Time to update your community on Open Street Map and start using Street Complete so people around you can switch to Open Street Map apps. All it takes is a couple active editors to make a town viable.
If people are wondering why Google is simping to Trump, they have been convicted of being a monopoly and the antitrust action is now in the penalty phase.
The action started under Trump I, was vigorously pursued by Biden’s Lena Kahn and the conviction secured. Now all that’s left is to decide the penalty, which could range from a strongly written letter to a breakup of the company.
I’m getting Microsoft, Clinton & Bush vibes here…
It is really to bad Canada is not going after them yet.
from “Not Evil” to “Prime Evil” in just a couple decades.
decades
Years
They’ve ramped it up in recent years, sure, but I think they been dormantly evil since they came on the scene and we just didn’t realize it until the hooks were in deep.
Perfect strategy for this kinda thing, and now they can just be brazen about it. Kinda like a certain red party in a certain shithole country.
Every canadian should switch to Organic Maps for national security purposes.
Does that matter if your os is still Android (like most people are)?
It will prompt you to use Google’s Maps or any other map program you have installed when you clock on an address. You may have to reset the default program for map links if you had more than one option and chose Google Maps as the option in the past, though.
Feels like we’re being politically raped, and it’s really pissing me off.
Yeah, they elected a rapist so…
Ikr?! How do you even begin to make sense of that?! You can’t! And now, here the rest of us are being forced to deal with it. Makes me wanna scream.
Please do: loudly and at the local US consulate of possible. If not, if there is a town hall, they need to hear your complaint.

Cracking and Packing. Learn and save yourselves, if you can.
I get the very strong sense it’s too late, that we’ve crossed some line or passed some tipping point… really hope I’m wrong.
crossed a ripping point yes. so tactics change. it’s not too late as long as people are still alive. Like painting or sewing – we build on and salvage from mistakes. (see: transitional ethics, from social sciences)
if you feel despair, seek community and feed your soul. Please do not comply in advance, internet friend!
we survived the AIDs crisis by working and organizing by day, potlucking together, and partying and dancing to feed our spirits by night. (figurative, for our night owls and 3rd shifters.)

This right here is lovely, and I know I’m not gonna be the only person scrolling by who needed to read it. ty.
Thanks. I’m not worried for myself in the common sense, and don’t plan on complying… I’m more worried for others and how they’ll cope with what I suspect is coming.
fortunately there is plenty of work to harness worry to usefulness. whatever your skills, I’m sure local chapters of progressive and human rights groups could appreciate the support. even just using whatever privledge you have to shut down racist or sexist jokes and denormalizing exclusive-supremacist comments and behavior helps hold the line.
uh someone link those fight the altright videos ig. the lecture has already been done with cool production.
Grab 'em by the parks!
Just label the US as South/Lesser Canada.
The Gulf of Lesser Canada does have a certain ring to it…
I mean I knew Americans weren’t great at geography, I didn’t realize it was this bad.
Do you guys need any geologists? I’d love to get out of this country.
We have quite a lot of geology.
They show up as provincial parks for me?
Some of them are listed as state when you bring up their card.
Man, all these tech giants keep making convenient “mistakes”…
May as well start calling temples “churches” and change all speed limits to Mph since it seems we’re in a “being wrong” contest.
The app is showing provincial and national for me. I’m in NS and have a few around the city and they aren’t mislabeled from what I see.🤷🏻♂️
Either I’m the odd one out or they changed it back.Edit: found one, how have you been reporting this?
Came here to talk about this as well.
What I don’t get is some are labeled park and some state parks.
Just says Park for me?
