  I get that, and the vegan comparison is good. But I get why vegans act like that, even if I don’t share their opinion.
  In both of these cases you’re arguably pushing for a better world.

  But the difference is that veganism is changing the status quo and isn’t popular, while opposing AI is maintaining the status quo and is popular.

  You’re never going to convince a true believer even if you’re kind to them, so there is no point being kind. A mean message to an AI supporter isn’t actually to the AI supporter, it’s to their audience, establishing a zeitgeist.

  AI is bad, and if we let up the vocal opposition, that’ll make its way into more popular forums and we’ll lose the zeitgeist, and policymakers will notice it, and then we’ll start losing shit like workers rights.

  The other reply has it right, but I wanted to reply to confirm.

  “Pronouns” in this context almost always means “preferred pronouns” especially wrt people who have preferred pronouns that differ from those assigned at birth.

  It’s a bit hard to believe that someone would be aware of the study you mentioned, but not the common usage of the terms.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Need a keyboard with a dedicated "slop" button⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That is a willful misinterpretation of what I wrote.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Need a keyboard with a dedicated "slop" button⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t tell if you’re agreeing or disagreeing with me
  Because you wrote your reply like a criticism, but the content seem to agree with what I wrote

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Need a keyboard with a dedicated "slop" button⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s wild that OP would think these two things are equivalent.

  Pronouns are a thing that harms nobody, and the people frothing at the mouth are going out of their way to hurt people who did nothing wrong.

  AI (in its most common meaning at this time in pop culture) at the minimum is wasting electricity (and it’s associated climate impact), and has the potential to totally decimate the job market and usher in an era of inequality that we haven’t seen for hundreds of years, while simultaneously stealing from artists. The people frothing at the mouth aren’t hurting anyone.

  To use a bit of hyperbole, it’s kinda like if you said:

  Some of y’all see “white power” and freak out without processing anything that’s being said, like a conservative who sees a mixed race couple.

  Like pretty clearly people have a good reason for freaking out when they see that, and the other side of the equation are just bad people.

  I also feel like everyone seems to be missing that we’re taking about degradation, which isn’t usually “no js at all”, it’s some subset that isn’t supported. People use feature detection to find out of some feature is supported in the browser and if it’s not the they don’t enable the feature the depends on it.

  For the chat example, you could argue that a chat can degrade into a bulletin board, but I’d argue that people use chat for realtime messaging so js is needed for the base use case.

  If your webpage primarily just displays static information, then I agree that it should work without js or css. Like Wikipedia, or a blog, or news, or a product marketing page, or a forum/BBS.
  But there is a huge part of the web that this simply doesn’t apply to, and it’s not realistic to have them put in huge effort to support what can only be a broken experience for a fraction of a percent of users.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨nobody in webdev knows what graceful degradation is anymore⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  They know ssr is a thing which is why they used that term. But ssr produces a static page or static component, where webapps often require some level of interactivity for their basic functionality, such as reacting to server events. They’re asking if that can be achieved with ssr

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨nobody in webdev knows what graceful degradation is anymore⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe I’m out of the loop because I do mostly backend, but how do you update the chat window when new chats come in, without JavaScript?

  I agree.

  I believe it’s up to the devs to decide if they want to, or to not include it as a statement.
  But I don’t think that there should be any kind of stigma with having (or using) difficulty options.
