Oh, thanks, I didn’t realize that about advanced user mode, I’ll look into it!

The link says that NoScript is “redundant with uBlock Origin”
I like NoScript because I can click on its icon on the toolbar, and easily select which scripts on a given page to whitelist, or which to whitelist temporarily (until browser quit.) And on any page, I can select which set of scripts (by domain name) on that page to run or whitelist.
With uBlock Origin, it’s only “all script on the page” or “no scripts on the page”, right?
You can get the sponsorblock exension on standard android firefox now, if that’s what you’re asking.
normal FF with ublock
This is the way (assuming you mean Ublock Origin, which I understand is superior to just-plain Ublock.) I also use SponsorBlock.
You can’t remain unlinked to your real identity as seen by the government because you need to provide your id when buying a new SIM
This varies by country. In the US you can buy a prepaid mobile phone with cash and supply it with prepaid cards, all without showing ID:

(but obviously they can figure out who you are by tracking your signal and seeing where you spend your time.)
what little ever existed of the plot
The plot isn’t really the point.
hadn’t cracked a smile in over a hundred pages.
Apparently one of the reasons for the historic rivalry between France and England was their different senses of humor, with the French wit considered much classier. Anyway, plenty of people would agree with you, though I think the books are hilarious.
Coming from Wired, I’d hope the article would have a more technology focused approach,
Wired is for people who want to talk about technology without actually taking about technology.
But Hanlon’s razor says you shouldn’t.
All right, we got a razor fight!
Do you like commercials? And how much are you willing to pay for TV?
If the answers are “no” and “zero”, then that’s going to affect how much TV you/we watch, even if you/we like the TV shows.
But what are the chances that StoryGraph will undergo enshittification?
Who the hell signed off on that?
ラヴクラフト, obviously.
“Lastly, I’ve intentionally done this work in a way that will, I hope, prove illegible and hostile to summary in media reports”
lel I like the way this person thinks. Did a quick read, is worth re-reading.
I’m pretty sure they were being sarcastic.
It’s “enswastification.”
artificial general intelligence - the thing LLMs claim to be
The major GPT-based systems will deny being AGIs. Most companies will also deny this. Is anyone reputable saying LLMs are AGIs?
Well, tensions were building, then there was an Incident, now they are trying a reconciliation so there will be a moment of calm. See here for more info: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycle_of_abuse
AI has gone through several cycles of hype and winter. There’s even a Wikipedia page for it: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_winter
Of course it’s valuable to discuss the dangers and inequities of a new technology. But one of the dangers is being misled.
Right? I don’t understand why people on the fediverse are getting excited about this. At best, Reddit will have admins to insta-wipe anything objectionable. At worst, Reddit will point to the increased engagement as a sign that the protesters gave up and came back.

In the US you can still get a prepaid mobile without showing ID and pay with cash.
