This is another reason why I'm trying to move away from anything Google. They have a pretty good track record of shutting things down
Pretty good? It seems like it's their business modell.
Devil's (literally) advocate: they also have released a ton of services. Having said that, I still miss Inbox (the alternative gmail app/frontend)
At this point they can just shut down Google. Oh well. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Add it to the pile.
Is there an alternative?
It's right in the meme

Horrible text colour choice tbf
The text color wasn't a choice; it was just a consequence of putting the preexisting QGIS logo over the preexisting meme background.
The meme maker should've layered a shadow or contrasting-color rectangle under it.
QGIS logo:
I am not color blind, but holy shit was that easy to miss.
Is there a plug in for 3d terrain / buildings yet?
Yeah that's the only part of GEarth I really care about.
Okay but I'm pronouncing it "Cue-Jizz", solely because pronouncing Arc-Jizz that way royally annoys my Earth Science major wife. XD

Yeah.. When you mentioned, it makes sense now.
