What a useless change just for the sake of being politically correct. Are companies going to start removing "God Mode" from video games and calling it "super mode"? Seems crazy they would muck with naming to be PC even for internal tools
- bitwize 10y agoHow about "Degreelessness Mode"?
- swang 10y agocalm down. how is this being "politically correct"? the name was most likely changed because the connotation of a "god view" means its omnipotent or at the very least omniscient. aka, it knows everything about you. so it was most likely changed because of the backlash of the name being associated with invading your privacy and seeing what you were doing in uber. this again is why everyone is upset about uber forcing their app to be always on.
