    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?

      Google and Apple have different versions of maps depending on what your country recognizes.
      For example, it will shows territories claimed by China as part of China for Chinese IP addresses, but may show them as independent territories for other countries that recognize them as such.

    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.

    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.

    You can leave a review for ‘gulf of Mexico (gulf of America)’ in Google maps too. Let’s do a review bomb

      Yep.

      I have tried on my phone and Mac, and I can’t submit anything. Even for other locations.

    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.

        dd if=user-complaints of=/dev/zero

        is 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.

        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.

              You do both, brainless bot. Everything. Anything. Make noise wherever and whener you can.

              Why are you so mad? Cosplaying as a communist while you have Trump’s dick up your ass and Apple’s CEOs down your throat?

              Someone who is this bitchy about someone actually giving a damn has to be playing for the fascist side.

        I hope it becomes usable. If they hold there promise. Linux Wayland apps could be run through emulation layer, FreeBSD apps would run native and many MacOS apps should work out of the box.

    Wrote App Store review, then deleted maps. Installed Organic Maps to replace.

        I’ve been struggling without public transportation in Organic. It kinda works? Like it shows the path but doesn’t actually show the stops or station names
