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.

      As a former employee… That does nothing. Crazies that spend 15 min to order some fries were common.

      If you go at rush hour it can be annoying to the employee and other customers, but at the end of the day nobody will remember and you would have spent 20 min and 10 dollars (which is 9 dollars material profit for MacDonald).

      Just. Don’t. Go. To. Macdonald’s.

      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.

        Entirely different country, but they still have a counter in addition to the screens; the counter is for when you want to pay cash

      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.

            If the company is always too busy, they will need to hire more workers or the existing ones will leave.

              I highly doubt it, if the store is too busy they’ll likely either do nothing because why would they or if it’s really bad add some robots who can handle the workload so they can get rid of those pesky employees.

              In the past few years almost all of the fast food places in the closest plaza to me have been working on a skeleton crew. Lines wrapped around the building, 2 miserable employees, upset customers, but the money is still coming in.

              Most people can’t just leave their job, even a days wage can crush a lot of people.

            Hey now, sometimes the company employs security that’s extremely bored, incredibly racist, and looking for a low income punching bag to hassle.

              Ahh how could I forget about the bored, racist, wannabe cops with nothing better to do. The perfect face to any modern company.

                This is a dick move if you don’t tell your coworkers how to exploit the loophole too, and a heroic act if you do.
