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..

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 month ago

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.

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.

Honestly, what fastfood isn't shit nowadays? Maybe some more local places, but national chains are all shit

[–] ikidd 1 points 1 month ago

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.

Doesn't their website offer the same functions?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

no. you can't order from the mcdonalds website, it tells you to go to the app. if you wanted to you could use the doordash website, or the like

[–] InnerScientist 1 points 1 month ago

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.

[–] thebigslime 1 points 1 month ago

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

You shouldn't be eating fast food all the time
