★ And It’s True That I Stole Your Lighter, and It’s Also True That I Lost the Map

John Gruber discusses how Google and Apple updated their maps to reflect Trump's renaming of Lake Ontario to 'Lake America' in the US, while Canada sees 'Lake Ontario' and other regions see a combined label. He critiques their approach, arguing that only the US should see the new name, and other countries should retain the traditional name without parenthetical additions. He contrasts this with the Gulf of Mexico renaming and cites Andy Ihnatko's perspective on the political implications. The article focuses on tech companies' responses to geopolitical naming changes and their impact on mapping services.
