Agree.
We'd sign that #petition, but #changeDotOrg is Cloudflare.
Taking into account what we've seen, #Amazon is among the worst and most predatory in every space they touch.
Maybe he'll be so "touched by space" that he'll stay there.
Yes, I saw that it was behind cloudflare too, but I personally thought it was worth it
@selea @dsfgs i was going to mention that but i've called out so many #changeDotOrg #petition pushers that i have no way of knowing whether i've already nagged someone about it. I will never sign a Cloudflared petition because I cannot support a /selective democracy/ whereby only ppl willing to compromize privacy get to participate in a democratic process.

Quite right, we've improved our organisational skills in a number of small ways but that is an area we've not considered.
Fedilab have a notes section. These days though we're cautious about mentioning Fedilab, dev appears to be taken over by interests that feel its more important to lock out #Android4p0 to 4.4 users with smaller devices.
There's even a danger #FDroid will drop older phones. Once that happens we'll be pushing #APAB (#AllPhonesAreBad).

@dsfgs @selea i noticed you're using a dvorak keyboard (from your typo). That's often hard to pull off because so often the J & F keys are made with a unique socket that makes them hard to rearrange. But yeah, i'm with you on the forced chronic upgrading that Android apps often impose & even though fdroid apps tend to be higher quality, respect for compatibility tends to be an exception.
@resist1984
AFAWK, right now it is just something that FDroid were floating. There is no timeline, so hopefully its not something they persue.
We'd much rather instructions on the front page of their website, "Have an older phone? Here is a step-by-step guide to updating your CA keys."
We realise its a tricky situation that people with older phones are faced with, but software updates shouldn't dismiss good hardware.
