      the media, including google, under a fascist regime is an outrage machine. its purpose is to manufacture consent through a mixture of frothing up the right wing base and wearing out the conscious. you are in an endurance race, not a sprint. when you are tired, it is time to rest. disengage from these media streams and do something small and meaningful to help someone

        too right. i had disconnected from news completely for a while a week or two ago and the difference in my mental state was noticeable

          I’m glad that you recognized it! When you think it’s time to get back into the know, go out of your way to find genuinely positive news. I usually look towards what unions are doing first and go from there

      Here in Sweden as well. Reported an issue with “extra text after “Gulf of Mexico” that should not be there”.

        Yeah, I just left a review saying I don’t want American Trump propaganda in my apps, and then just ‘deleted’ (sort of) the thing. Getting rid of Google entirely is going to be difficult, though.

    In the German translation it still says “Golf von Mexiko (Golf von Amerika)”. But still crazy how only one American company seems to be necessary to integrate changes of that geographical magnitude. As dumb as it is, it gets done.

    The EU needs to pass a law about it appearing in brackets in their territories.
