<p>> Liminalism (if we can christen this as a movement, and we should) is a form dedicated to the discovery of digital found art. It is important not just because of its content, but because it signals the migration of critical terminology and thinking into popular discourse in a truly democratic sense, independent of the traditional confines of the art industry as expressed in exhibitions, galleries, and museums.<p>This is not the language of an elitist.<p>If anything, it sounds like someone <i>defending</i> Liminalism's inclusion in the contemporary canon <i>from</i> arrogant elitists.</p>

<p>My interpretation:<p>First, they can't attack a WiFi access point for which they do not know any password(s). Thus your multi-SSID access point with multiple passwords is "safe" from this particular attack.<p>However, second, they <i>can</i> attack an access point for which they know <i>any</i> password, gaining access to clients on the other SSIDs. This means your security is now effectively only the security of your worst SSID's password. It also may defeat your purpose in having multiple SSIDs/passwords in the first place.</p>

<p>The "We" is short for Westinghouse, or at least it was: Westinghouse Steered Stabilized Camera Mount, thus WESSCAM.

<p>Portability. I use YubiKeys with desktop Macs, MacBooks, iPads, and iPhones. The alternative would be to create (Secure Enclave) keys in each of those devices and register each of those keys with each thing requiring authentication... which could take a <i>while</i>.<p>I guess the alternative is something like Passkeys synchronized via iCloud Keychain. Hopefully Apple is encrypting the Passkey key material within the Secure Enclave using each other Secure Enclave's public key. Otherwise it kind of defeats the whole purpose of having a Secure Enclave. (If I remove a YubiKey from a computer, I have some assurance that computer can't authenticate with YK-controlled accounts.)</p>

<p>The last time I checked (this may have changed), Firefox also tags the default search engines with URL query parameters indicating that the search came from Firefox. When I tried to change this it would not let me edit the default URLs. I had to add entirely-new versions of Google and DuckDuckGo, with custom names and stripped-down URLs in order to avoid the tagging.<p>No doubt it is revenue-related, but it's also a privacy problem.</p>
