Tourists on Tech's Toll Roads – Purism

We can't accept being a tourist on tech's toll road, the future demands open highways accessible by everyone, where you can freely go where you want, how you want. Now is the time to disrupt these closed platforms locked to and controlled by a single vendor. Openness and diversity are advantages, not weaknesses, and the future demands more openness, more collaboration, and more freedom and control given to individuals over their own computers.

Chrome tip: enable tap dragging in Accessibility

Hey are you tired of finger yoga with click dragging text in Chrome?

Now you can just enable it under Settings > Accessibility 

YubiKey + Fastmail on Android is yummy

From the I-cant-wait-for-yubikeyNeo-NFC dept:

2-factor authentication works with Fastmail 

and a USB connector to connect the YubiKey 
to the Android device

Configuration slot 1 has the default OTP
for Fastmail 2FA goodness

Slot 2, I configured for a static password 
which is prefixed by account context when 
I'm away from 1Password

The only drawback (and it is a biggie) is YubiKey is
considered a hardware keyboard and Android 
has no dual input support like desktops

And seriously who wants to plug in 
a USB dongle every time you want to authenticate ??!!

Hey Agilebit, support YubiKey!!!
