  Earth on web is shit. Earth Desktop is useful for one thing: mapping large datasets onto a globe. I use it very often because I don't have to upload gigs of data just to review my own datasets. Now? Will have to vibecode an alternative. What a fucking waste, Google. Category-leading technology theft and you still manage to fuck it up. Are there any Google products left that haven't been enshittified to death?

    I would struggle to think of any. Google Earth was useful. I wonder if Streetview or Google Maps will end up becoming a subscription service.
