I know of at least one US government web page that still references “Gulf of Mexico”, but I don’t want to link it, because I’m very curious to see how long it can fly under the radar. I have a thing set up that checks the page regularly and will alert me whenever it changes.
Is there a way to set up archive.org or something like that to save regular snapshots without risking drawing more attention to it?
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.
Even from the ideal pro-capitalist hat on; AP benefits from this. It might seem that short term they lose money by not having hot off the press news to sell, but long term they keep their credibility, which is ultimately the product they sell.
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.
More respect for the AP? Them and Reuters are the two defacto news orgs that 95% of other news get their articles from lmfao.
So Trump is offended that the AP deadnamed his gulf? Imagine that…
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
But I thought dead naming was cool? Now you want to use preferred names.
Seems like the AP isn’t counting the lights in the official manner. There’s five lights. It’s official. It’s not something there’s any need to stubbornly disagree about, Picard.

FTFY.
Confirmed, the US is a sensitive country
What happened to “snowflakes”? I guess that just like everything else, it was projection.
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.
I too, am not allowed into the Oval Office.
Me as well
