Thanks for the suggestion, but yeah, Waze is Google. Also, unless it improved a lot lately, I really didn’t like it, personally.
On Android, Organic Maps or OsmAnd are pretty good if traffic data is not needed, Magic Earth has “traffic” but it’s not accurate and pales compared to gmaps. What else is there? sygic? tom tom? I tried them all a few years ago, they all had some big deal breaker. Maybe I should look at them again.
The article says that for the rest of the world it still shows “Gulf of Mexico” … I’m in the USA so I can’t check. Are you saying that you are not in the USA and it shows both names?
I’m all for dropping Google if you can, but this is not Google’s fault, it’s Trump’s. Google is simply abiding by its policies of showing names chosen by a given country. If you’re in Mexico, my understanding is that it still shows Gulf of Mexico.
Ah, and as far as dropping Google maps… seriously, I can’t find a valid alternative with real time traffic data as good as Google, free or paid, what do you suggest?
Yeah, if it’s truly open source then I want to see the training data i.e. the “source”
Lost opportunity to rebrand to ClosedAI
Always have been, and this is a bipartisan value, heck, it’s common to all political parties of the world.
Wait, if you had graphene I didn’t think you’d get the battery crippling update right? Or are you saying that, even though you had graphene, you decided to get a free battery by reverting to stock, then (I guess) put graphene back?
At least there’s still an opt out…
I’m sorry, I hate what Elon is doing, with twitter/X and not only, but I call bullshit on this post, at least until further strong evidence being presented.
I don’t doubt that Elon and Xitter have been pushing his political agenda one way or another, but the post specifically calls out elizaOS and links to some github website and repo which supposedly contains “bread crumbs”. All I see is an AI project that is not (directly, at least) affiliated with Elon, at least from what I could find on a quick internet search, and for sure whose employees were not X employees to be able to leave bread crumbs into. Also the supposed “bread crumb” is just some third party company/organization offering an AI agent mockingmimicking Trump where in its “bio” it says it interfered with the election? Sorry, I need stronger proof.
will act without regard for law
They were gonna do that anyway
Alright, I know nothing about this person or the song, but I went to read the article to see where it says she is an “anti-vaxxer” and a “musk fan”, as well as “against Israel’s genocide”:
In the song, May rails against “big pharma,” a “man-made virus,” “cancel culture,” and a war that she brands “genocide.”
This is the only passage I could find that remotely hints about her stance about those things and I see the controversial “man-made virus” line, but that just means she believes the virus was man-made, e.g. it came from Wuhan’s lab, which is a hypothesis that was seriously considered, though still found less likely than the zoonotic one.
Nothing there says she’s against vaccines. It does say she’s against Israel’s genocide though, assuming that’s the war being referred here (lyrics seem to confirm that).
Searching for “vax” or “vaccine” in the entire article yields nothing.
Searching for “musk” yields this verse in the lyrics:
Mr. Musk, he said some s***, the lefts are angry
Which… doesn’t seem to imply she’s a fan either (she might be, mind you, but one can’t conclude that from this article).
So, when reading an article, let’s not extrapolate beyond what’s reasonable.
Yeah, that is ridiculous. I don’t really have a lot of respect for Google already, but this erodes what bit of respect I had left for them.
