Brett Cannon on Nostr: I feel like the people getting mad at map apps for changing the name of the Gulf of ...
I feel like the people getting mad at map apps for changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico for them are getting mad at the wrong thing. It's like when people would get mad at me about Python 3 during the 2->3 transition. It was actually never about me or Python 3, but about the person's manager not letting them migrate.
I get why people are mad about the rename, but get mad at the person who made the rename official for America geography and not the people following the US standard.
