Didn't last long...
Yep.
I have tried on my phone and Mac, and I can't submit anything. Even for other locations.
I’m sure they’re scrambling after this
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".

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.

you push back every step of the way. that's how you deal with it. Apple maps reporting getting shut down for this is a sign that someone at a higher level took notice and it will have feedback to even higher leadership. So yes, this is feedback, even if companies do company things, it's also sending a signal that on the long run their company things might be better off aligning with the users. Is this gonna make any difference on its own? Nope, but a million of things like this may.
I think it helps mostly to produce this OP.
The linux part is cringe. Just move if you don’t want to use apple’s os
https://ravynos.com/ Switch to MacOS without Apple when it is finally released.
Is this another ReactOS situation, or does this have a chance to actually become usable as a daily driver?
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.

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.
yup. at this point the bullshit coming out of trump's mouth is the least concerning thing in this admin. the heavy lifting is done by the heritage foundation and doge
It is the main thing Trump is good at:
Creating some drama/infuriation to keep news noisy in order to hide his fascist dictator playbook moves

The stunlock continues
Do it. Move to Linux.
Also, reporting that Trump Tower (either) should be renamed Mexico Tower feels pretty good.
Wrote App Store review, then deleted maps. Installed Organic Maps to replace.
is there an easy way to export all my map markers from google to organic? I've saved a lot of locations over the years.
hmm I wondered this too. I have a ton of starred places as well as some custom lists. I wasn't able to find anything to do it, but would also be interested in this.
