How’s that boot taste google
Google maps classifies USA as sensitive country
Should be called “snowflake” country
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.
Argybargies? Is that a new racial slur i haven’t heard of?
As slurs go it’s pretty low tier. A bit like the French calling the English “rosbifs”, if they even still do that.
Anything that includes public transit routing? It doesn’t look like OSM or MapQuest include public transit, and I’m not seeing an option to use Apple Maps via the web browser on Android.
For destinations I go to regularly, I can easily pull up schedules without Google maps, but if I’m going somewhere new, Google maps greatly simplifies the process of figuring out which route(s) to take.
Organic maps does
I see the option for transit directions in the app, but I’ve tried a few different destinations that I’ve regularly visited via bus, and it only gave walking directions for all of them. I also tried the airport, which I usually get to via rail, and it says that subway navigation isn’t available in my region yet.
mapbox?
No, Organic Maps works similarly to Google Maps and it’s all on your device and foss
Hasn’t OSM also said that they will change it once it’s properly completed?
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…
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
This has “freedom fries” energy all over it.
Gulf of Performative Nonsense
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?!
but we already have dystopian end-stage capitalism at home
I don’t think it’s quite end stage yet. There is still some room left to become worse. Some freedoms left and some money in the pockets of regular people.
This is mid stage at best. We could be ultra taxed down to pennies as a civilization, and I don’t fully mean taxes just cost of living/food, cost of goods, medical, etc. Living like the movie Elysium.
just when you think this timeline can’t get any stupider.
Pace yourself, we got almost four years to go. At least.
someone needs to make a Firefox plugin that reverts the change.
We have now decided that this someone is you.
If I hadn’t had a stroke in november and am still trying to get my brain back to normal I would totally learn how.
I’ve made a couple of Firefox extensions just for personal/fun stuff, might give this a shot.
Just change every “X of Y” to “X of America.”
Then we’ll change the X, also to “America.”
First thing first, rename the country as American America of America.
That (if taken literally)… would also make Elon “the CEO of America”.
Maybe a CSS would work, stylus is fairly easy to use
Google a lil’ bitch
EDIT: little to lil’
Pathetic
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.
by isolating themselves
From healthy people
