They don’t have the mental capacity to hold anything remotely ambiguous or undefined in their rigid minds. So they try to force reality to conform to their overly simplistic little mental landscape.

What are your requirements?

Looks like there are more things I need to start randomizing and injecting with noise.

I am literally so paranoid I regularly vary my keysteoke rhythms and explore polyrhytmic techniques to create variations. Not even joking.

I’m confused. Isn’t “collecting keystroke data” just an alarmist way to describe text entry?

So, from your knowledge of those APIs, this isn’t possible? I don’t need to develop a defensive protocol for it? I like to be comprehensive, especially with a potential (ideological and propaganda, if not literal) invasion from the new fascist state to my south, but if this is a low-level probability, I can put it way down my priority list.

[Citations needed] or it didn’t happen.

This is such a bullshit challenge. I often see it used to essentially bully someone into a side issue about citations. It’s a great way to avoid discussing the original issue.

I have knowledge (that I rarely share) that I am absolutely not going to cite, because I’m not jeopardising sources, or clearances, or violating my obligations to the official secrets act just to play someone’s status games.

If someone makes a claim, I am perfectly able to go find the relevant citations myself, if there are any. I am more interested in the structure and content of what they’re adding to the discussion.
