Google disabled reports and editing for it.
Did you actually write this? Holy hell that bit about Linux is cringe
Done ✅
Now let’s use this opportunity to find some FOSS options like Organic Maps
I commented on apples map, too. Organic Maps for me!
I’m trying magic earth this weekend.
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
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.
Didn’t last long…
Yep.
I have tried on my phone and Mac, and I can’t submit anything. Even for other locations.
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”.
liberals
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?
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.
You do both, brainless bot. Everything. Anything. Make noise wherever and whener you can.
Why are you so mad? Cosplaying as a communist while you have Trump’s dick up your ass and Apple’s CEOs down your throat?
Someone who is this bitchy about someone actually giving a damn has to be playing for the fascist side.
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
The linux part is cringe. Just move if you don’t want to use apple’s os
I’m sure they’re scrambling after this
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?
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).
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
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.

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.
Wrote App Store review, then deleted maps. Installed Organic Maps to replace.
This is the way.
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
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.
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.
hmm I wondered this too. I have a ton of starred places as well as some custom lists. I wasn’t able to find anything to do it, but would also be interested in this.

Do it. Move to Linux.
