Let’s be clear in this. An executive order is a directive from the president to the executive branch. It is not a law. Places like Google and Apple do not have to comply with this nonsense. They choose to. Just like we can choose Android devices and engines like Duck Duck Go… #RadioFreeAmerica - ThreadSky

Just deleted Google off Home Screen. Added Bing.

elroy1313.bsky.social•11 days ago

BING.......never use google again. I know we are so used to heading to Google for everything but time to change that habit.

I need a good translator though, any suggestions? Everything else is easy.

elroy1313.bsky.social•11 days ago

Translator? Sorry you lost me.

radiofreeflorida.bsky.social•11 days ago

Google Translate app.

elroy1313.bsky.social•11 days ago

Hmmmm sorry can't help you with that.

jumpinjax100.bsky.social•11 days ago

I’m trying to drop google products. I have google translate.

Where are you from?

The EO written also doesn't change the entire Gulf's name. He only changed the shelf closest to the states. He can't change the name of an international body of water, but these people are such idiots, and so fearful, they all just go along with the rest of the mob. We're SO fucked.

greyduck68.bsky.social•11 days ago

Jesus. This is appalling.

grixit.bsky.social•11 days ago

Mapquest hasn't changed the name.

The next revolution, if we have one, will mirror our first one, except it will be against the corporate state as much as the first one was against a King and the monarchic state.

Duck duck go works great

oldsarahjane.bsky.social•11 days ago

Lame.

I choose Guru Maps.

Gulf of Atlantis is the real name actually #Fact

When this does show up on my map, if it shows up, we could start to flood Apple by all reporting and issue. but whether I have location services on or off, and however, much I zoom in or out, it is still both of Mexico for me. If I type in gulf of America, it takes me to Gulf of Mexico.

I suspect it depends on when the server supporting you updates.

sarahmannodonnell.bsky.social•11 days ago

I apologize for my previously uninformed comment… I see now that it is being reported everywhere, and that it’s being rolled out in the next couple of days. Doink. Need more coffee. I finally completely extricated myself from Google yesterday, and I’m going to organize a protest in front of apple

radiofreeflorida.bsky.social•11 days ago

👍

sarahmannodonnell.bsky.social•11 days ago

Still Mexico on my Apple Maps… when this changes I’ll protest outside my local store at the least. I deleted Google completely hoping to ***** Apple would remain true.

spacesnooper.bsky.social•11 days ago

Weak sauce, Apple! Maybe Gulf of Mexamer

VPN "location" outside the USA works too

Ecosia is a great search engine. They plant trees, too!

Shame on them

nbfiddlehead.bsky.social•11 days ago

So, how do I break up with Google? What about Gmail? Google docs and sheets. I fucking *need* Google, but now I'm reading they not only changed the gulf of Mexico, they removed holidays shitler doesn't like from Google calendar.

Literally every day is a new fucking issue.

jumpinjax100.bsky.social•11 days ago

Proton is great, I’ve heard. Do what you can as you can. We will get this done. And THEY WILL BE REMEMBERED IN HISTORY FOR WHAT THEY HAVE DONE!!!!
