oh nice - Notion Calendar (dang lovely calendar app) supports Outlook finally. Of course, now I don't have a need for it, but still, happy to see that in the app.

I've shared this before, but the amount of "book promotion spam" I get as someone who hasn't published a book in a while is... insane. I can't imagine what more prolific authors get.

Have you ever tried to read a scientific journal article and been told “you don’t have access, pay to download this article?” Did you know that the author of that article gets $0 if you pay? Instead, you can email the author and ask for a free copy! I’d be delighted to help and answer questions!

Another week, another package: show-keystrokes.netlify.app The native app I typically use to display keystrokes on the screen is disallowed by a corp policy. So I wrote a component to fill that gap. Embed it on your site and you’re good to go.
show-keystrokes.netlify.app
<show-keystrokes> – Keystroke & Shortcut Visualizer
A custom element that visualizes keystrokes, keyboard shortcuts, and navigational keys with macOS/Windows support and customizable themes.

Yesterday when I praised therapists I forgot to share this nugget. My therapist started our session yesterday by sharing that her and her husband had just finished a chronological order watch of Star Trek shows.

I remember everyone blaming Flash for making the web bad... and now we have web sites with modals, battery draining ads, and numerous anti-user behaviors. It was never the tech.

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&#x27;t paid open source maintainers because asking doesn&#x27;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.
