Tuta’s new mail app uses an alternate method to have push notifications. Mentioned #Mastodon in the post. https://f-droid.org/de/2018/09/03/replacing-gcm-in-tutanota.html -

(1) works on Sprint network, but should also work if I change carriers;
(2) easily rootable, supported by popular #Android forks and #F-Droid;
(3) large, bright, responsive screen;
(4) good battery life (replaceable battery preferred);
(5) real headphone jack and working Bluetooth / Bluetoot_LE;
(6) available protective case & screen protector.
I'm sure that #Daddy_A and @amic will think of something I missed, but for now, I'm posting this this #lazyFed request. -

Then I saw: "Switch to Signal! [some-link]"
No, dear. #Signal is not in #F-Droid and they want my phone number. I won't try to explain the danger of relying on a single central server, because she's only 10, but not only is it not federated, it has no intention of ever being federated.
No thanks! -

There were also a few new things that I could not disable. And I had to re-enable software installation from #F-Droid (the only place I trust). I expect Google Play would not require this (if I hadn't disabled it long ago). -

I'm not a vegetarian, but I have thought about how difficult it must be to find vegetarian & vegan restaurants, especially when traveling.
