Glad OpenSea puts up warnings about any emojis or Zero Width Joinders etc.
Should I double my sponsorship of this project?
From the announcement "The number of people keeping this project going is tiny (currently just 121 supporters), but this small group of passionate Linux users are creating meaningful forward progress to improve the touchpad ecosystem for hundreds of thousands of Linux touchpad users. For those who don't want to rely on a future beholden to Apple, we hope that you'll consider supporting us? We could be getting more done if we had 250 supporters. "
That way he can be patio11 across all platforms if he wishes (and doesnt need to worry about getting "patio11" on every new platform that's created). Or, he can just create a subwallet with a different identity but still rolls up into his main wallet.
It also protects against somoene putting their twitter in their profile and pretending to be patio11. i.e.:
Hey HN I'm patio11, here's proof, I linked my twitter: https://twitter.com/patio11
You and the author might also check out the new ENS (Ethereum Name Service), it support emojis for use as crypto identity/wallets. "Triple pures" (three base-level emoji) are popular as a wallet address.

To me that implies it's done on chain...I guess it could just be in their centralized database though.
Curious what the Whatsapp UI does for moments when USPD hits $0.99 like December 1 2021 when it hit $0.989.

As someone new to DeFi, I found the article sparked new questions, even though as you said it wasn't deeply researched.
If Celcius is basically reinvesting into a bunch of other assets, it's possible, or even likely, that the high yield assets are too good to be true. That's where my concern would be. Is BadgerDAO rock solid? Compound? I would be curious to see expert analysis of these. Celcius is simply built on top.
