Speaking of breaking, why has Automator been broken for 3 major macOS updates now. I can run a workflow from within the Automator app, I can use old apps I've created using Automator, but if I create a new one or edit a workflow that I then export to an app it doesn't get built correctly. This happening across multiple Macs.

This is a direct assault on Democracy, Freedom and Individual Privacy. In essence, it's a direct assault on the values that they claim to be protecting. George Orwell must be turning in his grave.

And don't forget, in England you can be jailed for misgendering someone. Now that's scary stuff.

You mean this?

this app is HORRIBLE!   Almost unusable, got a lengthy spinning gearwheel, the U/I for adding invitees is nonsensical, it finds locations in distant locales, rather than locally. Feels like an early alpha version, months away from shipping quality.  WTF Apple?

This has been an issue with Apple Maps since the beginning.

I'd prefer Gulfy McWetface!

Seems like you're making a funny node to Boaty McBoatface, which Colbert helped to push back on his The Colbert Report series on Comedy Central. Back in 2010 his character on that show also pushed for renaming the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America.

This is all so silly. I mean… America has a “New Mexico”. America has its Mexico separate from Mexico. America’s Mexico doesn’t border the Golf of Mexico, but… whatever. America has a Mexico. And Mexico has two Californias (as well as a Gulf of California). Is America also going to demand that Mexico ceases using its “California” names? This is so incredibly silly and petty that it hurts my brain. And it hasn’t even been a full week yet. It hasn’t even been half a week yet.

Off Topic: I recall being on some excursion off a cruise ship in some Central American country or possibly Mexico; when the local tour guide asked where everyone was from he (nicely and playfully) corrected everyone that said "America" that the they were still in America. He then said they should use "United States". I always thought it was a dumb statement/argument because 1) the context was clear that they were referring to a nation, 2) only one nation in the world uses America in its name, and 3) Mexico's official name includes "United States" which in English would be United Mexican States or in Spanish is Estados Unidos Mexicanos, which makes it more ambiguous than simply saying America.
