Sure, but as I understand it, Darwin won't run macOS or iOS apps.

It's something Apple has already enabled for business and educational iPad users, just not regular customers. To get the feature, you generally have to have a paid service that's used to manage a collection of devices, including iPads.

Note: support.apple.com/guide/deploy...

And it's not like Şengün was alone in trying to be physical with Wemby. That's basically been the conventional for attacking Wemby since he was a rookie. The difference now is Wemby is more muscular, more prepared and better able to absorb and counter it.

Like, did ‪@momobrewer66.bsky.social watch *any* of the games the Spurs played against the Rockets? Anytime Şengün had the ball near Wemby under the basket, he gave Wemby multiple chicken wings to ribs, 80s style. That was Şengün's go-to move (and never called for the foul it is, BTW).

My moonshot — not because it's technologically infeasible, but because Apple would never do it — is for Apple to open source (or have IP protections expire on) older versions of macOS, iOS, etc. so that other companies could release new, non-Apple approved devices built on them.

This is a feature rather than a product, but what I've wanted forever is multi-user support on the iPad. In my household (and I suspect many others) an iPad is a shared device, and you don't necessarily want your kids having access to your work email or texts or what have you.

And that’s not to mention the huge funding disparities between public schools who can’t afford needed repairs because taxpayers refuse to fund them and a charter school that’s backed by a billionaire and private schools that can hike tuition, knowing the state will automatically pay some of it

Well-reported story, but the framing is problematic. This isn’t a “free market” by any means. Not when one set of schools has to take all comers and likely has to abide by a whole slew of regulations, and the other set can discriminate against kids with disabilities and those needing IEPs.

@jmcdonaldsa.bsky.social I feel like I should get a contribution line on this article for the likening of Champagnie to Green!

I was going to say.

I often find the writing process agony. Being done, though, ecstasy.

How Mitch Johnson keeps the Spurs from getting comfortable with winning As the Spurs close in on their first playoff appearance in seven years, coach Mitch Johnson is making sure they stay sharp by focusing on the standard of play as blowout wins pile up.

Nice story per usual, @jmcdonaldsa.bsky.social. But this one's *even better,* because it answers a question that's been burning in the minds of this and many other Spurs fans — What's up with the headbands? Hooray!

Preach, brother!

@unroll.skywriter.blue unroll

And yet somehow it does.

Kidding aside, Mitch has got to be COY, right? Given what the expectations for this team coming into this season and where they’re likely to end up, I think he’s a shoo-in.

Why not all three???

I appreciate the effort to have throwback graphics, but would have appreciated more being able to see the flipping shot clock regularly or getting updates on, say, how many three-pointers Devin Vassell had hit.

Overall, to me, it was a really crappy viewing experience.

I'm sorry to be a curmudgeon, but I HATED the throwback broadcast. And I say that as someone who watched many of the big NBA on NBC moments back in the day.

Costas, et. al. were so caught up in nostalgia they weren't paying attention to the game or keeping viewers informed about what was going on

Thanks for your help with that one, Prof. Mann!

Q&A: Jesse Jackson is pleased with progress on diversity, but pushing for more Q&A: Jesse Jackson is pleased with progress on diversity, but pushing for more

A little more than 10 years ago, while a reporter for the @mercurynews.com, I interviewed the Rev. Jesse Jackson about his effort to push Silicon Valley to embrace diversity. At the time, he was hopeful about the tech industry being receptive to his message. And it was — until the backlash.

Great obit. So sad to hear he died.

That 1979 Washington series was truly heartbreaking.

How Sarah Lacy went from founder to bookseller Ex-tech reporter recently opened store in Union Square.

@sarahlacy.com has been a high-profile tech journalist covering Silicon Valley's venture and startup scene and a startup founder herself. For her latest act, she's taken on something slightly different — operating @bestbookstore.bsky.social — but she still has plenty of ambition.

An implicit axiom of journalism is don’t fool the reader. Be upfront and transparent.

Whatever the story’s merits, the readers note fails in two ways. One, it’s at the end of the piece, so many readers likely won’t see jt. And two, it doesn’t unambiguously explain that this is a work of fiction. It should be at the top and very clearly state that this is *not* an actual account.

Narrator: He was.

All that said, the Spurs could really use another knock-down shooter. Not sure if they'll be able to find one in the buyout market or waiver wire, but if Jeremy's departure allows them to sign one, the Spurs will, unfortunately for Jeremy, be in better shape.

And he never got enough reps this year to show that his work over the summer on his three-point shot had paid off and to build confidence in it.

I understand the reasoning behind the Sochan point-guard experiment — with him there the Spurs had a potentially stifling defense — but the failure of that and his diminishing time on the court after really seemed to get into his head. He became frustratingly tentative around the basket on offense.

I'm sad to see him go. I always enjoyed watching Jeremy and envisioned him becoming like a modern-day Rodman (his vivid hairstyles made that easy).

I can't help but think, though, that the Spurs and Pop sabotaged his development and confidence by making him play point in his second year.

Billionaire tax author says fears about it unfounded Few of the ultra-wealthy are likely to leave, he says.

One of the main arguments voiced by opponents of the proposed billionaire tax here in California is that it will drive the ultra-wealthy to leave the state. That fear, says initiative co-author @bdgesq.bsky.social, is overblown. In an interview with the @sfexaminer.bsky.social Galle explained why.
