Revolut, McDonald's, and Authy have banned the use of GrapheneOS.
  • They constantly force you to update or the app won't work. I was already having issues with Revolut on GrapheneOS so I just closed my account and switched to Wise. The Revolut app was a bloated mess anyway.

  • So I just took the next step on the de-Googling pathway and installed Asteroid OS on my smartwatch.
  • I had it installed on my old moto 360 for a while but yes... It certainly seemed dead. It didn't have much functionality and mostly just turned my smart watch into a dumb watch. 😐

  • What's the most severe example of a fake version of a book you've ever seen?
  • Long ago, pre-internet I read this sci-fi book "Star Chase" by Brian Royal that I found at the library. (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1520203)

    I later looked it up and found out it was a blatant plagiarism of "Escape Across The Cosmos" by Gardner F Fox.

    Even the authors name was faked!

  • For the first time in my life, I have hit my deductible AND reached my out-of-pocket maximum. I now have three months of actual free healthcare, which is unheard of in the US. What should I get done?
  • Not a medical procedure, but take the time to reevaluate your medical plan before open enrollment! Look at the cheaper plans and see how much you'd save in premiums. It might be greater than the difference in max out of pocket. And if you get a qualified "high deductible" plan you can even contribute the savings to an HSA that you get to rollover and keep forever into retirement, without ever paying taxes on it.

  • Is there any proprietary Android app for which you wish there would be an open-source alternative?
  • There are always people claiming Organic Maps or other OSM apps are perfect replacements for GMaps and I'm just curious what other tool these people were using for location based searches. Because it apparently wasn't GMaps?

  • UK News outlet asking for a subscription to reject cookies.
  • I should clarify that it very well might work if I was ok consenting to everything! But since there's no option to decline without paying...🤷‍♂️

  • UK News outlet asking for a subscription to reject cookies.
  • I have this but it's no good for consent-or-pay, unfortunately.

  • Recommend me some Quality of Life Android applications
  • I think Geometric weather is abandoned but Breezy Weather is a newer fork that's maintained. I recommend it!

  • Tafkars: Reddit-API proxy for Lemmy (help wanted)
  • @derivator wow it would be amazing if Infinity and Apollo could just plug into Lemmy using this proxy. Right now Jerboa is alright, but I'd immediately switch to Infinity.
