    Quick question? Since Firefox is open source couldn't you in theory modify where the password manager is going. Syncing your passwords from the browser to your local server. Idk, I just thought of that and know that that'll never work or it may be too much work when there's an alternative for that anyways. Just something I thought of from what you were saying about "if Mozilla may kill their servers" which they will imo.

    I remember playing this modpack a while back in 2019/2020 where its filled with really fun and weird mods. Spite it being called "Lucky Block", there wasn't any lucky blocks in it, but I still enjoyed it nonetheless. The mod in question is the Crafting Table Icon you see on the right side of the screenshot. I'm not sure where to look, and I did attempt searching [curseforge.com](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/search?page=1&pageSize=20&sortBy=relevancy&class=modpacks&search=ForgeUser19520519), nothing, even searching the user ***ForgeUser19520519*** I couldn't find anything.

    I was wondering if there was any way I could grab all of the content creator's channel (that I watch) rss feed from YouTube and make it into one html file to host it on my github pages. I can then go to my rss reader, I use YouTube music and AntennaPod. YouTube music for my iPhone and AntennaPod on android as a backup. Just wondering if this was possible, but also, I remember seeing a reddit post (or stack overflow) not long ago, like a year ago. A user asked about this and youtube shut that down due to, and I'm taking a guess, its because of this may block ads preventing them from making profit.

    Let’s imagine a hypothetical scenario where an alien spaceship crash-lands at a specific spot where North Dakota and Saskatchewan meet. In this case, would the aliens face any legal consequences, such as fines or imprisonment, for illegally crossing the border? Given that this location is quite remote and sparsely populated, how do you think authorities from both the United States and Canada would handle such an unprecedented situation in terms of jurisdiction and border control? Just wondering because I do believe that there are other lives out there in this vast universe.

    Minecraft Seed Finder…

    So idk if any of you know of the Minecraft program’s, amidsts or MCA Selector. Two programs I absolutely enjoy using for my worlds, plus, their Free Open Source Software. Anyways, there my story… So I’ve been a Minecrafter since 2014, since the Xbox 360 days. I then switched to the Java edition of Minecraft in 2019 when I obtained my first pc on my 11th birthday. I made a server that I made for me and my friends / sister when they occasionally jump on and wanna play. In that server, we had an amazing time, building and creating memories. The seed is what’s most important here. ****> Main Point**** Is it possible for me to create program, preferably a GUI, that lets the user draw out the seed of what they remember. So similar to how you would draw things in krita, but more for a Minecraft top down world view. Amidst or MCA Selector POV. I’m not sure if it’s possible or if Minecraft will even allow such activity. Which I’m not sure why it wouldn’t. _Using the MC Seed API if they have such thing??_ It’s just when your in a seed for more then 2 years, you get attached and just love the terrain it has. Idk man, I just spent forever in that world seed, built amazing stuff. Regardless if I used commands, cheats etc, I just wanna find the seed again using this technique that I hope it’s possible.

But I was wondering if anyone knew of what this meant, or if this is actually "Malware". I know whenever I delete a program, using ``dnf remove program-name``, and remove the following folder in local/apps or.config, and this will delete it to save some space. As I'm not using said program for now. I have never seen this before, and was wondering if anyone would care to help me describe this for me. My best guess is part of Wireshark, as I remember installing it once, but who knows, maybe It's something I shouldn't have. I know what I'm sort of doing on Linux, and if this is network related, I probably don't care.

I was wondering if it’s worth saving up to develop an iOS app. (The same app on Android, but for iOS) I know that the AppStore can be a good revenue spot for my app, not sure. My app will be free + Open Source Software, GPL (Version 3) of which I plan to add my own premium features or either a donation option for the privacy advocate folks. I’ve had an iPhone 12 since 2021, and I’ve gotten used to our iOS works, how the system works in terms of iOS background and process’s. One question; > can I use GPL (version 3) for my iOS app on the AppStore? I’m just want your thoughts if I should… Thanks!

    I also remember using a video editor that was once integrated into the old photos app on 10, which I used everyday until Microsoft carried more focused on clipchamp or whatever it’s called.

    I feel like with the data collection part is stupid. If you don’t want your data to be collected, don’t post publicly.

    I was just wondering why my instance in particular chooses to block threads and instead let us choose to do so. I find it relates to big tech as, it’s there servers yeah, but running Free Open Source Software on top of that. Idk lol. Sorry if this posts seems weird.

    Why do Instances Block? https://i.imgur.com/az564Wm.png

    So I want to make this post because I don't know why instances, mine specifically, choose to block others. Now, don't get me wrong that blocking instances that are CP related and anything illegal is something that should and needs to be blocked and/or removed. but if its something like Threads, let **me** choose to block a user myself, give me the freedom to do so. I've seen Brodie Robertson's [video](https://odysee.com/@BrodieRobertson:5/threads-is-going-to-destroy-the:8?r=UvSKyv4eJqiCmhmQBWuDfaRdPo1aj8zx&t=712) talking about this, and I whole heartily agree with his stance on this where letting the user have the freedom to block a user or instance themselves. --- I just feel that some lemmy instances are turning into big tech companies where they are controlling everything, and don't get me wrong, its their server space, do what you want to do, but at least since you are using foss to run your lemmy server, at least be different then Reddit or YouTube etc. I created a lemmy account just to have a more private experience from Reddit without being tracked all the time. guess I was wrong. --- not trying to get on the wrong foot here, I am just a fan of internet freedom, and I think you should have the right to do anything you want online, that's within legal waters. Thoughts...

    Listen, it’s a screenshot from when I was using windows back in 2020. It’s from Facebook messenger, I just didn’t feel like downloading and uploading when Lemmy has a url link I can drop here. Sorry, I get why you hate Facebook, me too. I just find it convenient to use the link feature. Again, privacy badger is a useful add on I use that helps blocks Facebook and X (Twitter) widgets.

    Xbox Game Bar for Linux?

    I was a windows user back in 2019 - 2020, and moved over to Linux in 2021. I honestly forgot how i found Linux, and when I was using Windows, I remember using this feature "Game Bar", which I used to make game clips on my PC. Although, when I got my NVIDIA Card the Game Bar Stopped working because of the HDMI cord that modern GPU's use. The Real Question, is there a program that replicates the Xbox Game bar? I really like the functionality that the game bar provides, and would like to start using it again, but on Linux. I was hoping if anyone knew of such program, or if you know the steps for me to build it myself. I found this [Repository](https://github.com/KPRCB/XboxGameBarExample.git) where someone made a clone, although it's for Windows, and not what I expected.

    MacOS Accessibility Cursor

    So I like this MacOS feature where your cursor displays in large. I was hoping if anyone knew of such software that replicates this functionality for Linux. Considering MacOS and Linux are both Unix, and libraries are different, could X or Wayland help replicate this? > [Source](https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/312821/what-causes-a-random-giant-mouse-cursor)

    How do I build a map for my video game?

    Hi Game Devs! I am currently developing my Open World Video Game in the Godot Engine, and the only thing I need is a world. I got done most of the game, (character models still need work, but I can get that done once I figure out this world problem I have) I'm just not sure what to do in making the world. I know I could use Blender, and yeah that does sound like a valuable option and it could work, but I also found RenderDocs, which I saw a video on where you ~~used a chrome shortcut and RenderDocs captures that shortcut and grabs 3D~~, I actually have no idea how RenderDocs works, but I know I could use it too grab 3D locations using Google Maps. But I couldn't figure that out. I just can't edit the map afterwards if I choose this option. I'm also not saying that I want too make a massive world, especially like Fortnite or Grand Theft Auto V, I just want a simple but small sized world, but not too small if you know what I mean. I'm aiming for a map like [this](https://imgs.search.brave.com/WsToa7QrmFSb5u3cnZeLdOegprSfnrpWjIUpVdwVXxc/rs:fit:860:0:0/g:ce/aHR0cHM6Ly9uZXdi/aWVrZW5vYmkuZmls/ZXMud29yZHByZXNz/LmNvbS8yMDE3LzA1/L2xlZ28tbWFydmVs/X3N1cGVyX2hlcm9l/c19pbXBvcnRhbnRf/bG9jYXRpb25zX21h/cC5qcGc_dz05MDA). (I'm not making a lego game, I'd thought I mention this here.) I then remembered Unity was another option, but I don't feel like using it because of the whole debacle that happened with the engine. I also don't know if It's easy to import it to Godot. The last resort I can think of is using Godot to make it, and I did also find a video where someone made a map in Godot, like a very simple world. Options: Godot? Unity? RenderDocs? Blender? I'm just not sure what is the best choice.

    How does a map work? mastodon.social

    Does anyone know how a map works, specially a woodland map? I’ve been playing the game for years, since 2013, and even from taking a long break for 4 years. I kind of forgot how maps work lol. I think I get it though. As the image I’ve added, do I head north west? Or is it south east as maps are opposite. I know I could travel through nether, it I like walking in the over world. Just a preference. But yeah, I’ve kind of forgot how maps work, but I’m not sure if it’s south I’m going or north.

    Pantheon

    So I've been customizing my system for a few days now to look more like a mac-book, and I've found this program called "plank", which is supposed to be a mac-like dock for Linux. However, it doesn't operate or function correctly, as I use fedora KDE Spin. I was trying to install Pantheon, but I don't think its supported anymore, or at least the package does not exist. ```bash No match for argument: pantheon desktop Error: Unable to find a match: pantheon desktop ``` I would love to know if anyone has any ideas to make my system look like MacOS, without a massive headache.
