If they’re based in the US, they have to.
The rest of the world doesn’t give a fuck about US executive order, so obviously life goes on and the places aren’t name changed in the real world.
Executive orders do not apply to private companies. They apply to only the executive branch of the federal government - that’s why they’re called executive orders.
AccuWeather is choosing to be on Trump’s side.
Trump tried to appoint the former owner of AccuWeather to run NWS in the first term. They were always on his side. They are also the reason the NWS site looks like it’s from 2006.
NWS probably has their hands tied. AccuWeather on the other hand is run by bootlickers. They’re deep enough in that sphere that Trump tried to put the CEO in as the head of NOAA during his first term. They’ve tried unsuccessfully lobbying to restrict NWS’s free forecasting (the one we all pay for) because it was interfering with their business model. I’ll leave the sexual harassment problems as an exercise for the reader. These are shitheads who were shitheads long before this. Don’t use that service.

After discovering WeaWow, all other weather apps are inferior.
If you want a similar open source option for Android (without the globe map), Breezy weather is great. It’s on fdroid and you can also get it through obtainium. You can choose the weather source.
It doesn’t have WeaWow’s extensive widget options, nor does it seem to be able to just follow you around wherever you are and get the current conditions for that spot - you have to add locations to a list. My job has me going all over the place, so that’s not in the least convenient.
There are around 20 customizable widgets and you absolutely can use GPS location weather.
Discovered it from your comment, immediately fell in love and donated. Thank you! :)
The one thing that drives me nuts about it is the location name. It just looks wrong to me to show only the city name without the state abbreviation - especially after a full street address.
My dream is for the Weawow project to continue for another 200 years, until we reach Type 1 on the Kardashev scale.
Because at the current level of human civilization, it is not possible to make 100% accurate weather forecasts, I believe that it is necessary to compare and consider many data sources.
But in 200 years there will be no more weather FORECASTS services, but 100% accurate weather PLANNING services.Nice! This looks so cool, I love their visualisations so far. This might even rival my love for windy com
Isn’t accuweather owned by climate change deniers?
Then we shall report the error.

So brave
Good thing i stopped using AccuWeather years ago or i would have been caught up in this bullshit… oh wait i almost forgot i don’t care either way.
America is full of cunts and cowards too afraid to stand up against a pedophile.
Spoken like someone who has absolutely no idea what it’s like to try and organize people scattered across a fucking continent.
Specifically a continent with very poor access to public services that would make organization easier.
A continent where even speaking out can cost your your job and therefore Healthcare.
A continent where your neighbor might be someone who agrees with you, or they might blow your head off because they thought you might vote for a lefty.
A continent where the government has already threatened to murder any citizen they want just for fighting back against their authoritarian boot. A continent where your closest regional capital might be hours away.
My state is larger than most European countries. The logistics of organizing real action on this scale is insane. And a lot of very rich people have spent a lot of money for a very long time to make sure it’s as hard to do anything about their tyrannical bullshit as possible.
The best most of us can do is vote, try and organize like-minded people locally, and survive the next week.
weird ideas
you guys did vote and got what you wanted
you don’t own Canada and Mexico yet you’re just a country in north America
Turns out, some people can vote for candidate A and get candidate B either way.
Especially considering that US electoral system works in a way that even if the majority of the population chooses candidate A, candidate B can still win the election.
Iirc, this is exactly what happened to Trump, at least on his first term. Most votes were for Clinton, but Trump won anyway.
Your position could be understandable back in the day when it was mostly Russia and China who acted like that, and so it could be easy to feel superior by ignoring the objective factors getting into the equation. Nowadays, it spreads, and remaining ignorant about it will likely bite you in the not-so-distant future.
I too hate the comment you’re replying to, but calling the USA - hell, even North America, though I don’t see how that would apply here, I’m just trying to accomodate you - a fucking continent is just wrong. Coupled with the good ol’ “my state is larger than most European countries” - yeah, no.
There are much better arguments to be made against that sort of comment.
I have the power to vote, sign petitions, go to protests. I’m too poor to donate money. That is the extent of my power. Trillionaires run everything and have all the power, and guns. I stick to my liberal, socialist beliefs and do my best to help everyone I can. What is it you want me to do?
If he’s such a problem why don’t you do it?
Way to not read their comment and keyboard warrior from another country
it’s always a lemmy.ca user.
Now now, sometimes it’s an Aussie.
