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…

So it wasn’t really about attestation or security. I am really shocked!

This is used whenever shouting “think about the children!!!” or “terrorists!” is not applicable.

I don’t know how we managed to do the online banking thing all those prehistoric years before such “attestance programs” were implemented.

It was shit with horrible semi-working never updated java applets that were always broken, unless you used right version of ie and windows. But it was certified by proper authority. 🥴

This is great news. Let them isolate themselves and lose business.

I’m sure these mega corporations are very sad about the loss of business from all 100 Graphene OS customers they had.

When a big company blocks use of their app if you use something from a smaller company, users will choose the big company over the small company. Just ask WeChat about how they kill competitors.

He’s saying people will drop GrapheneOS before they drop McDonald’s.

Oh, no, I can’t use the McDonald’s app!

Can’t remember the last time I spent money on McDonald’s over priced crap.

They have a different app though, it looks different and doesn’t order at McDonald’s but at least the food is better.

Every platform costs. (QA + dev + prod) * Platforms

Nearly Everybody has a phone. They have kiosks at every store and a register.

They don’t make more money for a web app.

When the mobile app is just a glorified browser specifically for the service, that is obviously silly.

I finally had enough of them last week. 3 shitty, horrible cheeseburgers (no drink or side) cost as much as a proper toasted turkey club sandwich, apple fritter and coffee from Timmy’s. I’m done with their trash food. I’ll eat Timmy’s trash food, at least it’s halfway tasty.

Fair, but Timmies is also dogshit. Has been since it was acquired by the multinational conglomerate, Restaurant Brands Incorporated.

Yah, but in terms of availability, it rivals McDogshit and if I’m going to spend $10, Timmy’s dogshit is slightly better and you come away with a full meal and drink, at least.

That’s a very creative name.

edit: To be clear, I was referring to the conglomerate name. I have no opinion on yours.

When they helped Trump win political points, they bought a lifetime boycott from my. “Franchisees are free to do whatever they like.” Is explicit consent from corporate, not the side step they thought it was.

Especially since their Franchisees are not free to do anything that corporate DOESN’T like when it comes down to the building, or decor, or supplies, or food, or special deals, or whatever the fuck else is involved in running the damn business.

However, for politics, gee shucks they just can’t have any rules and the franchisees are just able to do whatever.

My bullshitometer hit 11 on that one.
