I just noticed that BOTH Apple and Google have capitulated to the fever dreams of a dictator who shits himself and rapes children.

Another consideration: “Gulf of America” is only /very/ wrong if you consider that the USA is America, ignoring all other countries on the continent. Which we don’t?

@rwwh @DemocracyMattersALot then it can't be renamed by just one country on the continent, no?

@adamantichrist @DemocracyMattersALot hm. Most geofeatures have multiple names, and different ones used by different groups or different times? In NL we call “UK”, “VK” and “USA”, “VS”. Our own country we call “Nederland” but others call it “Holland” or “Pays Bas” or “Niederlande”. In many places Beijing used to be called Peking. Eswatini used to be called Swaziland until they changed it. It is true that I would frown a bit if NL beaches would suddenly be flooded by the Danish Gulf.
