A tool for concealing writing style to evade linguistic fingerprinting (git.anarchists.space)

Everyone has a unique writing style, word choice, sentence structure, punctuation habits and that can be used to identify them. Lingunymous rewrites your text using a local LLM to mask these patterns, making it harder to attribute writing to a specific individual.

Use cases include:

Protecting anonymity when publishing sensitive or controversial content

Evading authorship attribution and stylometric analysis

Separating your personal writing fingerprint from pseudonymous accounts

Static typing redundancy is a waste of compute.

Have never encountered anyone suggesting doing less static type checking.

Static typing finds bugs. Especially pyright. Especially within tests. Separating the static type checking into stubs reduces any performance impact from typing related imports.

With py315, there will be soft|lazy import. Excess imports will have minimal impact cuz import proxy will be created but not executed until the import is actually used..
