        The relationship is symbiotic. It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it.

        Previously:

        And it will undoubtedly pay off for them. This is the first brazenly tech oligarchy-driven administration.

        Remember who was at Trump’s inauguration? Musk, obviously, but also:

        • Tim Cook, CEO of Apple
        • Jeff Bezos, CEO of Amazon
        • Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta
        • Sundar Pichai, CEO of Alphabet

        .
        Trump, a populist president, is flanked by tech billionaires at his inauguration

        Tim Apple isn’t your friend, either. No oligarch is.

      Ok I’m kind of confused now. I’m with you. I feel like I’m having Mandela syndrome of whatever that is because I remember reading about it last night over and over and, but can’t remember if I ever checked from Canada. I doubt I did because I decided to ditch the ecosystem.

      But it does say Gulf of Mexico right now anyway in Canada. Still inexcusable regardless, but not quite as bad as Google’s bullshit listing both.

        It’s not going to change in Canada because maps are dynamic. Borders aren’t recognized the same way everywhere, and names aren’t the same everywhere; therefore map providers render the map as it is recognized in the viewer’s location.

          This is Google dot ca from last night. I’m curious if the map app behaves differently.

          Edit: Google Earth app from a mobile device in Canada:

            Yeah I noticed, I’m not sure why they added the parentheses.

        The labels are geofenced. You get a different one depending on your location. VPN to somewhere in the states - you should see the new (stupid) name.
