From 2023, W3C is its own legal entity (โW3C Incโ).
What's new, you ask? Well, it's a big change, as until this year, W3C wasn't a thing in itself. It existed in a โhosted modelโ, meaning (most recently) four universities โhostedโ W3C, with staff being employed by/through those universities. Three of those universities (all except MIT) are still around, now as โpartnerโ.
So Cambridge University is working on a library of graphic novels, as in a standing library focused specifically on graphic novels and the history of sequential art.

I wonder how many of those are real upvotes. I once had the suspicion that there is a lot of voter bots, so I created my own subreddit. Made two posts, ten fake accounts. One post I just gave up ores, the other just downvotes. The next day the post with up votes suddenly reached 100+ up votes and the one with downvotes was around 50 downvotes.

You're posssibly aware by now, but the bleeding edge version of proton experimental has fixes in place for the Ubisoft launcher. Just spent an hour reacquainting myself with Washington DC.
Launchers still need to be put against the wall though.

Okay, so after watching #TheLastOfUS on #HBO, I wondered if #SciFi#zombies (basically a virus, bacteria, etcetera, cause craziness & not a living dead scenario) could occur in humans.
According to #science, the answer is yes. At the 10:15 mark of this video mentions a parasitic protozoan that replaces mammels fear of #cats with a love for cats (or at least their scent.
youtu.be/jM5jf-8ekVA
I guess this explains why #Caterday is so popular online (regardless of the social platform used).
Although it usually infects mice ๐, this parasite can affect humans as well, as it wants us to be eaten by cats (even big cats like lions). From #ScienceFiction to science fact. Crazy if you ask me!
