@pkiff @MikeElgan You can just walk down to the lake and ask a fish how it's called

Google Maps is showing "Lake America." (Apple Maps shows "Lake Ontario.") Google is like: "Hey, some ignorant, corrupt, loser is lying about the name of Lake Ontario. That's good enough for us! Craven, spineless, money-grubbing boot-lickers. And Google wants us to use their AI?!

@MikeElgan You're talking about the orange ape who cannot even tell one country from another. Let's accept it as a fuckup by Google. There were times, we left the service because it was unreliable.
