Is there a reason S/MIME and OpenPGP do not coexist?
For example, one provider and client like proton mail only uses OpenPGP and apple mail client only supports s/mime. Why is that? Why can we not have Proton mail support both, end of the story. Ain’t it?

I wonder if it still needs account management on Mozilla server or on your own. May I?


I’m sad too. But I think it’s quite logical given people that use Mastodon probably already know or heard of proton. Marketing is particularly effective for people that don’t know of them (at least while they are small)


Asking online stores to stop sending receipts via email.
This post is not really about questions I have. I just feel like I need to write this somewhere to express my concern. First of all, online stores have become a huge part of our society and I admit I heavily rely on that. That alone could be privacy issue but I’d ignore that for the sake of not missing the point of this post. The problem is rather in the way these online stores send out their receipts. You might already know that emails are by default not client side encrypted. That means your email server admin (Google if you use Gmail, Apple if you use iCloud mail. And Proton if you use Protonmail. Yes Proton claims it stays encrypted as soon as the emails arrive to their server but who can really vouch this? It’s behind the curtain anyway. ) has access to your receipts including of the past. Now email has been around for a really long time. And the client side encryption part has been worked in a lot of forms such as S/MIME. But none of the online services really implement it even though they contain critically personally identifiable info such as items I bought along with my name & address. And the thing is even though these online sellers acknowledge this privacy risk, they don’t have options to not email us receipts. For example, Amazon has a dedicated page on their site where I can see the list of everything I bought. That’s literally enough for me. They can stop sending me the receipts in the worst possible way! At least they could provide us with better way (even WhatsApp will do) yet they don’t. This is a severe privacy issue. I can’t help feeling, with all the sophisticated technology we have at hand, that we deserve better.

Yeah. My point being in terms of AI use, there aren’t really differences between lemmy and Reddit since the data is public. I don’t even see the point why this topic is relevant to privacy.


I wonder what’s different on lemmy though. At the end of the day, this platform is just another platform on the internet which almost anybody have access to. Sure AI use is not on the ToS. But anything open access is assumed to be privacy unfriendly anyway. If it’s the dm feature, it’s a different story.


Yup! The screenshot can be confiding because I tinker a lot with cpu, memory, pcie etc. I made it work with gpu pass through etc. so it was hard for me to capture exact setup in a single screenshot. in fact, games that don’t require proton runs very well like Celeste.


Has anybody successfully linux-gamed on proxmox VE?
I'm extensively looking to setting up gaming on linux inside a VM on proxmox VE. But nothing i've tried worked. I'm trying out bunch of games through Steam and its proton compatibility layer. Games I tried: * Sekiro * Elden Ring * Dark Souls 3 I've tried: * Manjaro KDE * Bazzite on VM: ![](https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/0486a76f-88cb-4991-88a3-37fdc0b5acdd.png) I was successfully install Windows 10 inside a VM and run games on there. By following [this reddit post](https://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/comments/b5xpua/the_ultimate_beginners_guide_to_gpu_passthrough/) But on any linux VM attempts, games can go 'starting' but back to 'launch' in a few seconds. It just fails... I just want to know if anybody has ever successfully done this:D

Thanks a bunch! I’ve put my stuff together on my arch based distro (basically dropping files inside the game directory and setting game launch option. ) but i wanted to know if the same goes for immutable systems like bazzite


Hello. I’m intrigued! Is modding games possible on Bazzite in general? I like playing Sekiro with Resurrection mod.
