    Any coders want to instantly have one of the most popular extensions for firefox, chrome, etc? It seems this would be the type of thing that would be relatively easy for an extension/add-on to fix.

    Oh goody, Republicans should rename a bunch of post offices too, so they can brag about how much they have made America great again -

      Yes, but:

      Who the hell says the president can rename things via executive order? Surely that’s not iterated as a power of the office.

      People toeing the line without question is how fascism works. Someone at the Board on Geographic Names bent over faster than a dippy bird.

        Aug. 30, 2015 President Obama announced on Sunday that Mount McKinley was being renamed Denali, using his executive power to restore an Alaska Native name with deep cultural significance to the tallest mountain in North America.

        You mean like that ?

        Edit: I’m in no way endorsing what trump did, which I think was a petty vindictive move on his part, I’m just pointing out that he’s far from the first to have used an executive order to rename geographical features. If anyone thinks I’m being pro trump, just take a look at my post history.

          Ok…

          So the main difference here is Denali is fully contained within the borders of the country choosing to name it.

          The Gulf of Mexico is International Waters, and the US doesn’t even have the majority of shoreline… Which is why we have an international standards body to name international waters, so people don’t get confused.

          For example, an airline flight from Tampa to Cancun reports its flying over the Gulf of America to a Mexican air traffic controller… The controller has no idea what the hell he is talking about, because THE ENTIRE GLOBE calls it “Gulf of Mexico”.

          Yeah, what the shit is that? Why can the president just make that call? Can he just rename Alabama to fucknutistan? Just because it’s accurate and historical?

          Seems like overreach. It should be a board of representative people following standards. Not the whim of a false monarch

          Oh wait. Was that supposed to be a “but Obama did it” gotcha? I’m bad at understanding social context online.

          If it was, then all I can say is that it’s better to have standards by which we judge everyone fairly, instead of giving failures like trump a pass because he happens to be Republican this week.

            It was an example of a president using executive power to rename a geographical feature, because the previous post was suggesting that such action is unheard of. It’s not. Having said that, when Obama did it, it was in response to about 35 years of petitions and requests, and not the actions of a weak minded manchild craving for attention

    That singlehandedly caused me to begin actively moving away from Google starting yesterday. Gonna be a pain in the ass, but I’m working on it.

    My interim e-mail solution is mailbox.org. Trying a 30-day free trial and annoyed at having to pay, but fuck it. It’s cheap. Like $1-$3/month. Will see.

    I’m assuming OpenStreetMaps has an app and plan to check today.

    I’ve started decluttering/backing up my Drive and Photos so that I can unsubscribe from their recently-changed shit subscription structure without losing essential files.

      Same, really want to switch, and I think after finishing this project I’m done with windows and Google. Not gonna lie, I dread switching agenda, drive, mail, maps… A lot of fucking useful stuff that I use for everything, but I don’t just want to think they are too big to fail. Fuck their behaviour.

      I’m in a similar situation. Not to make the switch harder on you, but someone here posted a page with a bunch of reviews of email providers, calling out things like cost, privacy practices, and cooperation with the federal government. Here’s their entry on mailbox.org. You might want to read through some of them while you’re still in the free trial.

        I question that because I remembered reading articles that had discussions with the photographer from the before times. Alas, the internet is dead and every search result for Eugeny Hramenkov is either copy/pasted AI mouth gargle or articles talking about how “Elon Musk used the meme!!” (fucking christ I wouldn’t put it past the dude that all these sites are his own promotional shit). It’s so completely sad to have had the internet information age for just a small hopeful glimpse before it all came completely crumbling down.

    I was curious about Open Street Maps, since anyone can edit it.

    Gulf of America comes up specifically as an official name for US, and there is also a note about how if you change the English name without agreement in the discussion then it will be reverted:

    screen shot showing Open Street Map tags as described above, including the statement "Please see (link to discussion) before editing the name of this feature. Undiscussed changes will be reverted."

    Discussion is here: https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/gulf-of-america-gulf-of-mexico/124571

    It seems the general consensus is that the US have that as an official name, but it’s not the common English name so name:en stays as the Gulf of Mexico.

      Funnily enough at a macro scale the economy was in super good shape as trump took office with all economic indicators pointing upward. Wages grew by over 4% year over year while inflation was less than 3% meanwhile the price increases that were seen over 2021-2023ish were either rolled back or otherwise ceased being increased. Trump could literally do nothing, let the existing trends play out over 4 years and retire with an economy worth bragging about.

      Obviously he’s not going to and is enacting explicitly inflationary policies, so we’re likely to see more hyperinflation within the next few years

      Of course. The name written on the map is what was keeping that huge inflation there on the US at 2%/y.

        In all seriousness, periods of marked deflation are generally not economically prosperous times. The economy deflated more than 20% between 1929 and 1936. But we don’t call that period in time “The Really Cool American Price Drop.” It goes by another name I can’t think of right now, and it’s making me feel greatly depressed.

        We shouldn’t be fighting for lower prices. We should be fighting for better wages that track with prices over time.

          No, we should also be fighting for lower prices.

          It’s just that the way we achieve them is with price controls. Stop letting profiteers take as much as they want.

      I was crucified when I compared the two on an authoritarian leftist instance I shall not name, but I think people here can agree that despite having very different colours and propaganda, they both are both converging with the facist side of the spectrum.
