Argybargies? Is that a new racial slur i haven't heard off?

You might need to add it to osm

Did you give 2 shits about these names when they were changed?

[bradleyuffner@lemmy.world]

Hasn't OSM also said that they will change it once it's properly completed?

That (if taken literally)... would also make Elon "the CEO of America".

[kusivittula@sopuli.xyz]

not really an option for many ppl with useful features missing like satellite image, street view, public transport

[socialmediarefugee@lemmy.world]

Except no one in the US except for McTrumpy calls it the Gulf of America

Don't forget the other random renaming he did, Denali. It'll always be Denali to myself and the climbing community.

1. It sounds snappier than McKinley
2. It actually had that name before. It wasn't just pulled out of thin air to be PC.
3. McKinley had nothing to do with the area, he was gov of Ohio. He never even visited it, it was just named after him to curry favor with him.

If you see the Gulf of Mexico pop up on street map your car may be floating.

Wait until folks find out Greeks call Greece "Hella" and Hungarians call Hungary "Magyarország" (Land of the Magyars)

Gulf of Mississippi. Let them be #1 in something nice.

Gulf of Pretention

Hmm. I did find it in the OsmAnd app, but I'm very confused. I think it's just showing me trip durations, not actual schedules, and definitely not live bus data, nor any option to find routes based on a specific departure or arrival time. For the route I tested, it gave me 4 different options, all of which list a departure time of 0:00, even though it's early afternoon here.

Digging around the other apps I use, it looks like the live transit data that I'm used to is free to access. Is there something I need to do to get that linked up?

[qualifiedkitten@lemmy.world]

I see the option for transit directions in the app, but I've tried a few different destinations that I've regularly visited via bus, and it only gave walking directions for all of them. I also tried the airport, which I usually get to via rail, and it says that subway navigation isn't available in my region yet.

Baka Gaijin, but yes.

@Lost_My_Mind @shalafi English speaking Japanese call it Japan whole speaking English. Things have different names in different languages.

I care because it's dumb and petty, and I refuse to let dumb petty things get an easy pass.

Pace yourself, we got almost four years to go. At least.

I can’t believe I still have it but I’m going to start actively changing emails on all my old accounts on services I had registered with gmail before I switched.
