The president is part of the government, they're not two separate entities.

And once again, there is nothing to be gained by arguing with me about this.

Because Google is a US company, and not in a position to tell the US government to take a walk, that's why.

You can argue with strangers on the Internet as much as you like, but the fact is, the US president can and has changed the name of multiple geographic features, and arguing with me won't change that.

This is stupid and cowardly of them,

What else did you expect?

If you want to know more about how the US government works, I'm not the person to educate you.

That's a valid point, but why do you expect Google to take a principled stand on this? Take it up with your government.

OK, but how is Google supposed to know what nationality you are?

It was changed by executive order, which the president has the authority to do. Google doesn't get to go "nuh-uh" and keep it the same.

Google are an American company, and the government of the USA has changed the name. What else do people expect them to do?

Besides, it still say Gulf of Mexico if you're outside the USA.

Half the userbase is on the spectrum, and cannot discern satire from a serious post.

And can you guarantee all the software and hardware I use for my job will work? Everything runs on Windows, it's guaranteed to work. I wasn't happy about all the crap I had to get rid of, but once it's done it's done.

Google Drive is a better solution, you save it to your hard drive, and it's also in the cloud automatically.

You can just uninstall it, you do realise that right? Making Onedrive fuck off and stay fucked off is pretty easy to do.

I was moderately annoyed at the amount of stuff I had to either disable or uninstall when I got my Win 11 laptop, including One Drive, and getting rid of the news recommendations etc, but it's definitely less hassle than installing a new OS.

However, Peretti says BuzzFeed’s new social media platform will use AI “to give users agency instead of stealing their agency.” (It’s unclear what that means.)

Woo. More AI.

The Gulf gulf would be a brilliant name actually.

Still the gulf of Mexico for me.

Yeah, but if those Bitcoin were "out there somewhere", and you'd never have to think about money ever again if you found them...

That doesn't surprise me at all, there are a number of platforms for short form, portrait mode content, but a platform where absolutely anyone can upload a 4k or higher resolution video, up to 12 hours long, at no cost to either them or the viewer?

There's not really a competitor to that, at least not one with anything like the viewer base of YouTube.

It shows as Gulf of Mexico (gulf of America) if you're outside the USA.
