Never even considered this but that makes sense damn. Time to start work on my open source privacy-respecting leg breaking machine

I hear a lot about gait detection, but I wonder how widely it is implemented.
Maybe I should start walking at an irregular pace like the Fremen in Dune to throw off gait detection. Since it's probably trained on an average lazy American gait I suspect an intentionally irregular gait would completely fuck the algorithm. Of course, if you're the only one doing it you might wind up even more identifiable. But maybe you could introduce some subtle irregularities that most people wouldn't notice in person but a computer would pick up.
This laughably does not work unless you're only walking at night under very specific circumstances.
Nothing. Simple.
Everything you're describing is terribly inaccurate.
