Offering a more progressive definition of freedom
Offering a more progressive definition of freedom
Jason Kottke, kottke.org, 2018/08/30
A little off-topic but I like this. "Clean drinking water is freedom. Good public education is freedom. Universal healthcare is freedom. Fair wages are freedom. Policing by consent is freedom. Gun control is freedom. Fighting climate change is freedom. A non-punitive criminal justice system is freedom. Affirmative action is freedom. Decriminalizing poverty is freedom. Easy & secure voting is freedom. This is an idea of freedom I can get behind." More...

Google Titan Security Key Review: Two Great Keys For The Price Of One
Cameron Summerson, ReviewGeek, 2018/08/30
Everyone will have security keys of one sort or another shortly. I've written before about the Yubi key. This post reviews Google's answer to (and some would say rip-off of) the Yubi. "When you sign into an account that’s protected by a security key, you’ll have to insert it into your device (or pair over Bluetooth) and press the button. More...
