Timeline:
- Until end of 2026: Normal operations.
- Jan 2027: Switch to read-only, but SVN continues to work.
- Jan 2028: SVN also read-only.

Reason: The underlying FusionForge software is no longer maintained.

After a short break, the new Web Weekly is about to hit all inboxes. 🫣

This time, it includes `text-box` going Baseline, the two phases of `fetch`, linked parameters in SVG, and the new `Connection-Allowlist` header.

Enjoy!

somebody in a chat asked us what we did about DOES>, a few weeks ago

Evocation does not have an equivalent to DOES>, not for any principled reason, just because we didn't know about it. it had been on our back burner to figure out, for some time.

anyway we went and read about it now and we understand how it's implemented. we don't think we actually have a use for it, heh.

there's a bunch of small cleanup work we could now do to make it less syntax-y to define a compilation thing, but, you know, one thing at a time

there we go. the "enchant" and "inscribe" words now work on hex.e just the same as they do on evoke.e, which required teaching them about alternative executable structures

the actual binary of hex has not changed, only the way it's built, so no need to re-audit it. we've been taking pains about that, it's only changed once and that was for freebsd compatibility.

@db that's what Trump did. No matter what her says, his supporters somehow always reinterpret it the way favorable to them (even when it's directly opposite). So he doubled down on everything and that brought him into presidency, no less.

I'm not sure it can be replicated though.

Ballot arrived today! So USPS has not yet been completely compromised... But I will still probably return it using a drop box rather than the mail.

I love doing laundry. The fact I am putting a combo of powders and liquids in a machine that whirrs around the dirty clothes and them coming out completely clean again, and then putting the wet things in another machine that whirrs them around with hot air and then I get clothes as good as new out at the end?! This is so wild and so overlooked. Absolute witchcraft!

"[Zaslav] set about unsuccessfully reducing the company’s $43 billion in debt through rounds of layoffs and canceling film projects. His most high-profile cancellations were an unfinished Batgirl movie and shelving Coyote Vs. Acme, the Looney Tunes movie currently on track to outgross every single Warner Bros. release this year."

LOL, brutal.

I received the orange mussolini's $90 bribe today as a direct deposit from Social Security.

Thank you, Mr. Trump! I turned right around and donated all of it to the ACLU, who will fight for our civil rights and against corruption.

You know it's an AI narration when, discussing "Gilligan's Island", it refers to their ship as the "MIN-KNOW" rather than the Minow. Fun fact: Creator Sherwood Schwartz named the shipwrecked and ruined S.S. Minow as a dig at then FCC Chairman Newton Minow, who had given a speech calling television programming "a vast wasteland", which annoyed Schwartz.

“AI” as a “new medium”. hmmmm; for some definitions of “medium”, I guess.

As Deborah Frances-White points out there is a clear link between the Frat-boy culture that has been at the centre of the sexual assault at Cornell University, and the manosphere.

As she then adds:

'men everywhere, let me assure you, there is no woman who wants sexual contact with seven men on the same night. If she did want that, she’d organise it in advance when she was sober and she’d interview all the men ahead of time'...
