Why must addons be created for free software instead of merging it in? for firefox seems good but for lm I don’t see the need, why was LES not just added to master?

I rarely use closed source software. My exceptions are

• Windows
  • Because I need to run
    • Photoshop
• DuckDuckGo (actually good FOSS search engine when?)
• Vivaldi

Vivaldi just works so wonderful. Once you use it you can’t go back (Check out the in browser mail client). I really wish they were FOSS though.

brave is also run by a homopobic alt right ass so…

please note: I do not support coil

This is amazing!

Mastodon suffers from similar annoyances. I feel like this system could be improved, it’s pretty confusing for beginners. I support frontends rewriting links, I suppose (though I suppose there is the tricky issue of deciding what links point to the fedi. Maybe “!cats@midwest.social” should not be a link…)

Theoretically yes. I remember when mastodon.social went down and I didn’t notice a thing… Well aside from the constant “guys guys guys mastodon.social is down so exciting” :)

Yes. The docs aren’t what I wish they were, but it’s here https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/contributors/04-api.html, and there already are client libraries for multiple languages
