Haha, okay let’s ignore the fact that Apple Maps shows Taiwan as a province of China, but only for Chinese users. It’s been like that for years, but we don’t care about China or Taiwan, so Apple gets a pass there. We can also ignore the inconvenient fact that Google changed the name of the Gulf of Mexico in Google Maps too. I suppose it doesn’t matter that the US GNIS officially changed the name of the Gulf, and that Apple is simply following its obligations as a mapping provider by respecting a region’s naming preferences for disputed entities (similar to Google). We also don’t care that Apple is clowning on the US by only showing the new name in that region. No, fuck Apple for not taking it upon themselves to decide that the current US administration is illegitimate, and not being petty by refusing to rename a thing in their mapping app

I totally understand complaining about Apple doing this, but to actually boycott them over this is childish. Go ahead and get rid of your iPhones, though. Just don’t forget to boycott Google and Android too. You won’t do it, but to anyone who actually does: respect

Sorry about the rant, but this is just insane to me

Damn near 100%, yes

Yeah, I bet it would be trivial for one of their engineers to whip up a universally compatible, hardware accelerated image file converter in JS, using no external dependencies, and less than 50 lines of code. Hint: it uses Canvas

Of all the things to maybe boycott Apple for, I think it’s kinda funny that this is where some people draw the line

This is probably a clever way of doing native JPEG image conversion on the front end, instead of pulling in (or reimplementing) a universal image conversion library
