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

yet another reason OpenStreetMaps is superior

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.

mattyroses@lemmy.today · 4 pts · 10h

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.

Osmand app on Android is great for me (UK).

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.

SpacePanda@mander.xyz · 60 pts · 1d (1 reply)

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"

schipelblorp@sh.itjust.works · 40 pts · 1d

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

Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 1d

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.

Salvo@aussie.zone · 6 pts · 1d

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?

BuckFutter@timeyak.com · 20 pts · 1d

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.

Almacca@aussie.zone · 29 pts · 19h (1 reply)

'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.

phutatorius@lemmy.zip · 15 pts · 12h

"Trump's Back Passage."

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

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

zbyte64@awful.systems · 8 pts · 1d (1 reply)

"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

Salvo@aussie.zone · 5 pts · 1d

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.

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.
