Surely it’s only “Gulf of America” from the southern tip of Florida across to the Mexican border?

Look at this, even Australia is laughing at us from the other side of the globe!
Google goes full mask off. What a terrible look. This is it, this is what I needed to see to make the final push to move away from Google. My next phone will probably be an iPhone, and I'm not excited about it. I've almost completely degoogled my android device, I'm testing immich right now and the only things left that I rely on are maps and YouTube. I also buy a lot of my ebooks and comics from Google, but never again. There's no way I'm buying a phone that's supported by Google after this change. There's no way I'm spending any amount of money on Google play at this point, or any other Google owned platform. Zero. And it really sucks, because android is the closest thing we have to an open phone platform. Maybe someday a GNU/Linux phone will actually be viable, but today it isn't and that only leaves me running to Apple as a savior. It's too bad that Google can't compete on a technology level, instead of gargling Trump's balls.

Also, why do you leave your de-googled device? Just don't pay for stuff on their store and use alternative stores with anonymous access like Aurora store or just go full f-droid.
I use iodéOS and am very happy with it. Easy de-googled life.

I've reported an issue. Enough people do it they might do something.
Degoogled already! Installed /e/os on my Pixel 6a! A little irritated though as it seems like literally every app I've used is tied to Google!!
