@cabel Have y’all thought about enabling Prompt for visionOS? Most iPad apps run just fine!
@schwa @Migueldeicaza thanks for the Japan trips, especially for the Keio Plaza. We just got back and had a great time.

California residents: for the first time in a long time, your vote this November matters nationally.

Prop 50 counters the illegitimate Republican gerrymander of Texas, restoring the impact of your vote on congress. It's temporary, expiring in 2030.

There are good people against it, but they're misguided. Taking the high road here just helps those who oppose democracy keep control of our government.

Please vote yes on 50, and encourage your friends to do the same.

Yes on 50 – The Election Rigging Response Act

Trump and Texas Republicans are moving to rig the 2026 election — and other GOP states are joining in. If Californians don’t act now, they could seize Congress no matter how we vote.

If you're not familiar with Smalltalk, you might want to play around with Pharo, a modern descendant:

"Pharo is a pure object-oriented programming language and a powerful environment, focused on simplicity and immediate feedback (think IDE and OS rolled into one)."

Pharo was forked from Squeak Smalltalk, which started out as a Smalltalk-80 implementation for the Mac Plus.

@schwa I’m planning a trip to Japan (6ish days??) and am consulting experts! Do you have recommendations for a couple of cities for a first trip to Japan?
I talked to Apple execs about the company’s surprisingly meaty Vision Pro software update. It’s interesting even if you aren’t about to plunk down $3,500 for a spatial computing headset! https://www.fastcompany.com/91352884/apple-vision-pro-visionos-26
VisionOS 26 proves Apple isn’t treating the Vision Pro like a hobby

Two years after its unveiling, the headset still hasn’t gone mass market. But it’s getting better in ways that point to a broader future for spatial computing.

For #WWDC25 we are introducing online group labs: Q&A with Apple designers and engineers.

It'll be great, hope to see everyone there! 🙋

This is the most helpfully packaged box of screws I've ever seen, by a large margin. I just wanted to take a moment to appreciate whomever was responsible for such a triumph of utility and empathy.
