Real unfortunate news for GrapheneOS users as Revolut has decided to ban the use of 'non-google' approved OSes. This is currently being posted about and updated by GrahpeneOS over at Bluesky for those who want to follow it more closely.

Edit: had to change the title, originally it said Uber too but I cannot find back to the source of ether that's true or not..

Maybe it's worth keeping a budget mobile phone at home with Rustdesk host running on it? When you have a need for an app that must run on a genuine Android, you just remote into that phone. Since the phone never leaves home, there's less to track.

Google has ruined Android by closing it up.

EU needs to step in and force Google to open it up.

While at it, go for Apple's monopoly as well.

This is actually good, see it as an enrichment of your life. The only sad thing is Revolut though.

As an alternative to Authy I recommend Stratum (previously known as Authenticator Pro) https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/com.stratumauth.app

This due to its compatibility with Android wear (companion)

Can anyone who has used both Aegis and Stratum compare them?

I swear I am so close to jumping into the void of mainline linux on phones.

The only main issue is device drivers, but I would be fine happily extracting them from android or making new ones. Modern Android is a complete full stack POS.

Seems like my time to move away from Authy. Any drop in alternative for iOS? Ideally I could export services and load them back, not manually adding/removing 1 by 1. Even if I can't though, suggestion still welcomed.

Highly highly recommend Ente Auth!

Paid Bitwarden or self-hosted 2FAuth. Its very lean so you could probably do it on a free Oracle cloud VPS and never pay. Or put Vaultwarden on a PikaPod for very little money per month.
