rent an office in the White House.
Keep reporting it as a bug.
They never fix bugs in maps. Some places IRL even got renamed, because it was easier than fixing the name in google maps.
Do you have any examples? It’s impossible to find with a search with the recent news.
Sorry, unable to find it now either and my memory fails me. There’s a chronically mislabeled place near where I live, but I don’t want to doxx myself. So, please have this vaguely related fun story instead: https://www.thesun.ie/news/14465782/ghost-aldi-supermarket-tourists-lorry
Time to ditch Maps then.
Vote to change it to Gulf of Luigi
What the hell. No one’s going to call it the Gulf of America, except for the magas, the rapist and his useless offspring.
This is 4 years of drivel and it’ll always be knows as the Gulf of Mexico.
The man in charge is the biggest moron to ever be given power to lead.
Electing a rapist seems like a very American thing to do, who also married an immigrant, which is very odd since he’s doing his best to stop immigration.
Something something racist rapist hypocrite.
Only hot and or under aged immigrants are acceptable. Specially if they have big natural boobs because that means new Americans with big natural boobs. I think penis-wise probably they might consider 8" and longer but must be very girthy. What do I know, I’m not a rapist politician. I could be totally wrong.
Can’t imagine wanting to work for big tech these days lol. These companies had insane reputation in the 2010s. People thought working for Google was like working in willy wonka’s chocolate factory. They really squandered their brand.
Yeah, I’ve been meaning to switch to OpenStreetMaps for a while now and this was the impetus to drop what I was doing and download it immediately. Fuck Google. So sick of this mask off tech plutocracy bullshit.
Edit: I’ve tried it a few times yesterday and today, and I like it. Works with Android Auto in my car, guidance voice isn’t annoying, directions are accurate. Only complaint is I’m not sure how to search up a business and have the app map me to the nearest location. I need to dig deeper and figure out if I just haven’t found it yet.
I would 100% drop GMaps if I could hit the directions button on a Google search and have it bring up OSM instead. Google Maps has been bugged for me for years and the maps app never gets the address from a browser search. I have to search for the business or address in the maps app itself for it to work.
I’ve been sitting on moving off Gmail. Not anymore.
What are going to use for email now?
I switched to Proton mail and haven’t looked back since
- Custom domain support
- Email encryption
- can auto-import from gmail
This idea originated as a Stephen Colbert joke in 2010. As always I’m sure some will call this some sort of self-aware troll by Trump, but what are the odds of that.
Given Colbert took the absurdity of conservatism in the US and cranked it up to 11… I’m not surprised it’s becoming reality now.
Why not get right down to it and call it exactly what they want it for?
Gulf of Oil…
Where did this gulf of America thing come from anyway. It just seems so left field. Was it a hot topic among the MAGA or something?
It just seems like he woke up one day and had an idea 💡
Someone was saying they want to rename it to work around the laws preventing drilling in the Gulf. It sounds really stupid, but that is on par for this shit show of an administration.
They’re on this stupid renaming kick. Renaming all the “woke” names back to the “original” white slavers and racists these places originally honored. There are few enough brain cells and energy in government and this is what Trump is making them waste it on. Gulf of THE AmericaS would make sense but obviously the intent is to claim it as the US’s.
You know what, sure whatever. It burns their political capital and it doesn’t actively oppress people
This should be only for users in that shithole.
I cannot believe they bent on this at all. This isn’t the will of the people or a problem we asked to solve it is the asinine rantings of a fucking baby. Why the fuck am I stuck in this timeline holy shit.
“The Trump administration has passed a resolution saying that Mexico will now be called ‘America South’ and Canada ‘America North’. Google said it will follow the government’s lead in changing the names on it’s maps app.”
