Apple has been suppressing the resistance in russia. They dont give a fuck about freedom or democracy. It’s naive to think theyll do anything but enable trumps takeover

People have it in their heads that big businesses support fascist governments; it would become us to remember fascist governments serve bigbusinesses.
You’re fucking up, here, apple.
Fucking up bigly. Tim Apple needs to get his shit straight.
This is just fucking stupid. Apple should just tell this shit gibbon to fuck right off.
Why would they? Apple loves money. Money money money. They always have...
I wonder how many Apple employees they asked to make this database change before they found one who actually would do it?
Great…. Mapquest it is….?
OpenStreetMap is a non corpo option
I've liked Organic Maps as a companion app
Edit: it's come to my attention OSM has Gulf of America labeled as a regional title for en-US users. Organic Maps database is an older snapshot and does not reflect the edit yet, but eventually will.
Discussion here
Awesome! Thanks!
Given that it's the official name even the open source options will follow suit as well eventually.
‘Official’ vomit. Maybe they will, but I can still stop using corporate trash
Yeah, definitely better to use open source alternatives. You could potentially change the language to UK English or Australian English and still see the internationally accepted name regardless of which app you use.
I didn't realize google had done it already. What a real fucking shame. Goddamnit.
I’m gonna need a non-corpo map that integrates with public transport apis real soon.
I’m giving https://wego.here.com/ a shot; idk how good it is yet but the iOS app looks nice and I did verify that it still says “Gulf of Mexico”. So there’s that.
Think ~~different~~ the fucking same as all tech robber barons
