Nostr clients are equivalent to web browsers IMHO. Until Chrome/Firefox/Brave are forced to verify age, I wouldn't bother complying.
Just installed!
Unless he completely hotboxed the place, it's probably fine.
Glad to know I'm not the only NetAdmin that struggles with this.
Performance review is due tomorrow and I can't figure out what to write without sounding dumb 😄
Google will surely block third party app stores to enforce this law.
People whose jobs depend on vacuuming don't buy cheaply made Samsung trash.
Sadly KYC rules would make it just as useless.
Bankers really don't want micropayments becoming mainstream.
I really hate this expectation that one needs to be continually employed throughout their career.
God forbid I spend my hard earned money and enjoy life 🙄
Over 68% of people slap cases on their phones. Why? Manufacturers build them weak by design—fragile screens, flimsy frames. It’s a cash grab, forcing us to protect their flaws
Almost lost some USDC the other day because I used the wrong network.
Crypto outside Bitcoin is such a convoluted shitshow.
Expecting change from the top is how we got into this mess.
Schools are local jurisdiction. If people want change they need to start electing rational Board Trustees.
Welcome to the modern VC backed internet, where open source code and standards are hijacked to build proprietary, rent seeking walled gardens.
Revolut insecurely checks the ro.boot.verifiedbootstate property and forbids it being yellow, which means a locked device with an aftermarket OS that's being cryptographically verified by the firmware. They permit it being orange, which means an unlocked device with any OS.
They're specifically banning having a device that's locked with an aftermarket OS rather than banning having an unlocked device or an aftermarket OS in general. Similarly, they're specifically banning the value `grapheneos` for ro.build.user/ro.build.host.
Having the verified boot state at orange is unsafe, it means verified boot is disabled. There is no verification of OS integrity after each boot and update. There is no protection against exploit persistence nor a threat choosing to push a malicious update that is not signed with the same key as the originally installed operating system.
Both of these things and other similar insecure, useless checks are being done by several different SDKs. Revolut's app is full of sketchy, insecure third party libraries. They certainly don't take security seriously as they claim in their message about banning GrapheneOS.
We've fixed both of the ways they're banning GrapheneOS for our next release. Since third party SDKs are what's being used to do it, our hope is that this fixes a few other poorly written banking/financial apps doing similar stuff to ban aftermarket operating systems.
These are the full set of changes fixing Revolut's ban on GrapheneOS:

https://github.com/GrapheneOS/platform_system_core/commit/971110e37d73b5acb6e806b62146dcdcb29277b2
Other banking apps banning #GrapheneOS will need to be retested after the next release.
What the hell is Revolut smoking?
This is clearly malicious intent.
*Looks at the cobbled together mess that is our 911 dispatch network* 😬
Elon's an idiot. Welcome to the Fediverse!
Meanwhile in Japan, they are spending Billions constructing massive underground caverns to store excess stormwater.
This is more the consequences of western individualism than anything.
It will always be seen as the money laundering terrorist coin by the powers that be.
Which is great, because it takes the heat off Bitcoin.
