you can’t get a sim card anonymously here, and i believe that’s the situation in other places.

It varies by country: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prepaid_mobile_phone#Privacy_rights

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

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.

Well, we agree that she looked terrible. Here’s the evidence: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYymRU-bfpQ

Indeed, I have little respect for advertisers and I disagree with her politics. But I wouldn’t say I have no sympathy, and I offered a plausible explanation on why she might have taken the job.

research has indicated that women and other minorities view risky job offers as the only chance they are likely to get.

Now’s a good time to advertise the fediverse, if you’re still on reddit. Just pick your favorite instance, and tell people to check it out and to click “login/register” if they like it.

What a bland article. Just when it starts to become insightful, it ends:

These events are all signs of a gig economy that might just be falling apart, not because of any one CEO decision but because companies that find success by framing themselves as a DIY alternative to an established industry can only grow in the same direction as the very thing they wanted to replace. The original sin, it seems, is when they try to be both.

Noscript extension on Firefox still works.

Though if you want to support quality reporting, paying for a nytimes account is not a bad idea.

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.)

It used to be really tough to unsubscribe from Prime, but Amazon was getting sued for that so they made it easier to unsubscribe.

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.

Original rude boy ska. The best of all time:

• Desmond Dekker, “007 Shanty Town”, 1967
• The Skatalites, “Guns of Navarone”, 1965
• Tony Tribe, “Red Red Wine”, 1969

BONUS TRACK is it ska or is it rocksteady? either way one of my favorite songs in any genre:

• Toots and the Maytals, “Sun Moon and Stars”, 1969

“There is nothing special about Reddit except its community and the content the community created.”

This is the fundamental truth that rules all others.
