W3C announces Web 3.11 "Web for Workgroups"

"The original code name ‘Everything is an NFT now’ didn't focus test as well as we thought."

At a joint press conference this morning, the world’s leading Internet companies announced the release of a brand new specification for the World Wide Web: dubbed “Web 3.11 - Web for Workgroups”.

“The original version and code name ‘Web 3.0 - Everything is an NFT now’ didn't focus test as well as we thought,” stated Sir Tim Berners-Lee, Director of the World Wide Web Consortium and Knight of the Round Table. “So we went with a versioning system that worked well for tech companies in the past.”

According to the announcement, the World Wide Web Consortium plans to implement industry standard version numbering to all future revisions of the World Wide Web specification. For example, the next version after 3.11 will be 95. Followed by 98, ME, XP, and Vista.

“But, most importantly,” continued Sir Berners-Lee as he donned his armor and prepared for the jousting tournament at which he hoped to win a kiss from the fair maiden, “all of these versions will be filled with blockchain-y goodness. Just really up to our eyeballs in blockchain, crypto stuff. We might even throw in some Serverless things here or there. Not sure what that is, exactly, but it sounds fantastic. Oh! Also DRM. You can't have a free and open Web without DRM wrapped NFTs, after all!”

A copy of the “Web 3.11 - Web for Workgroups” specification is available as an NFT from the W3C NFT store.

Is that satire? Is it? Who knows! The future is crazy! On that note…

If you haven’t already done so, now is a crazy good time to pick up a Lunduke Journal subscription.

Tons of videos (including “Linux Sucks 2022”), 11 books, video games… the works. Plus you get to help keep The Lunduke Journal free from all corporate influence. Which is also pretty neat.
