@arstechnica It’s called capitulation.
@arstechnica they are just following orders… and even try to anticipate what the leader wishes for. Ass kissers.
@arstechnica I suspect they only did this to users in North America.
@arstechnica Gee, that's not what I get in Japan:
@arstechnica I'm just gonna quietly buy a Jolla phone. 🤷
@arstechnica I get the why they did it, but technically....Shouldn't they split the name above and blow the border?🤔
@arstechnica And what other city, state, country who annoys TACO and he then blusters, waving an new EO renaming another geographic location?
@arstechnica it’s good to know that Google is controlled by the Trump administration. Maybe y’all should consider that when using a Google product.
