Gulf of Make a Report to Apple
-
there are white mexicans tho..

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?

Meant to reply earlier, sorry. I assume that it waits for several inputs to verify. I have completed some streets in my area and there's no changes as of yet. I think its more of a hobby thing. I like going around, getting out of the house and getting some fresh air while having a goal. Things like Pokemon Go just didn't do it for me. I can easily see my tiny town not having much in the way of public infrastructure data, tbh.
I do understand where you're coming from. If its just not your cup of tea, it does seem silly.

As far as I know the edits are applied immediately in the backend, however the rendering of the changes can take some days.
-
Oh strange. I'll have to check my account. There may be some verification steps I missed, because I know you have to do something to confirm that your edits are trustworthy.
-
I just checked how it is for me to be sure. My Streetcomplete changes show up immediately on openstreetmap.org/edit.

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.

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.
-
They don't care.

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.

Yeah, the company that donated one million dollar to a mfer that promised nothing but fascism is not fascist...
-
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"
