This is about the Anonymization of Keystroke Dynamics.

I came across this idea while reading about DeepSeek and looking at their Privacy Policy:

But this is not about DeepSeek, but about any of the big actors of Surveillance Capitalism on whose services we rely (Read Shoshana Zuboffs book for the disturbing details, some cites).

There are two experimental browser plugins for chrome and firefox both based on work by Paul Moore.

A crowdfunding campaign for an USB device failed on indiegogo.

But for deskhop the same effect could possibly be reached by extending the firmware - given that there are enough resources available to buffer and delay keystrokes.

This is a very, very cool request and links to articles! Shouldn't be too hard to implement even, but it would need to be a specific mode/setting otherwise the gamers would be very very angry at variable latency :)

I'll maybe try the firefox plugin first to see how it works...
