Continue to upgrade to the latest macOS on your host system, use something that leverages Apple's Virtualized.framework to run any version of macOS you want.

For instance, consider https://tart.run/

All the Android / iOS devs on my team use Tart locally when we need to test mixed environments.

Then we use Tart's sister Cirrus CLI to run our builds on our server.

For years, my team uses the third-party tool `xcodes`... `brew install xcodes` or use the [GUI](https://www.xcodes.app/).

It allows you to easily install and maintain several versions of Xcode (beta / RC versions).

And, more importantly, uses aria2 for HTTP download, which has resumability.

Seems this is the product JetBrains mentioned in their sun-setting announcement of the short-lived CodeCanvas product.

Kotlin ecosystem extends way beyond the Java runtime. I have apps developed in Kotlin running in browsers and iOS, in addition to Android.

What's wrong with Cirrus CLI and Tart built on Apple's Virtualization.framework?

I tend to copy Markdown content from other sources into Apple Notes. Being able to paste into Notes and have it format in the view is a big win.

It is possible reporting is getting this wrong and the Markdown feature and it is just to serve use case above. As an example, Google Docs recently enabled "Paste from Markdown" that also is a huge convenience.

JetBrains already announced it is no longer targeting Fleet as its iOS strategy for Kotlin Multiplatform. Instead it will be realizing its strategy through IntelliJ IDEA and Android Studio.

I'm sure Apple still pays patent licensing fees to Qualcomm even if Apple is now manufacturing their own modem.

I agree at the time it wasn’t a mistake. It allowed for vast adoption with Slack needing to implement the complexities of a single login accessing (for me) about a dozen workspaces.

But from a revenue perspective in 2023, it is a mistake. Of your list, which of work, vendor, and personal likely is a paid account? I’d argue in 2023 they only care about work and vendor and that is what they are optimizing their experience for at present. Now that adoption has saturated and the curve has flattened, the strategy of personal or even open source workspaces has served its purpose.

In short, now that they’ve got their hooks in, I’m sure they’d be happy for the personal workspaces go elsewhere, leaving just the paying professional context, and single login login, interacting with vendor/partner contexts.

Slack seems to be walking back their mistake 10 years ago of requiring independent logins for each workspace.

In slacks new product vision, you don’t sign into multiple workspaces, you sign into your “home” workspace and get invited via Slack Connect to other workspaces.

This seems to be reinforced by collapsing the workspace picker and making unreads in other workspaces less obvious.
