    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

    Not one of these mega corps is on our side

      People have it in their heads that big businesses support fascist governments; it would become us to remember fascist governments serve bigbusinesses.

    I wonder how many Apple employees they asked to make this database change before they found one who actually would do it?

      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.

      Given that it’s the official name even the open source options will follow suit as well eventually.

          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’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.
