This reminds me of the freedom fries. Excepted that they weren't so successful with the freedom fries.

Thank god they didn't pull a Google and it's still Gulf of Mexico outside the US. Don't give me that (Gulf of America) BS

Edit: I'm an idiot and didn't read the full title. Wtf?

I’m gone from the ecosystem for this. Been standing up for the products since Apple II.

This is your shame:

I will be buying fairphone, framework and pinetime instead of Apple stuff.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago

I miss when modular phones were almost a thing, then google bought them and scrapped them

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Same here. They pushed more and more privacy-invasive features without the user's consent, Tim is sucking Trump's dick, and they went crazy with their shitty AI. I used to buy refurbished iPhone because it was good and cheap, but there is no reason for me to stay now if it's the same crap as Google in a prettier package. Fairphone it is.

Google was geofencing this to USA devices. Tim Apple, I used to like you. But you’re a fucking bitch.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Can we report incorrect data until they fix it?

Edit: yup, easy process.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 days ago

I just left a review for it on Google Maps claiming it's the best Mexican Gulf.

Apple doesn’t listen to feedback much.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago

Ah, yeah, we shouldn’t try then.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago (2 children)

They have been correcting all my map reports pretty consistently. But I’m suspecting this one will be different.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

@ClassifiedPancake @Sunshine @apple_enthusiast they really, really need to ditch Cook and get back to their roots.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

I don't believe Apple will ever go back to that. They have become too big.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

@ClassifiedPancake @Sunshine @apple_enthusiast I’ve tried to report it and haven’t found a way through their category questions to say something, particularly a natural geographical feature, is mislabeled, only that some location is missing from the maps.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

@Sunshine @astrsk too true. People, including me, have been trying to get them to natively support odf for iWork to make it useful beyond a personal productivity suite but nada for years.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

I like your style.

I removed Google Maps when they did this, now I’m going to not want to use Apple Maps… guess I’ll be trying Organic Maps a shot. Anyone have experience or recommendations for others?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Organic I’ve been using today. I like it a lot, only downside I have is barely an issue which is for CarPlay it doesn’t allow a Split View on the CarPlay home screen only when the app is open instead. Nonetheless it’s great

[–] [email protected] 2 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

It works well enough for turn-by-turn? Any of the other features I could take or leave, just need the direction part because I have no sense of direction 🙃

[–] [email protected] 1 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Turn by turn was solid after a few days of use now. I like it

[–] [email protected] 1 points 14 hours ago

Thanks! I’ll be giving it a shot soon, to get used to it.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Organic Maps is what you should’ve been using already.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 13 hours ago

What do you do if you want traffic info?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 20 hours ago

You’re right. It’s definitely long overdue to be using Organic.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Why the global rollout if the rest of the world doesn't agree with the change? Just to please Trump?

[–] PerogiBoi 8 points 2 days ago

Amerikans are salivating at the idea of appeasing their new dictator and vice dictator. Every company is lining up to show fealty.

Apple goose stepping away

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

Same as google…

All of them. They all changed it because of the NGIS data was changed. The name change for Denali back to Mountain McKinley is coming. This just highlights the need for FOSS alternatives in software.
