   Qubes OS 4.3 should be released soon, an interesting #privacy feature is cloaking user input patterns :goose_peek:

   > Add event buffering for cloaking user input patterns

   The user may wish to prevent biometric information about their mouse
   and keyboard patterns from leaking into certain Qubes. To make this
   possible, this feature inserts random noise into the delivery timing of
   all X events, making it more difficult to distinguish the user from
   other X event buffering users. The maximum delay in event delivery is
   user-configurable through the "events_max_delay" configuration option.

     @solene Random noise can be nullified given enough input data. Sounds inefficient.
