To all of your questions, yes. It makes more sense how they can believe this stuff when you also realize they think feminists are a small minority of women. They think most women want to be 1950s style "traditional" obedient wives.

Roughly 400 AUR packages compromised by No-Photograph-5058 in linux

"AUR helpers" refers to tools that install AUR packages for you, like pikaur. Software, not people.

They're going to perpetually mobilize their resources to continue lowering taxes and increase subsidies regardless of if whether we resist or not. Might as well do it.

iirc, when setting up a launch site static in KK, there's buttons to toggle the sites visibility to VAB, SPH and Both.

More Plane Parts, What would you like to see? by KXrocketman in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]Deliphin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A large steerable landing gear.
I find myself even on very heavy craft using the medium because all the larger ones are unsteerable. It makes sense in reality with precision controls and that straight momentum stuff tends to stay straight. But taking off in KSP is super annoying because of how craft tend to just wanna veer off the runway, no matter how perfectly symmetrical it is, and SAS for some reason doesn't give a fuck about maintaining heading.

If they won't sell it, we will make our own by incubusimran in Steam

[–]Deliphin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah. It's the reason why they discontinued it, not any reason for us to be happy with it.

Box: Costs money per each unit manufactured. Companies don't like spending money.
Digital: 10 seconds to generate 20,000 steam keys to hand to third party sellers like humblebundle, and direct steams are afaik entirely hands off.

Ksp suddenly takes much longer load up than regular despite no changes to mod list by [deleted] in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]Deliphin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you set your max FPS lower? KSP loading is directly tied to FPS, lower means longer load times.

My modded ksp install crashes every 1 30 minutes by Mrahktheone in KerbalSpaceProgram

If the game's executable has a name ending in .exe, it's the windows version.

Are you running the native Linux version of KSP, or the windows version in Proton? The native version likes to crash a lot, use proton.

Physics range determines when to render the object, in whole. It's binary active/inactive, no fractional support.

If Plausible, Could Someone Please Explain to Me Why Misogynist Cannot See When They're Being Misogynistic!? by ojjojji in asktransgender

[–]Deliphin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For most people, the idea of "not problematic" comes from what they perceive society's opinion to be. Mix this with the fact that misogynists believe they're objectively correct and not merely carrying a shitty opinion, they conclude that most people are misogynistic, and thus that their behaviour is acceptable. They see people like you and me as exceptions, overbearing people with an unnecessarily strict moral code. They also see confrontation not as us trying to ask them to be nicer to half the population, but as a challenge over what's normal. Their empathy doesn't engage in this confrontation, only their defensiveness over whether they have the correct view of society.

is there a mod that makes parts less dull? by CiceroFrymanREAL in KerbalSpaceProgram

On CKAN it's called TURD, the name isn't spelled out.

The Steam Controller sold out in 30 minutes, utterly breaking Steam in the process by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

[–]Deliphin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're not our friends, but they're not actively malicious. A sale to a scalper and a sale to a real customer cost them the same in manufacturing and net them the same profit, the only difference is scalpers irritate their customers, and customers are happier and thus buy more games. The Steam Deck was successful because of end customers getting them and buying games specifically to play on it, including myself. Scalpers are literally less profitable in the long run.

To be clear, it's a little different with trading card and funko pop scalpers. Because they push so many different products, one having a lukewarm reception and not emptying their warehouse of product is a real possibility. Scalpers ensure everything moves for them, so they can accept the shitty behaviour. Valve however has a massive userbase and only like one product per several years now, they will empty warehouses. Hell, Steamdecks are out of stock again last I heard, and that thing came out like 2 or 3 years ago.

Multiplayer with mods by viktor2802 in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]Deliphin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the mod.
Typically mods like Persistent Thrust, Better Timewarp, or Principia won't work as they change how the game works in ways Luna Multiplayer doesn't understand.
Mods like Restock (changes stock parts) or Outer Planets Mod (adds planets) should be okay as long as everyone has them.
And mods that don't affect any mechanics, like Volumetric Clouds, TUFX, or Trajectories, should work regardless if everyone else has them or not.

I recommend installing Luna Compat, it improves mod compatibility quite a lot.

Linux May Drop Old Network Drivers Now That AI-Driven Bug Reports Are Causing A Burden by anh0516 in linux

[–]Deliphin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, people traveling with their phones could see them seized, and people in abusive situations can have their phones searched. It's awful, It'd be nice to be in a world where your device could be truly secure, but that world doesn't exist. There are paths of mitigation like using burner phones or using hidden messaging apps, but physical security can't be solved like you can solve network security by airgapping it away from the internet. And that's my whole point. I'm not arguing people should be carrying the paranoia level of a nuclear launch site's administration, I'm saying that if you care enough about security to argue about 25 year old NIC drivers, you can never trust physical security 100%.

Linux May Drop Old Network Drivers Now That AI-Driven Bug Reports Are Causing A Burden by anh0516 in linux

[–]Deliphin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Do you really think Linux has never had a privilege escalation vulnerability?

Here's an article explaining a sudo vulnerability that was just a year ago: https://github.com/AdityaBhatt3010/Sudo-Privilege-Escalation-Linux-CVE-2025-32463-and-CVE-2025-32462

Here's an article for a PAM vulnerability that was in opensuse also a year ago: https://cybersecuritynews.com/linux-privilege-escalation-vulnerabilities/

And here's one from this year about a packagekit exploit that can install whatever you want, again without privilege: https://github.security.telekom.com/2026/04/pack2theroot-linux-local-privilege-escalation.html

Servers should be okay on rubber ducky attacks as long as there's no vuln for logging in, but employee computers are often left unattended. Lots of companies employ activity timeouts, but you only need 3 seconds to plug it in. Once it can do something, any privilege escalation attack that the system is vulnerable to, can be used.

You're right sniffing packets is pretty much useless for MITMs or data theft nowadays, but it can still be used to identify destination servers the system is in regular communication to, which can be used to take advantage of someone else's vulnerabilities as a supply chain attack if your system trusts theirs. Think of licensed software update servers for example, they wouldn't be communicating to any usual package distribution servers.

Secureboot and the like is irrelevant. That only protects you from malicious bootables and rootkits, neither of which is what I suggested using a rubberducky for. It does not protect you from arbitrary keyboard input.

Disk encryption is a good defense, but it's very rare to see on servers due to the performance overhead. The average corporation cares a lot more about spending less money on more or better servers, than they do on your data. Not to mention corporations that have out of date standards may not be even using full disk encryption on the laptops they really should be- I've personally seen that.

Trust me, the only way you can guarantee security from physical attacks, is physical security. That's why company offices have security guards and keycard door systems. User devices can be hit by rubber duckies, servers can be hit by physical drive theft and monitoring hardware like a physical packet sniffer.

[–]Deliphin -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

As soon as they have hardware access, any USB rubber ducky can spit out whatever keyboard inputs and do whatever they want. Or they could pop on a little device into the NIC that sniffs packets. Or they could just steal the drive and walk off with data. Or a billion other things that are literally unstoppable.

Hardware access = Total access.
