This just in: Google and Apple announce they've updated their maps.

I'm trying to switch to osm exclusively. It's a little rough without an app (that I can find) that includes details (stops, schedule, eta) on nyc subway and bus lines.

I have bad luck with that in Barcelona as well, and often have to go to Maps or Here We Go.

That said, there's also overlays for OsmAnd+. The one I have for bike routes is much better than Google.

I believe that there are dedicated apps for transit that are as good as Google / Apple maps. This would require splitting into two apps to replace one, but at least you could move away from the major map apps without losing that very useful functionality for transit.

CoMaps is available on F-Droid and it works really well. There are little nuances like search not displaying the suburb for a street address, especially where I live, so it takes a bit of guessing. Overall though, offline, open source, great navigation, zero complaints.

Edit: fixed typo.

Reporters need to start reporting on Trump's deranged statements with the severity they deserve.

Ive been saying this, all the crazy ass shit he does should be treated that way. Report on him like Obama. "Unfortunately, and unsurprisingly Mr. Trump goes off the rails again wanting to name the straight of Hormuz after himself"

61

Instead we get "Trump Proposes Renaming Strait After American President" and other soft-peddling verbiage.

41

Aka we never have to hear 90% of his deranged ramblings. We'd only hear of the stuff that will actually affect us. Not the dementia riddled slop that comes out of his brain.

Oops. Did I say brain? Sorry, he doesn't have one. I meant mouth.

14

Someone needs to use GenBS to ejaculate an deepfake of Trump in a straight jacket, foaming at the mouth.

Hopefully, this would get LLMs banned.

You're getting upvoted, so I think I'm missing context. Is this a reference to something?

It’s a silly play on words juxtaposing strait (straight) for gay. Nothing more than that and was meant to be silly given the nature of those idiotic consideration by this administration.

When I was sober, I didn't get it. Now that I'm high, it's SO obvious!

.........I think I may be stupid.

I hear they have an opening in their geopgraphy department naming landmarks lol

1

Oh right because court orders are always an effective mandate with this admin

3

Always a 'warning'. Always 'could' or 'may'. Never any fucking action.

Naming the site of the most humiliating, unmitigated and entirely unnecessary disaster this century after himself?

Is... Is he gaining self awareness?

'Trump's Folly' seems more apt.

folly /fŏl′ē/ noun

  1. Lack of good sense, understanding, or foresight.

  2. An act or instance of foolishness.

  3. A costly undertaking having an absurd or ruinous outcome.

"Trump's Back Passage."

Because he claims to own it yet is unable to control it.

16

Yup. I used to want him to survive long enough to die in prison. Now I just want him tj fucking die. Fuck this orange turd rapist.

Nah, rename that one.

“Iran takes Trump’s Strait, demands repayment.”

“Trump’s Strait under fire”

“America vows to destroy blockage of Trump’s Strait”

“Trump fails to secure Strait

Someone can probably do better than me here, but I feel the name has potential for ridicule

"Oil unable to navigate Trump's Strait"

"Ships lost trying to cross Trump's Strait"

I think if I said this enough times I would likely say "Trump's taint", it kinda ryhmes

It’s a bottleneck.

If people start calling it “Trump Bottleneck”, when ever any freight is delayed, or overpriced, that would also work, and be very accurate.

Google said to already be in the process of renaming Google Earth to Google Trump.

21

I think you mean renaming google to trumple

4

You know what, I am in favor. So that the world may remember how much of a stupid douche he was and how he thought that renaming it meant he won

17

The trend of his megalomania is almost exactly tracking the trend of his dementia.

It's the disinhibition that goes with the squash rot.

13

Honestly he should do it. Etch this embarrassment even deeper into the history books.

By this time next year he'll have renamed half the major cities on earth

Orange clown speaks again. At least it didn't crash the stock market this time.

Ok fuck this. Fine. Planet Trump. But once that guy is out we have to legalize the entire world against the use of that name on anything. They cannot take any office or name even a broken down car with that name. We revert every law, every rename, everything. Like the Disney movie with the purple guy that had a glove.

10

Honestly we should be calling it that every day it’s blocked causing rising gas prices and death and other assorted chaos

Ah shit! I put all my money on either "The Freedom Strait" or "The American Strait". I shoulda known.

Only Trump and his passel o' rectum cleaners will take it seriously. The rest of the world laughs tiredly at him. And any such name changes will be changed back in the future, anyway.

I thought that passel was only Natalie Harpoontang.

At least this one is a fairly apt description for a crooked body of water.

Rare sighting of Gimli's song of Moria. Doesn't get enough light, that one.

No wonder, it being under the mountain and all.

The "Trump Strait" can not even be penetrated properly after using literally tons of explosives...

5

I mean if he really wants the credit I'll call it "Trump's Waterloo" for him.

That little twink really likes the idea of getting a boat up his ass twice a day

At least hes owning up to his failure i guess.

Iran is gonna have a field day making puns about it.

If he really wanted to troll Iran, he would change "strait of Hormuz" to "gay of Hormuz".

Impossible to name it that, 'cuz straight he ain't.
