    Google also says Jerusalem is the capital of israel despite international law and virtually every other country designating Tel Aviv as the capital.

    Fuck google.

    Watching these corporate collaborators fall all over themselves to enact the profoundly stupid and short-sighted whims of a sodden, rotting corpse when they could just…not do that…has been one of the most surreal experiences of my life.

    The sad thing is, thanks to their capture of both parties, I have no conceit they’ll actually experience any consequences for it. We have handed power to some of the least-deserving ghouls the Wharton School of Business ever squeezed out.

    For android users recommend CoMaps, or “OSMand”, both are open source and privacy focused. Both use openstreetmaps data, CoMaps just have what I think is a cleaner interface. Both have offline maps, turn-by-turn navigation and frankly a lot more customization since it’s not corporate owned. No ads, and no businesses who pay being stuffed in your eyes first when maps load.

    Both are much improved since trying to ditch maps a few years ago and basic local business info wasn’t available, now it looks to be much improved and it’s a great time to jump.

    Hope this helps someone.

    I wish Trump decides to rename something in Europe and Google complies so another jump in degooglelization takes place there…

      “NATO is a bunch of pussies! From this day forward I proclaim that the water between France and England be known as the “Strait of Ben Dover”. Get it? I’m so clever…”

    Surely, the community-run, mapping project Open Street Maps won’t rename it like Google did… right?.. right!!!

    Makes sense as they once championed “alternative facts”. May as well live in an alternative reality.
