alternate name for this article: “How to feel good about yourself while doing something that doesn’t help anything at all”
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.
I noticed that the send button was grayed out if you tried to report an incorrect name.
They don’t care.
I’m not denying that it’s the moral thing to do but fascists don’t give a shit about morals.
Yeah, the company that donated one million dollar to a mfer that promised nothing but fascism is not fascist…
Don’t waste your time with stuff like this. Install an alternative app - OpenStreetMap is great and does have the correct name.
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”
There is a better chance that user reporting for this will be disabled more so than it is that this would make a difference. You know that right?
If this latest drama with Apple Maps (and Google Maps) is what pushes someone over the edge to looking for more user respecting options then the people further gone than I would really be comfortable getting used to. Both companies regularly do much more than should do more to turn you off.
put your money where your mouth is. install linux before fruit company removes your ability to do so.
threatening companies through a feedback dialog box isnt resistance. using foss kind of scares them.
Google disabled reports and editing for it.
Done ✅
Now let’s use this opportunity to find some FOSS options like Organic Maps
If you want to go even further, you can grab StreetComplete and have fun wandering your neighborhood while contributing to OpenStreetMap by answering questions for things like business hours, road widths, road materials, etc. Unfortunately, it seems to be android only at the moment and I’m not sure if there’s an iOS alternative.
I never understood StreetComplete
as i understand it, there’s tons and thousands of datasets available about public infrastructure, but for some bizarre reason, StreetComplete asks us to fill in that information by hand? How stupid is that? only to make a ton of errors while manually copying in that information.
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.
I’m trying magic earth this weekend.
I commented on apples map, too. Organic Maps for me!
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
Did you actually write this? Holy hell that bit about Linux is cringe
why are americans so anti mexico??
Trumpers are anti-anyone who isn’t straight & white.
there are white mexicans tho…
Donde?
there are white mexicans, but i don’t want to debate because i know that race was made up by humans and, well, that means you can identify as whatever race you feel closer to and it’s ok
Trump ≠ All Americans
It just seems that way :(
'cause racism, they think they’re better somehow
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.
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.
Still showing “Gulf of Mexico” on Apple Maps for me as of three seconds ago. I’m not in the US.
Google and Apple have different versions of maps depending on what your country recognizes.
For example, it will shows territories claimed by China as part of China for Chinese IP addresses, but may show them as independent territories for other countries that recognize them as such.Yeah - I was just pointing out to the USians that it’s only changing in their country. The rest of the world will keep the original name.
