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..

OK McDonald's, I will not use your most cost effective ordering method. I guess I will just have to order my 10 individually custom cheeseburgers at the counter instead. I might have to have e the order read back, and change my mind about a few burgers.

I don't know about other places but they haven't had a counter for years round here. They have big screens that you go up to to order and pay, then you get a number and pick it up when called. Even if you wanted to do this, no one is going to listen to you trying to order at the kitchen.

that's just screwing with the workers though, and the workers sure as hell is not going to get paid extra for your custom order

This viewpoint is so stupid.

The cashier is paid to take orders, whether they take 1 long obnoxious order or 3 small orders, it's the same shit.

People are so swept up in 'kindness and support' (internet circlejerking), they think that the fact you inconvenienced some 17 year old, representing a massive corporation, as a fuck you to the company that employs them, you've committed some moral sin against your fellow man.

That worker doesn't want to be there, that's likely one of 3 jobs they need to barely scrape by.

You holding them up from doing other tasks they need to do to keep a job that barely feeds them is doing nothing but making their day a little harder. It affects the company 0%. The company is faceless and doesn't care how much you abuse the worker bees as long as they get your money.

I don't know what the answer is aside from not patronizing the company at all, but I know that's not it.

Revolut seems to continue working as of now on my PIxel 7. I'm transferring the money out just in case. Any idea when are they going to stop them from working?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

Stops working if you log in and out of your account. At least this is what GrapheneOS folks stated on BlueSky.

Next update

This surprises me because McDonald's app is hands down the worst app I've ever encountered in the history of all Android apps.

It's is sluggish, ignores touches/taps half the time, doesn't adhere to Android best practices for flow, crashes a lot, errors a lot, etc.

But OK McDonald's. Fuck off.

Well that's bad. I've been using revolut for years now.

Does anyone have a suggestion for a new bank that's operating under european law?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Perhaps WISE? You can use the web page unlike Revolut.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Wise isn't a bank, but it does appear to be the best option in EUR
