Didn’t last long…
Yep.
I have tried on my phone and Mac, and I can’t submit anything. Even for other locations.
What difference does this make? Some lower level employee will see this, roll his eyes, and then continue on with his day.
Beyond this, do you think Apple can actually take any other position than aligning with fascism? That was always going to happen. They literally can’t help but align with fascism- this is the culmination of late stage capitalism.
It’s like politely asking a dog not to salivate when it sees a steak in front of it.
You’re not gonna get anywhere and you’re just wasting time.
Also on a side note- you should switch to Linux because you should take charge of your own hardware and learn how it works before it’s taken away from you. You should do it for open source and for freedom. Not threaten to do something because a company is doing company things.

you push back every step of the way. that’s how you deal with it. Apple maps reporting getting shut down for this is a sign that someone at a higher level took notice and it will have feedback to even higher leadership. So yes, this is feedback, even if companies do company things, it’s also sending a signal that on the long run their company things might be better off aligning with the users. Is this gonna make any difference on its own? Nope, but a million of things like this may.
I think it helps mostly to produce this OP.
Not always, at least that I hope the classic answer is https://youtu.be/VtvjbmoDx-I
You’re shouting into the void. Stop trying to beg the ruling class to not oppress you and get organised. They will not give up power voluntarily.
When enough people shout, even the void fills with the echoes of the voices of the oppressed and cannot be completely ignored.
Doing nothing is accepting your oppressors. Don’t accept defeat.
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”.
I’m sure they’re scrambling after this
The linux part is cringe. Just move if you don’t want to use apple’s os
You can leave a review for ‘gulf of Mexico (gulf of America)’ in Google maps too. Let’s do a review bomb
https://ravynos.com/ Switch to MacOS without Apple when it is finally released.
Is this another ReactOS situation, or does this have a chance to actually become usable as a daily driver?
I hope it becomes usable. If they hold there promise. Linux Wayland apps could be run through emulation layer, FreeBSD apps would run native and many MacOS apps should work out of the box.
🤯
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.
yup. at this point the bullshit coming out of trump’s mouth is the least concerning thing in this admin. the heavy lifting is done by the heritage foundation and doge
It is the main thing Trump is good at:
Creating some drama/infuriation to keep news noisy in order to hide his fascist dictator playbook moves
Do it. Move to Linux.
Wrote App Store review, then deleted maps. Installed Organic Maps to replace.
is there an easy way to export all my map markers from google to organic? I’ve saved a lot of locations over the years.
Based. Organic maps is a great navigation app. I also like magic earth :)
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

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.
Why not both?
It’s a distraction. Ignore it and focus on the actual damage he is doing.
They actually put enough energy into this distraction to justify some level of response.
Exactly. Just use OpenStreetMap and move on. It’s still the Gulf of Mexico for me. I use Organic Maps.
Yah, it feels like someone tossing a ball behind a dog. “Look over there! Go get it!”
I get what you’re saying but, as someone observing from outside, stuff like this is all I can do to resist.
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.
Yeah, I mean it’s just books those nazis are burning, it doesn’t hurt anything, no need to discuss it. /s
US fascists are fucking rewriting the world map and eradicating historical name, I consider it actual damage.
Actual book burning is the scientific data and articles being purged and saved (for now) by the Internet archive
To be fair, the entire history of humanity is full of exactly that. These are mostly just aimed at and recognized by the US. Same as Russia currently renaming occupied villages. Nobody else recognizes those, it’s just not that special or important at this point, with all of the other shit going on.
Ultimately, the names of places change. All the time. And will continue to change. It’s just what we do as humans. Somebody uses force and swings their dick around and locally others have to either accept it, silently or whining, or punch the fucker. Elsewhere people fight similar fights and care very little about the other dickswingers far away.
the entire history of humanity is full of exactly that
The world today has nothing to do with the world 200 years ago. GAFAM are controlling the way information is shared and it’s very, they are more powerful then anything humanity has ever seen. It’s Big Brother from 1984.
But unlike americans, I don’t consider that we should just don’t care and stop whining. I’ll keep fighting fascism any way I can.
But google shows this imaginary trump name around the globe, not just in America. That is different to how google handles the fantasy names for lands China and Russia claim they are theirs…
Also, reporting that Trump Tower (either) should be renamed Mexico Tower feels pretty good.
lol, the iOS app won’t let me submit a ‘name is wrong’ report.
I’m dumb
It won’t let you send until you actually change the name lol
Ah that was not immediately apparent lol I’m silly
Shout out to the menial workers at Apple Maps who are going to have a crap day at work tomorrow because of the thing their boss made them do, so they don’t get fired and replaced by someone else who would do it.
That’s why they made Apple intelligence so minded numbingly stupid. Job security. If it were capable Apple management would have replaced everyone.
The stunlock continues
