Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Cowards
It's not cowardice. It's complicity.
Do they have an error reporting feature?
Yes. In another thread, several people posted about it.
In maps, select it, drop a pin , and on the right side select more…
And report the name as being incorrect
I reported it with a category of "Water Supplier."
Kind of? I scrolled all the way down and reported it as “Something missing”
Same, I didn’t see any error reporting feature.
Yup. Just select the text and the card will have an option.
Cowards and slower to be a coward than Google. What, they spend time choosing the right font? They certainly didn’t wait to see what the public reaction was and make a decision based on that. It’s one thing to be fist at doing something like that, it’s much much worse to follow a company’s obviously bad idea. F U Apple.
I’d imagine they had a lot of internal pushback so it took longer. Probably an edict/decision from the CEO.
Collaborators.
Wow I'm totally shocked whenever capitalists collaborate with fascists. Shocked I tell you!!! \s \s \s
Tens of millions of real live human beings who depended on the $40 Billion in USAID, for safe food, clean water, and medications have already started dying, literally all around the world. Elon Musk and his Nazi twinks were granted full access to the US Treasury where he surely installed backdoors, that will never fully be able to be cleaned without a complete rewrite of the software. I could not give a fuck what anyone calls the fuck gulf of mexico at the moment.
Indeed, it's a distraction. smh.
I guess if you're comfortable using homophobic slurs then why not racist renaming...
Twink is just a regular ass word last I checked
Interesting. I just checked and if I zoom in it says gulf of America, but if I zoom out it still says Gulf of Mexico.
Deleted Apple Maps in favor of Organic Maps at the suggestion of another Lemmy user yesterday. Although it lacks live traffic data, given the lack of centralized userbase location tracking, and scrolling on the map could be a bit smoother at times, I'd rather use it than a platform willing to implement fascist place names.
I'm hoping that toll road avoidance also works better with Organic Maps, since Apple Maps oddly seems unable to give non-toll directions if you accidentally get on a toll road and exit to return to a non-toll routing.
I don't get it guys, it's so frickin simple:

No no no, Trump wanted to call it the Golf of America.
Still called Gulf of Mexico for me.
If the left wants to protest, they can always stop using iPhones and Android phones.
