this is the last weekend of my art show with @shirleywu.studio! we used ceramics, beads, and data from the Japan Meteorological Agency to capture the dates of sakura blooms and ginkgo and maple leaf color changes over the last seven decades. 🌸🍁🍃 luma.com/calendar/cal...

I have been writing this post about the economics of open source, on and off, for 13 years. I wasn't expecting to end up at "Microsoft should send corporations a huge bill" but nothing else we've tried has worked. seldo.com/posts/nobody-pays-for-ope…
seldo.com
Nobody pays for open source. We can force them to. | Seldo.com
Thirty years of voluntary funding schemes haven't paid open source maintainers because asking doesn't scale. The real money already flows — to JFrog, Docker, Sonatype — at the registry layer. The fix: registries charge companies for supply (they already do), then route a slice automatically to the maintainers who make that supply worth having.
