There will absolutely be another pandemic under this administration. The COVID pandemic happened in large part because dRumpf 1.0 defunded the CDC (& many people forget includes "and Prevention") in 2018. This time will be much worse.
17.02.2025 20:30 β π 5 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Spoke too soon. Apple capitulated today. GPS is owned and managed by US Space Force, and both Google and Apple use it for their civilian applications. My hunch is the Drumpf admin threatened to revoke their usage if they didn't change it, thus hosing both their Maps apps.
12.02.2025 01:18 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Hm thinking about this a bit more. What's more likely is Drumpf administration threatening to terminate Apple's and GG's use of Landsat if they don't capitulate, so bye bye Maps. They could easily pull that plug & destroy them. I think I'm gonna buy some road atlases & keep them in my trunk.

Explains why last 5 years' shows were (no part. order) Rhianna, Shakira, The Weekend, Dr. Dre w/Snoop & Mary J Blige, Usher and a host of guests. Bwaaahahahaha! I love pissing off maga.

11.02.2025 22:37 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Yes, this is infuriating AND they quietly rolled this out in mid-2024. I used to work at Google - left in 2013. So glad I did bc Google is a shit company now.
11.02.2025 22:36 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0No. Google uses the Federal Landsat data for its Google Earth and Google Maps programs. And, for what its worth, Starkink is also a player in the satellite business now. Soooooo, there's that. Considering Elon is basically running this country now, hrs doing whatever the f he wants.
11.02.2025 22:28 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Folks were saying that Apple hadn't updated but.. I hate to burst bubbles. A search on Apple Maps for "Gulf of" auto-completed to Gulf of America. They are no better. Then I got to thinking: neither GG nor AAPL control this info. GPS systems are maintained by... our military. GG & AAPL lease it.
11.02.2025 22:17 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 2 π 0They, along with every tech company, already do. There are back doors funneling our data to the NSA and have been for a couple decades.
11.02.2025 18:34 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Let's flood Google with Feedback on Google Maps that the info is incorrect. I just did. (Click on your profile > Help & Feedback > Send Product Feedback. Include a screenshot of the ridiculous change). For shame, Google.
11.02.2025 07:03 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0And if they were smart, they'd release an Android version of Apple Maps (Android holds about a 40% market share in the U.S. but they have about a 72% market share worldwide).

So this won't be hard for me but I so hope the masses join in b/c we don't just vote every 2-4 years in the ballot box; we vote every day w/the power of our dollar. Where we spend it & to whom we give it counts.

Yes. If anyone was following the official POTUS or VP accounts, those accounts are simply taken over by the incoming Pres and VP so will automatically transfer as following Trump or Vance. If you don't want to, unfollow. I unfollowed as fast as I possibly could.

If anyone was following the official POTUS or VP accounts, those accounts are simply taken over by the incoming Pres and VP so will automatically appear as following Trump or Vance.
