Gulf of Make a Report to Apple
-
When enough people shout, even the void fills with the echoes of the voices of the oppressed and cannot be completely ignored.
Now where the hell did I say "do nothing". Hilarious that liberals' idea of "doing something" is "put a comment into Apple complaints that they can easily not even look at".
-
Honestly - this is from a playbook used by every autocratic administration: “Take the attention away from the more important things”. Seen it in EU constantly: Hungary, Slovakia, Serbia, etc.
So sure, report it, but be aware this is a charade.Didn't get your reference to Hungary etc. Do you mean they are annoying but don't really matter in the overall scheme, or that similar tactics are used there?

You can leave a review for 'gulf of Mexico (gulf of America)' in Google maps too. Let's do a review bomb
The newest review listed is from a month ago and does not include my own 1 star review from the other day, so I'm guessing they're hiding them lol.

You wanna stop being an ass while literal fascists are destroying this nation?
Talk about doing nothing. Your skewed idea is to blame THA LIBURALS for at least trying to fix things while you probably threw your vote away on some shit candidate or by not voting.
Isn't it about time to accept that your idealism is fucked right now and what gets us out of this is working together to actually do something other than parade around your idealism while shit burns to the ground?

Its about tactics - countries with autocratic leaders usually employ similar tactics where they e.g.
- make a big change to some segment of law (more/less important - but has to be something that hits everyone or doesn’t make sense), so the media reports on that, then make changes to it again (due to public pressure), so that media and population gets these topics in waves, just so they make everyone blind to their corruption games they play in the background,
- or they use some politician from their party/coalition to stir the pot in their ministry they lead by playing drama queens by accusing the opposition of corruption,
- or they leave a “less important” political role to a crazy person, they do stupid shit that takes years to fix and you essentially have constant drama and info taking away everyones attention from the important stuff.
- etc etc
But you get the point - calling it Gulf of America essentially gives you free patriotic bonus points from your followers and also makes your opposition / people invest in something that is, in the end, total waste of time (time which could be used for something else, like educating these populist/autocratic/however you call it tactics to everyone, so that your average Joe doesn’t get fooled by it so easily).

Please go to Apple Maps and harass them mecilessly
Done
Now let's use this opportunity to find some FOSS options like Organic Maps

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.
I'm open to suggestions for what else I can do. I'm already not buying anything made in the US.

lol good luck with that.
Did you ever think maybe the reason he's making all these ridiculous changes, is to keep the peanuts busy, while he slashes spending?
Cause it seems to be working. -

it's what I use, but it has such a unpleasant UI
I feel like Signal is the only FOSS App that has a good and modern UI

Cause it seems to be working.Nope. These people are going to continue to froth at the mouth with every tiny little comment and joke Trump makes for the next 4 years just like they did for the last 8 years.
I didn't believe TDS was a real thing until I saw it happen to my own family. Normal, logical people turn into obsessed psychos whenever Trump is even mentioned in passing.

It's normal and logical to be obsessed over a tyrannical dictator destroying your country, but you do you.

I didn't vote in the US presidential election because I'm neither a citizen nor resident, and I'm also banned from entering your borders anyway lol. But sure I'm responsible for your fascism. Sorry for telling you to do effective things instead of checks notes sending pointless messages to underpaid Apple employees assigned to read customer complaints, who will have been told by their bosses to disregard these messages. My bad, don't do any political activity, just complain to corpos instead.

Did you actually write this? Holy hell that bit about Linux is cringe

I can't be the only one who feels like this is the absolute lowest priority of dumb shit to resist the regime over. It's just filler. Another thing he is doing to flood the zone. But one that really doesn't hurt anything. It's a distraction. Ignore it and focus on the actual damage he is doing.
The administration seems weak to business interest and with Apple having over a trillion dollar market value…customers being mad at them could actually somehow trickle back to Trump admin? It’s a drop in the ocean, I know. Just trying to look at it optimistically

Google disabled reports and editing for it.

Wrote App Store review, then deleted maps. Installed Organic Maps to replace.
This is the way.

I've been struggling without public transportation in Organic. It kinda works? Like it shows the path but doesn't actually show the stops or station names
Unfortunately, the reality is that OSM (what Organic Maps gets its data from) is volunteer-run, and most likely nobody's gotten to the bus stops near you yet. The GOOD news is that OSM is easily editable with something like Street Complete on Android, Open Stop on either iOS or Android, or from the comfort of your home on https://www.openstreetmap.org/ . There's other apps too, like EveryDoor and GoMap!! for iOS and Mac. If there's something missing, please feel free to add it, and get in touch with others in your area to help contribute! I've done my own share of updating outdated places, adding new locations, and annotating stuff like street lighting, street surfaces, and so on.
