Hi, this is World speaking.
You can pretend it's not me. That's a bit silly but oh well, it's hardly a contender for the most outrageous thing that happened around here today.
You can also chose to only partly partake in what's going on RIGHT NOW and be very cool with that decision. Like, oh I don't know, the Amish.
But this is what I am today. Please get real.
Your friend, World
If you believe there's more to your point, please restate it in a less patronizing manner.
Anyway, I thought I jotted my point(s) down quite amusingly, but oh well, hit and miss. Restated more plainly:
- I am acknowledging what the world is and where that leaves anyone disabling JS indiscriminately (sic) in 2021, solely because of the technology and not because of individual usage.
- I think it's important to acknowledge what the world is to have any serious discussion about the world. How about you?
- I made no statement about what I want the world to be. You have been inferring (wrongly, but, oh well, it barely matters)
- Being compared to the Amish is not "sad" to me and it's not meant to be offensive. What I think is sad is if you chose to be disconnected (like the Amish) but unclear that you are disconnected because of personal considerations (unlike the Amish) and then get angry at the thing you are disconnected from because it doesn't care about your personal considerations.
Calling someone Amish of the internet because they refuse to be tracked, refuse to take part in voluntary remote code execution or just do their computing on a computer from 2010 on a poor internet connection is just sad.
If you want to live in a world where everything is a SPA by all means go for it, but be prepared to be criticised for making a blog post or a news story that is literally a bunch of text paragraphs interleaved with images require Javascript.
Doing so is not progress.
