Please go to Apple Maps and harass them mecilessly

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.
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.
Get a dictionary and take a look at that word’s definition. “fascism” isn’t everything you dont agree with.
Did you actually write this? Holy hell that bit about Linux is cringe
I can’t be the only one who feels like this is the absolute lowest priority of dumb shit to resist the regime over. It’s just filler. Another thing he is doing to flood the zone. But one that really doesn’t hurt anything. It’s a distraction. Ignore it and focus on the actual damage he is doing.
Yah, it feels like someone tossing a ball behind a dog. “Look over there! Go get it!”
I get what you’re saying but, as someone observing from outside, stuff like this is all I can do to resist.
As someone from the outside, you wouldn’t even see the US specific naming. If complaining in a bug report about the fact and threatening to abandon the platform in favour of Linux is all you can do, man, don’t bother xD.
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.
dd if=user-complaints of=/dev/zerois exactly what apple will do with these complaints
you could just as well burn your money or drive your car into a tree, as a form of protest. it’s a waste, either of time, money, or energy, but nothing is achieved that way.
Enjoy sitting there letting the world burn, kids.
Back in the old days, we fucking complained when shit went wrong. Flood their ass with complaints. GUARANTEE no one is going to ignore that. Fucking guarantee.
Will they be deleting the user complaints after copying them to the empty void? Or is user-complaints a stream that dd consumes, rather than a normal directory or file?
Didn’t last long…
Yep.
I have tried on my phone and Mac, and I can’t submit anything. Even for other locations.
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”
You can leave a review for ‘gulf of Mexico (gulf of America)’ in Google maps too. Let’s do a review bomb
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.
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.
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.
I don’t really know how to feel about this.
Was it decreed by an absolute narcissist for no reason other than the kind of blatant arrogance Americans are notorious for? Absolutely.
Was it also completely legal? As far as I can tell. It’s not really these companies’ place to resist map name changes, it’s the citizens’ and our representatives’.
Does it have anything at all to do with fascism? No.
Google disabled reports and editing for it.
Its only for US users, no worry ;) hehe
Not for long. I’m literally on the other side of world.
Yes that is what I’m seeing. So it still says gulf of Mexico. Which is fine right?
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.
Not always, at least that I hope the classic answer is https://youtu.be/VtvjbmoDx-I
