w3c decides "the internet" needs a new blockchain identification system.

Oh, you thought the w3c wanted just one blockchain based standard for you to follow now?
"The DID architectural approach appears to encourage divergence rather than convergence & interoperability," wrote Tantek Çelik, web standards lead at Mozilla, in a mailing list post last year. "The presence of 50+ entries in the registry, without any actual interoperability, seems to imply that there are greater incentives to introduce a new method, than to attempt to interoperate with any one of a number of growing existing methods."
Mozilla significantly undercounted. There are currently 135 entities listed by the W3C's DID Working Group, up from 105 in June 2021 and 86 in February 2021 as the spec was being developed. If significant interest develops in creating DID methods, the W3C – which this week said it is pursuing public-interest non-profit status – may find itself unprepared to oversee things."

Sorry I meant to post this in troll lounge.

Both Google and Mozilla arguing for more centralization? I'm shocked. This has no place in this family friendly forum.
"Google representatives felt the spec needed to address DID methods *that violate ethical or privacy norms by, for example, allowing pervasive tracking*."
"Despite these concerns, *as well as resistance from Apple and Microsoft*, the W3C overruled the objections..."
I did not realize The Register had morphed into The Onion.
How are we going to produce the extra energy needed to keep all these blockchains alive anyway? I wonder.
I went to sleep earlier the other day because some bored thunderstorm sent the grid into blackout mode. For 12 hours. So I decided to cancel my self-driving Tesla order and invest into a couple of beehives instead. The bees can keep the honey, I will just need to collect one or two wax frames so I can keep carving code on wooden tables in such cases in the future.
