GoogleDrive has always been hot garbage and now it’s just glazed hot garbage. Best to just leave unless you’re forced to use it by your employer.

Mercator projection was favoured because it was useful for navigation due to preserving rhumb lines, representing them as straight lines on the map, and has been around for like 400 years.

Given that barely anyone does navigation like this any more it’s not that important to keep it as the default view for world maps that aren’t used for navigation such as a simple wall map. Web maps and the use of pseudomercator have definitely kept it relevant in modern times and as the most recognizable projection.

There isn’t much basis to say it’s used to “make colonial countries look bigger and Africa look smaller” except for people virtue signaling in blog posts over the last decade. If anything then it’s a psyop by Big Greenland.

As this post explains, you can just look at a globe if you want accurate size representation, because all map projections are distorted and there is always a tradeoff.

E: Oops I can see several people already explained this since refreshing the post.

This is how we find out.

A Cockney esolang would be wicked.

IDK if it’s a thing elsewhere but it’s been a running joke on Reddit and Lemmy for years mostly because Arch was the more popular, bare bones distro, i.e. you had to set it up yourself without a guided installer like Mint or Ubuntu, so was used as a signal to be like “I know what I’m talking about”.

I just assume that everyone arguing over distros has been using Linux for less than 3 years. If you’re an experienced user you’re just happy more people joined the cult community.

I also found that one of the ones I use would only work in the Owner profile with Gplay services so the secondary profile wasn’t an option for it.

You won’t regret it!
