Good. Get punished. Don’t go along with it. If you start bowing and scraping so you won’t get ejected from the oval office, then that will enable that much more the gradual evolution that will lead you along with many other people to get “punished” in ways that are far more severe. Like, barges floating off of Gitmo or working in the fields on a prison labor system severe. It is insane to me that people are taking all of this so lightly and going along with it.
Any thoughts on how can I punish Google for renaming stuff in Google Maps? My company is already removing Google Analytics and Google Maps from our web site and has halted a planned migration to Google Workspace. And I have personally stopped using Chrome and Google Search which is just a cesspool of AI generated from garbage anymore anyway. But surely there must be more I can do…
Absolutely. That’s a good start. Mouseflow or one of its competitors honestly was always more useful to me than Google Analytics. Honestly, as far as I know, a huge share of their income still comes from search ads and YouTube. I think if you just avoid those things, you’re already doing more or less as much as you can.
Oh, also, publicize duckduckgo and friends over Google. Google search has become far less useful than it used to be, anyway.
Honestly, web analytics are just stupid unless your business is selling ads. Its just vanity outside of that business case
It’s useful to check how people are using your site, if they’re getting stuck or there are spots that are hard to navigate, things like that. That’s true irrespective of whether you’re selling ads. I think it’s just that the people who are making money off the thing are a lot more likely to be bothered to invest energy into making sure their users are having a productive experience.
Just keep pushing the groupthink to get out of Google. They can’t be trusted, now, more than ever.
Confirmed, the US is a sensitive country
What happened to “snowflakes”? I guess that just like everything else, it was projection.
Thanks to climate change the snowflakes melted. /hj
Yellow snow “flakes”
Gives me a little extra respect for AP than before. Don’t comply with fascists. Make them show just how incredibly sensitive and ridiculous they are.
Also, don’t accept or repeat their narratives.
So Trump is offended that the AP deadnamed his gulf? Imagine that…
Not even deadnamed. The “name change” only impacts like a specific section of it, not the whole thing.
But I thought dead naming was cool? Now you want to use preferred names.
Child Throws Temper Tantrum Because He Didn’t Get His Way
FTFY.
I too, am not allowed into the Oval Office.
I wouldn’t want to belong in a place that accepts people like me.
Better that I’m not allowed in it, I think.
Me as well
Dozens of us.
Blocking the press is how the Trump admin can they make this absurd distraction a much bigger deal with no repercussions. The power of names is much diminished in these times. We need a better name vibe. call it Gulf of Slow The Fuck Down
Gulf of Punch Nazis
Any press still allowed in is just bootlicking government mouthpieces anyway.
So dumb. What a sniveling child.
Classic fashy behavior.
toss another lawsuit on the fire in 4… 3… 2… 1…
one is an international body of water, the other is wholly contained within the borders of the u.s. that’s why they went that route.
Side note: everyone called it Denali before Obama renamed it anyway, and everyone is doing to continue to call it Denali
I hate news articles so much. “The (underlined) Associated Press said” ahh, this must be a link to the actual quote, I’ll read that. Nope! Just a link to their website. At least it’s not as bad as other sites that link to other random articles.
The worst are the outlets that appear to outright refuse to link to anything but their own site… It will reference something, and instead of the link actually going to the thing, it goes to the last article they posted on the thing. Ugh. Few things make me leave a news site faster.
So fragile
