Which is the right advise when you live in the current society.
Advice. (Yes, it's a compulsion; I can't help myself.)

This is half true, because Wikipedia admins had the ability to edit sitewide JavaScript until 2018.
A certain number of "community" admins maintain that right to this day after it was realized this was a massive security hole.
You mean interface admins?
> Pixel A's are quite affordable
There's first-world, upper-middle-class affordable (~$500) and then there's global affordable (<$250).
I got a Pixel 7 secondhand (but good condition) for the equivalent of about $270. It would have been less but I needed 256 gb of storage.

I'm dreading having to buy a new rugged Android phone. I have one where all the stuff I don't want is turned off. F-Droid, Firefox, FairEmail, DuckDuckGo, no Google account. Getting a new phone into that configuration may not be possible.
The major brands are more and more locked down, and the minor brands can't be trusted.
I have a Cat phone now. The actual manufacturer, Bullett, went bankrupt. Can't get the small rubber parts needed to maintain the waterproofing.
Suggestions?
You could get a pixel and flash grapheneos. Most stock roms will require google services.

I spoke things such as "this is genuinely" for a long time before LLMs.
I am worried people will think I use LLMs in my posts. This sort of sucks.
I am also not a native English speaker, which doubly sucks in this case; while I am fluent, I not always know what sounds natural in English.
I think it's hard to say what sounds natural, and what is a stylistic flaw that is nevertheless natural to say. For instance in your comment you say
> for a long time before LLMs.
The double use of the sound "fore" (in "for" and "before") can sound jarring.
Similarly "This sort of" feels a bit off to me, though I'm not sure a could definitively say why. Maybe it's a bit of a garden-path sentence; it looks like the noun "sort" before becoming the adverb "sort of". Or maybe this is just some kind of peculiarity I've picked up and your writing is perfectly natural.
Except that nowadays it feels more like people asking you for the time every 2 minutes while standing just in front of Big Ben.
I see it everyday on forums/Discord servers where some users will treat you like their personal search engine simply because they are too lazy to spend 10s reading the results themselves.
Big Ben, the bell?

Who is "you" in that sentence?
One.

>> that gives us total control over what our devices do
Like rooted Android phone, which is useless for regular folks because many critical apps doesn't work (like banking).
I have a rooted Android phone and my banking app works fine, with relatively little effort to get it working.
Though rooting is quite niche, so it's easy enough for banks to disallow it completely when accessing their apps. If root access were as common on mobile devices as on desktop I doubt there would be any problems at all.

I am Indian. I read easily to 1400. But then 1300 is suddenly difficult to read
I speak English natively. I read to 1400 without difficulty, read 1400 and 1300 with some sruggle, and found beyond that it was largely unintelligible; I can understand maybe 1 in 3 words.
