  • Apple and Google did not need to rename it

    Who has the authority to dictate what things should be called on a map if not the government? Tech companies are supposed to make these decisions? If they did nothing, that would be in defiance of the government, and most companies don’t want to be involved in politics at all, regardless of who the President is.

    I don’t really know how to feel about this.

    Was it decreed by an absolute narcissist for no reason other than the kind of blatant arrogance Americans are notorious for? Absolutely.

    Was it also completely legal? As far as I can tell. It’s not really these companies’ place to resist map name changes, it’s the citizens’ and our representatives’.

    Does it have anything at all to do with fascism? No.

    What do you specifically like about macOS in comparison to Linux?

    I mean mostly that it works and is easy and intuitive, and has a single dedicated version of every piece of software that’s made.

    I like Linux as an alternative to Windows but it’s a nightmare to figure out how to use.
