Does that mean I can also send the „Refresh“ http header to do that?

Yes. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Re... In a similar vein, you can also use `Link: foo.css; rel=stylesheet` instead of ` ` to specify stylesheets. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Li...

Only works in Firefox, sadly. But you can do some really weird stuff with it, like https://www.5snb.club/pages/contentlesshtml/ (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42234837)

IDK why, but this reminds me of earlier days of internet, when it was full of random, non-usable but funny content like this. Best things often don't make that much sense.

If it was horrible and had music, it'd be like YTMND

W3C has deprecated this for a long time now: https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG10-HTML-TECHS/#meta-element

Soo... browsers will likely support it until the end of the internet?

Yup, unless HTML6 is backwards-incompatible, which is highly unlikely.

You could also compute the speech bubbles on the client's side...

Yes, but it seems > No JavaScript is sent to the browser. Is a design goal. I doubt it is possible without JS. Especially inside SVG.

...is it pedantic if I ask if WASM is considered JS and / or whether it can run without any assistance from JS?

I mean in the 2000s there were a number of other options (flash, silverlight, java, probably more) but that era is behind us, and that would be extra pedantic.

I pasted this into slack every week for years, every Wednesday. People used to ask if I was OK if I forgot.

I've got two months worth of wednesday videos [0] set up in a schedule :D

This is absolutely fantastic, well done!

If you're not done playing with it, you can make it dynamic so it's always accurate, haha! Show the smallest "uncompleted" unit of time available with a fallback for December 31st evenings where tintin simply says nothing...

At night: select the week.

Also end of the week: select the month.

Also end of the month: select the year.

Also end of the year: fallback.

Great suggestion, and thank you!
