The article renders well even if you block javascript though

GP's point is that the page attempts to run unnecessary JS and that this is objectionable.

I guess "I want to have javascript enabled but no one to use it" is a hill to die on, but it's pretty exotic

"I want websites to justify to me that I should let them run JavaScript, and whitelist them for that purpose" is an ordinary and popular take (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/noscript/).

Yeah, but that's different from "this works perfectly well without javascript but I'm still offended for some reason"

You're implying they're the same in some way, but you haven't explained why.

Disable your script execution and cookie storage for the OP site and then attempt to view it. The page and content load fine; the host injecting coercing messages for enabling tracking cookies and scripts are the reason AI has been integrated into everything.

You either comply of face unnecessary roadblocks. OP has complied by sharing the link. My right to choose tracking cookies and script execution is parallel to my right to not utilize or be forced to utilize AI. This issue has to be addressed universally as is not simple "no ai" on the web; it's freedom to use the web or compliance with violation of that freedom

Hyperbole much? These are two different issues, you can of course write your own blog post about that.

Benefit of the doubt: this person wants to get their word out and it's more energy than they had to track down a pristine, pure, sparkling blogging engine.

Can you explain javascript and cookies similarity to LLMs?

You have the ability to turn that off…
