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..

perhaps dial back the attitude a bit there? if you think you know better than someone (even if you're wrong), then you should have no trouble kindly educating instead of insulting them.

you may also wish to revisit your highly questionable claim that graphene properly configured on pixel is less secure than stock rom on some random android device.

It's not questionable at all to assume that a user rooting and installing their own OS is a security risk. That's the entire premise of zero trust. I'm sure Graphene OS is secure and better for user privacy when configured properly. But you can't trust that an end user will configure it properly. That's what I am saying and have been saying since the first message. You can't trust the user to be security minded. Ultimately, the best thing you can do as a developer or a business is support a known quantity of software and hardware configurations and that likely means only supporting OEM installed ROMs.

that's great buddy. but while recapping basic IT facts might make you feel smart on facebook. this is lemmy where the average user ^1^ is perfectly familiar the principles. here it just telegraphs to us that you didn't read the fucking article (which would've taken less time than spamming the thread & insulting users btw).

^1^ before the influx of reddit api refugees - on that topic do you ever reflect on how corporate bootlicking might relate to the over-corporatisation of reddit which led to users fleeing? only to come here and do unpaid simping for the corporations, slowly ruining this place too?
