Gulf of Make a Report to Apple

dd if=user-complaints of=/dev/zerois exactly what apple will do with these complaints
you could just as well burn your money or drive your car into a tree, as a form of protest. it's a waste, either of time, money, or energy, but nothing is achieved that way.
Will they be deleting the user complaints after copying them to the empty void? Or is user-complaints a stream that dd consumes, rather than a normal directory or file?

Don't waste your time with stuff like this. Install an alternative app - OpenStreetMap is great and does have the correct name.

No that's the point it would not be in defiance of the government because the government don't have the authority to tell private companies or individuals what bits of water should be called. All president has the authority to do is dictate what federal agencies call it.
The whole reason that everyone thinks this is a massive waste of time is precisely because he doesn't actually have the authority to force anybody to do anything. 20 years from now I highly doubt anyone is still going to be calling it the Gulf Of America, it's just a PR stunt to keep his supporters happy.

They don't need the authority. If the government says "this is x" and you say "no, this is y" that's defiance.

I noticed that the send button was grayed out if you tried to report an incorrect name.

Enjoy sitting there letting the world burn, kids.
Back in the old days, we fucking complained when shit went wrong. Flood their ass with complaints. GUARANTEE no one is going to ignore that. Fucking guarantee.

Beg your pardon, but the Gulf of America has officially transitioned and if you continue calling it the Gulf of Mexico, you're deadnaming it.

alternate name for this article: "How to feel good about yourself while doing something that doesn't help anything at all"

words only have meaning because there is reality behind them backing them up
if you have no economic strength, you cannot so easily make demands

Truth is, these big companies don't care about you. Or your opinion. You can threaten them about "switching to Linux", but these companies will think twice and say:
- if we take this complaint seriously, we might retain one (1) customer, which makes us $1000 in the future
- if we follow Trump, we might get some favorable legislation, which makes us $10000000
how, do you think, will apple react?
The correct framework for evaluation is "if we kowtow and associate with nazis we might get our people luigi'd randomly"

I can't understand would it even have the part in parentheses in Europe. Think how silly it would look if every location had the regional name for every nearby country added in parentheses after the primary global name. It would be a mess.
Eg:
Germany (Deutschland, Allemagne, Niemcy, Germania, Saksa, <etc>)
Feels to me like special rules Apple has to stroke special fascist egos.
But maybe its not Apple and this is a name set by your local governance. You mind if I ask what country Apple maps you're looking at?
Hi, I'm in France but sorry my comment was for Google Maps, not Apple maps, my bad!

As someone from the outside, you wouldn't even see the US specific naming. If complaining in a bug report about the fact and threatening to abandon the platform in favour of Linux is all you can do, man, don't bother xD.
In Canada we see both. It says "Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)".

"harass them mercilessly"
Wow, that's your response to something you don't agree with? Harass them?
Username checks out.

Get a dictionary and take a look at that word's definition. "fascism" isn't everything you dont agree with.
