@glyph Most recently was because Apple Pay stopped working in Firefox on macOS (after working fine for a couple years), along with being tempted by some nifty-looking Safari extensions that—because iOS jail—would actually work on both the desktop and the phone browser, while my Firefox extensions only work on the desktop.

In the background, I've had growing concerns about Mozilla Foundation being stupid, doing/saying shitty things around crypto/ai/etc, along with repeated rollout of features I absolutely do not want in my browser, that were enabled by default, or the concern that Mozilla itself might be turning into enablers of various sorts and me losing trust in the foundation to follow its mission. Their most recent CEO announcement is adding an awful lot to that feeling.

@glyph I tried switching to Safari and made it about two months before I got angry and came back to Firefox, simply because the Firefox feature set is too damn good: tab containers for sandboxing certain domains, tab sending (push and pull) between multiple devices, and proper ad block extensions and privacy features.

Every time they make me angry with their ai nonsense I just remember that no other browser gets even one of those right, let alone all three.

@glyph just wait until they ship the ones with screens in them

@glyph just in case you haven't heard, they announced a new CEO who has no history in OSS and is AI/fintech brainwormed.

@glyph of course, and we’re the first ones to say that ty isn’t ready for full time use, we were already behind on getting a beta out. I do think the ty team expects to fill in most of the gaps from mypy plugins before calling it a stable release, though tbh I wouldn’t be surprised if Zope isn’t high on the priority list 😅

That said, for my personal projects I still rely on pyright/pylance for my LSP in VScodium, though I still depend on running mypy in my ‘make test’ runs to catch things I didn’t notice in the editor.

@neurobashing @glyph FWIW Ruff has mostly been waiting for ty to handle multi-file type-aware lint rules. We plan to integrate those bits of ty back into Ruff at some point in this coming year.
