Ok new rule, products of subsidiaries of nasty tech companies get referred to by the most disreputable name in the structure, not their branding.

They're not Waymo robotaxis. They're Google robotaxis.

It's not Whole Foods Market. It's Amazon Foods Market.

It's not Meta Glasses. It's Facebook Glasses.

@dalias It is not whatsapp messager. It is Meta Messenger

@canleaf Facebook. Using the name Meta they chose specifically to rebrand away from the disreputable name is exactly the thing I was rejecting.

@dalias @canleaf the problem is that there's a different app that is actually called Facebook Messenger, so it gets ambiguous at that point

@unlambda @canleaf Facebook Signal-clone. Or, to use the youngs' name for clones, Facebook temu-signal.

@unlambda @dalias @canleaf Facebook Messenger: Green Edition

(to be interpreted like Pokémon's split editions)
