Google goes full mask off. What a terrible look. This is it, this is what I needed to see to make the final push to move away from Google. My next phone will probably be an iPhone, and I'm not excited about it. I've almost completely degoogled my android device, I'm testing immich right now and the only things left that I rely on are maps and YouTube. I also buy a lot of my ebooks and comics from Google, but never again. There's no way I'm buying a phone that's supported by Google after this change. There's no way I'm spending any amount of money on Google play at this point, or any other Google owned platform. Zero. And it really sucks, because android is the closest thing we have to an open phone platform. Maybe someday a GNU/Linux phone will actually be viable, but today it isn't and that only leaves me running to Apple as a savior. It's too bad that Google can't compete on a technology level, instead of gargling Trump's balls.

APPLE?

THEY DONATED MILLIONS TO TRUMP'S INAUGURAL FUND

There is no ethical consumption undercapitalism. Google, Apple, whatever, its all the same evil, "pick your poison" situation.

(This map rename is tame in comparison to the political donations that EVERY corporation does. You'll have to boycott like almost every company if you want to avoid that)

For replacing youtube, use https://grayjay.app/

Also, why do you leave your de-googled device? Just don't pay for stuff on their store and use alternative stores with anonymous access like Aurora store or just go full f-droid.

I use iodéOS and am very happy with it. Easy de-googled life.

Surely it’s only “Gulf of America” from the southern tip of Florida across to the Mexican border?

I've reported an issue. Enough people do it they might do something.

HERE WeGo still has Gulf of Mexico. Use HERE WeGo instead of Google shit.

Open Steet Maps also shows Gulf of Mexico. Most maps seem to get their data either from Osm, Bing or Google.
