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..

The mcdonalds app is a scam to get you to agree to their arbitration clause

I can't tell you how frustrating it is to not only be subjected to Fox ~~Entertainment~~ News by my family, but to be subjected to their social media segments every 5 minutes (not exaggerating).

It feels like when I find those ancient newspaper articles about how so-and-so moved in with her boyfriend before their wedding night or whatever.

Some things never change I guess.

They gave away free chips in exchange of you downloading their app and accepting their shitty conditions.
