3 Russian Mi-8 helicopters, radar station destroyed in occupied Crimea, Ukraine’s HUR says. “The Russian invaders’ air fleet in the temporarily occupied Crimea has been reduced again as a result of successful combat operations,” Ukraine’s military intelligence (HUR) said.
Ukrainian drones strike resort in occupied Crimea near Russian state dachas, Kremlin proxy says. A source reportedly told the Crimean Wind Telegram channel that “very important guests” were staying at the Foros resort at the time of the attack. The Kyiv Independent could not verify these claims.
Ukraine destroys Russian ‘terminator on tracks’ engineering vehicle in rare strike, military says. The rare strike marks only the third visually confirmed destruction of such a vehicle since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion.
Ukraine has a massive new sea drone, could threaten Russia’s Crimean Bridge. Although the platform had been known for about a year, it was only now publicly displayed.

Ukraine to begin exporting naval drones, other weapons, Zelensky says. Kyiv has drawn up proposals for a “controlled export” of Ukrainian weapons, particularly sea drones, President Volodymyr Zelensky said in his evening address on Sept. 21.
Russia’s ‘good-for-nothing’ general reportedly dismissed after Ukraine blunders. Russian Colonel General Alexander Lapin has been associated with battlefield setbacks since 2022.
More than 15,000 mobilized Russian soldiers killed in Ukraine identified by media investigation. The analysis shows that 42% of these deaths occurred within the first year after President Vladimir Putin announced Russia’s month-long “partial mobilization” in September 2022.

International response
NATO was ready to ‘use force’ against Russia, Estonia says after airspace incursion. “We saw on Friday that NATO is functioning very efficiently… even to the point that if we were truly forced to use the last resort, which is the use of force, then there was a readiness for that as well,” Estonian Defense Minister Hanno Pevkur said.
NATO jets intercept Russian spy plane over Baltic Sea, Germany says. The aircraft, an Il-20M, departed from Russia and entered international airspace without establishing communication, making visual identification the only way to confirm its presence.

Tragedy, unity, and defiance in Kyiv
“Cultural and social revival is strong in wartime Ukraine as an act of resistance against Russian efforts at erasure. Ukrainians are proudly, defiantly celebrating their own cultural diversity and history, including their own path of truth and reconciliation on the more challenging episodes of their national story,” Canadian Ambassador to Ukraine Natalka Cmoc writes.

As an answer to most european state's recent recognition of Palestine : gov.il/en/pages/spoke-pm210925
There will be no Palestinian state. The response to the latest attempt to force upon us a terror state in the heart of our land will be given after my return from the United States
I have a clear message to those leaders who are recognizing a Palestinian state after the horrendous October 7 massacre: You are rewarding terror with an enormous prize.
And I have another message for you : it's not going to happen. There will be no Palestinian state to the west of the Jordan River.
For years I have prevented the creation of that terror state, against tremendous pressure, both domestic and from abroad.
We have done this with determination, and with astute statesmanship. Moreover, we have doubled the Jewish settlement in Judea and Samaria, and we will continue on this path.
The response to the latest attempt to force upon us a terror state in the heart of our land will be given after my return from the United States. Stand by.
Just in case it wasn’t clear enough. May he change his mind one day.
"From the river to the sea" only being a hate crime when it's directed at israelis.
In case some people here would be sensible to the argument of allowing a "terror state" inside your borders, the french president and others explicitly mentioned a demilitarized Palestine, implying that such state would chase down any palestinian aiming to take revenge against Israel, and continue to collaborate with Israel in doing so.
It's assumed that the support of anti-zionist states like Iran will also progressively fade with the decades if palestinians are happy. It'd only be a tiny bit of diversity in the Middle-East, their refusal would be understandable though since it's a clear unilateral loss(, also a symbolic loss if you interpret it in a weird way, like thinking that islam's victory isn't complete as long as christians and jews haven't converted), even if i hope that they'll eventually change their mind as well. No doubt that jewish states could be friends with muslims states and complement/teach each other(, e.g., jewish traditions guard against literalism, christian literalism insist on miracles, while muslim literalism insist on decontextualization, since the most glorious Prophet had to restrict the laws because of humanity's imperfections that wouldn't have accepted the final form, such as the total abolition of slavery for non-muslims as well, or some events where the law changed because they were asking too much from followers, such as drinking in moderation or temporarily staying aways from their wives, the spirit of the law may also sometimes seem too uncertain to seek so the letter is put forward, kinda thinking that the Quran would have been the exact same if it was revealed in 2025, the Best doesn't move). Museums/'Historical theme parks' aren't useless, Israel could be one.

[Solved] Seeking help with Fedora 42 KDE DNS resolution issues regarding reverse proxy on local network
Hello Everyone,
As the title says, I am having issues reaching my internally hosted resources via reverse proxy on my Fedora KDE install. I found little info about this, and I am wondering if I am on a wild goose chase.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, and sorry for the wall of text in advance!
Here's the anonymized setup:
192.168.1.10 is the docker host with web services on different ports
192.168.1.20 is the server that acts as a reverse proxy via caddy2, so I can use app.domain.example instead of ip:port and it handles certs from let's encrypt via DNS challenge. No ports are open to the internet. I VPN in when remote access is needed.
192.168.1.30 is the Pihole set up as the DHCP assigned local DNS. It has local DNS entries:
A record for caddy.domain.example mapped to 192.168.1.20
CNAME record for app.domain.example mapped to caddy.domain.example
This works perfectly fine on other devices and distros, windows, android etc.
On Fedora KDE live images 42 and 43 beta, and the installed OSs have this problem (currently have 42 installed so this is not a beta thing) Access works via IP:Port. It looks like it just doesn't want to take the reverse proxy route.
If I do an nslookup from the fedora device, it reaches pihole, and can resolve app.domain.example to caddy.domain.example, then that to 192.168.1.20.
nslookup app.domain.example
Server: 127.0.0.53
Address: 127.0.0.53#53
Non-authoritative answer:
app.domain.example canonical name = caddy.domain.exampe
Name: caddy.domain.example
Address: 192.168.1.20
caddy.domain.example canonical name = 192.168.1.20.resolvectl link 3 is the relevant one.
resolvectl
Global
Protocols: LLMNR=resolve -mDNS -DNSOverTLS DNSSEC=no/unsupported
resolv.conf mode: stub
Link 2 (enp3s0f0)
Current Scopes: none
Protocols: -DefaultRoute LLMNR=resolve -mDNS -DNSOverTLS DNSSEC=no/unsupported
Default Route: no
Link 3 (wlp1s0)
Current Scopes: DNS LLMNR/IPv4 LLMNR/IPv6
Protocols: +DefaultRoute LLMNR=resolve -mDNS -DNSOverTLS DNSSEC=no/unsupported
Current DNS Server: 192.168.1.30
DNS Servers: 192.168.1.30
DNS Domain: domain.local
Default Route: yesI can see it's using the stub resolver which I found some docs about but I am unsure what to change at this stage.
If I run traceroute for app.domain.example i get "No address associated with hostname"
I guess this is because here isn't any public records for this subdomain, only the wildcard pointing to my local Caddy IP for the certs.
Thanks for reading!
What happens if you add a local record to your local hosts file?
Also, are you using domain.local and not an actual custom domain?
I have a domain registered that I use, just didn't feel the need to mention it exactly. Hence why I anonymized my results. I did not change anything that would alter the troubleshooting steps, only the domain name and ip addresses are generic but otherwise consistent.
The domain and records are set up correctly on the provider end because I receive valid let's encrypt certs for my subdomains through caddy. The issue is only with Fedora. I checked a live of ubuntu and fedora iso on a second computer. Fedora consistently cannot resolve the domains on the default configuration while ubuntu and anything else I tried can.
I just tried adding the local IP:Port and the app.domain.example to the /etc/hosts file as the examples show. Restarted systemd-resolved but no dice. Ideally, I'd like to make this family friendly and avoid having to make client specific configurations anyway. So far only I run fedora at home, so my device has this issue only. I am partial to the OS otherwise, so I was hoping I could solve this.
EDIT
Sorry about that it dawned on my what you asked for really.
From the resolvedctl results DNS Domain: domain.local would be mydomainname.local. Yes I kept .local in the search domain fields for most of my things. Is this something that matters, or could this be a workaround if I changed it to my actual mydomainname.tld?
As far as I undertand this would work if mDNS was on. Not sure if LLMNR makes use of it the same way.
Solved by reading the docs, sort of...
By following the instructions to opt out of using systemd-resolved completely, it works.
fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes…
This meant creating this simlink
sudo ln -sfv /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf
and creating this config file with the contents
sudo bash -c 'mkdir -p /etc/systemd/system-preset && echo "disable systemd-resolved.service" >/etc/systemd/system-preset/20-systemd-resolved-disable.preset'
But this wasn't enough. I had to stop the systemd-resolved.service as for some reason it did still start after a reboot, so I ran the following commands:
sudo systemctl disable systemd-resolved andsudo systemctl stop systemd-resolved
Now I am able to go through the caddy reverse proxy on my LAN.

Apple as a future Graphene OEM?
Is Memory Tagging Extension (MTE) and/or Memory Integrity Encforcement (MIE) one of the requisite features for GrapheneOS?
The recent moves from Google that look like Android will become more of a "closed garden", and it might affect the furure of privacy ROMs.
I'm not sure if thats the same reason for this, but GrapheneOS have stated that they are working on a phone from another Android OEM. I have no idea if apple's chips allow exclusively ios or linux-like os on the system, but how feasable is it that they might consider Apple (given if the inclusion of MIE & MTE makes iPhones more compatible with gOS) in the future?
Memory Integrity Enforcement Changes the Game on iOS
Apple's new support for ARM's Memory Tagging Extension in iOS and their A19 SoC is an underrated feature for journalists, activists, and other high-profile figures.Jonah Aragon (Privacy Guides)
@xyhhx We're working on GrapheneOS support for future generations of a subset of the device models provided by a major Android OEM. Their current devices don't provide the updates and security features we need, but they're capable of doing it. We're working with them towards providing this so we can support their devices. They may end up officially selling devices with GrapheneOS as an option but that's not the bare minimum and it can be successful even without initially having that.

On the one hand we have Ukraine as a warning example of what can happen to nations that give up their nuclear weapons.
On the other hand South Africa did the same and haven't been invaded.
Something something geography visavi aggressors.
I don't think NK would ever give up their nuclear arms. But maybe calls for democratization could be raised and leveraged against lessened sanctions?

You do you, but I think it's rarely worth it having the absolutely newest version of something. The Debian version of a package may be older, but often has the advantage of being well-tested. And the Debian version of ncdu is all I've ever used and it has worked well.
uniget, huh? That's not a package manager I've ever heard of before.

The Congressional Progressive Caucus over the weekend officially endorsed a bill that would block the sale of many offensive US weapons to Israel. This move coincides with growing outrage from US voters from across the political spectrum who say they have seen enough of American complicity with the genocidal humanitarian blockade and bombardment of the Gaza Strip.The Block the Bombs Act, first introduced in May by Rep. Delia C. Ramirez (D-Ill.) and now backed by 49 co-sponsors, calls for a prohibition on the sale of a variety of US weapons and a limitation on military services to the Israeli government, accused of committing a genocide in Gaza.
The vote by the caucus, which took place Saturday and was first reported by Zeteo, marks a historic shift—even for the most progressive group of lawmakers on Capitol Hill—that provides “a significant boost to efforts to hold Israel accountable for its genocidal war in Gaza.”

Baffled at PC freezing on Linux, but not on Windows for the same workload
This issue is a long time coming. I got a mini pc (Asrock Deskmini h110, i5-6400, 16gb) that I have used for a long time with Kubuntu/Kde Neon, and most of its life, it worked great. Some years ago, it started freezing, especially at Graphic intensive workload, so I thought some hardware issue and converted it into a NAS and it worked absolutely fine as well for a couple of years there too. Recently my wife needed a Windows PC to do some work, and since I had upgraded my NAS, I repurposed the same PC and installed Windows on it, and it worked absolutely fine for her too. Then I decided to check some Graphics intensive workload, like 3d benchmarking stuff, and it didn't freeze once. I was delighted, and thought maybe I didn't investigated the issue the first time, and the PC was fine all along. So I reinstalled Debian 13, and lo behold, the issue came back. I found out while I was using IKEA's 3d kitchen planner. So I replaced distros, and it froze on Ubuntu and CachyOS as well. I tried switching between Wayland and X11, switched browsers, but PC freezes seconds logging into IKEA's kitchen planner (as soon as 3d graphics are loaded). I reinstalled windows, and my wife has been designing a kitchen in IKEA's 3d kitchen planner for over an hour now, and it hasn't frozen once. What's going on? How do I even investigate this?
I have reinstalled Linux and had sudo dmesg -w running, but no logs are captured before it's frozen. I have reproduced the issue multiple times now on Linux, and not once it froze on Windows. I have also done memtests, and tried multiple disks both nvme and sata. Also have tried multiple browsers with apt and flatpaks. I really need Lemmy's collective intelligence to help me here.
Update: Well system stopped hanging with 'nomodeset' as boot parameter, confirming that it's Intel 915 driver. I tried variety of Intel related kernel parameters like psr, dc, guc, even messed with Intel cstate, but it hanged every time Intel 915 driver is even loaded. So ???
like this
I feel like it possible bug in i915 driver at least it sounds so from symptoms , try add to boot parameters
i915.enable_psr=0 i915.enable_rc6=0About log try enable debugfs
mount -t debugfs debugfs /sys/kernel/debug
Old laptop suddenly won't recognize Linux boot drive
I'm in a really weird situation, yesterday I installed Linux (Fedora Kinoite) on my mothers laptop (An old Asus F550C) and it worked perfectly fine. Great! Or so I thought.
We needed a few files from Windows 10, so I put that drive in, put the files on a USB stick, put the Linux drive back in and... Nothing? It recognizes the drive, but not the Linux boot option.
I put the drive in my pc and it works fine, the boot drive is also still detected in the laptop just fine.
What the hell could it be??
- The laptop is fine (Windows drive works perfectly)
- The drive is recognized in bios (But not the boot option)
- The drive works fine in my desktop and can boot to Fedora
- The laptop can boot to the USB drive I used to create the install
- Yesterday it worked just fine
- I went through the bios, but can't find any settings related to this (Secure boot did not fix it)
Update: the issue is solved! Windows somehow wiped the efiboot entry.
I mounted the drive from a live usb and ran
sudo efibootmgr --create --disk /dev/sda --part 1 --label "Fedora" --loader '\EFI\fedora\shimx64.efi'
After rebooting, the system works again!
I've dealt with something similar to this on a lenovo ideapad.
The BIOS picks up UEFI info from windows and messes up the boot config and order. I solved it by using grub2 rescue, booting to the correct Linux entry and using grub to update UEFI and write the config correctly again.
Super pain in the a**.
This ended up being the issue! Booted up a live USB, mounted the disk and ran
sudo efibootmgr --create --disk /dev/sda --part 1 --label "Fedora" --loader '\EFI\fedora\shimx64.efi'
After rebooting it worked again!

I was very excited for COSMIC but I have kind of moved on the Niri now. I am not sure it will lure me back.
That said, I have been using COSMIC Term and COSMIC Panel with Niri. So they still have their hooks in me.
Pre-Flight Check
This may seem like edging towards paranoia, however, how many of you do a pre-flight check of your network before you use your devices?
Every morning when I start up my computer, I do a pre-flight check against sites like DNSLeakCheck, and several others. It's a back check to make sure my network is operating in as private, secured, and an anonymous manner as possible, and perhaps give me a little more peace of mind.
To facilitate this in an expedient manner, I wrote a simple bat script to do just that.
@echo off
echo Opening websites in succession...
:: List of websites to open
set "websites=grc.com cloudflare.com/ssl/encrypted-sni browserleaks.com/dns dnscheck.tools ipleak.net"
:: Delay between opening each website (in seconds)
set "delay=5"
:: Loop through each website and open it
for %%i in (%websites%) do (
echo Opening %%i...
start "" "https://%%i"
timeout /t %delay% /nobreak >nul
)
echo All websites opened.

Well, I'm working on a python script that could be called with a cron. I'm also contemplating automating it with N8N since I selfhost it. However, tho I can code in basic terms in several languages, I am not the most competent coder, so it takes me a while. LOL
But again, I do appreciate your first comment and that you were concerned about my well being. I assure you I am a stable genius. lol Hey, it worked for one nut bag.....
Quality info on the aid situation in Gaza
Really great maps and info on how the aid stations are distributed and operate.
You hear that basically no aid is getting distributed, but the details of the aid stations being hours away and only open 20 minutes a day if at all really clarifies how performative and meaningless the "aid" is.
Israel attack on Yemeni newspaper was second deadliest on journalists ever recorded
Thirty one journalists and media staff were killed by Israeli strikes on newspaper offices in Yemen last week in what the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) said on Friday was the deadliest attack on journalists in the last 16 years.Israel struck a newspaper complex in Sana’a, Yemen’s capital, which housed three Houthi-connected media outlets on 10 September. At the time, members of the Yemeni army’s press arm were finishing the weekly print edition, according to the publication’s editor-in-chief, which increased the number of journalists present during the strike.
At least 35 people were killed in the attack, including one child who accompanied a journalist to the office, and 131 were wounded, according to the Houthi ministry of health. All of the journalists worked for either the Houthi-affiliated 26 September newspaper or Yemen newspaper.
The attack was the second-deadliest against journalists that the CPJ had ever recorded, after the Maguindanao massacre in the Philippines in 2009.

The problem with Bernie Sanders’s ‘it is genocide’ admission - The US senator recognises the genocide of the Palestinian people but ends up blaming them for it.
History will judge us for whether we could see genocide for what it is, without asterisks, without exceptions, without the comfortable lies that let the powerful sleep while children starve to death or get torn to pieces. If we fail to grasp this fundamental truth, we do not just fail Palestinians. We fail every occupied, colonised, and oppressed people who might one day be told their resistance justifies their extermination.

New to Proxmox, Facing Issues with Homelab Setup - Need Advice
cross-posted from: lemmy.buddyverse.net/post/5454
Hello everyone, I’m fairly new to Proxmox and struggling with my homelab setup. I have two machines running Proxmox 9: an HP EliteDesk 800 G5 Mini (Core i7-9700) and a Dell OptiPlex 7070 Micro (Core i3 9th gen). I’m running into several issues and would appreciate your insights.
- Networking Issue on EliteDesk: I have two VMs (both Ubuntu Server 24.04 LTS) on the same bridge (default vmbr0, I haven't modified any network settings in proxmox). If I stop or shut down one VM, the other loses internet connectivity. I can still access the applications from my home network using IP address (192.268.x.x).
- Backup Setup on OptiPlex: I’m running a Proxmox Backup Server VM with Backblaze B2 as an S3 datastore. This is working fine so far.
- Backup Problems on EliteDesk: I’m using default LVM-thin for VMs. Backups take a very long time and often freeze at 1-2%. Shutting down the VM cleanly afterward is nearly impossible. I’ve tried both Stop and Snapshot modes, but the issue persists. When a VM becomes unresponsive, it triggers the networking issue above. Would switching to ZFS help? If so, how can I migrate without losing any data?
- Hardware Acceleration for Jellyfin: On the EliteDesk, I’d like to enable hardware acceleration for a VM running Jellyfin (in Docker) using the i7-9700’s UHD 630 iGPU. Can anyone recommend a clear guide specific to this CPU? The Proxmox documentation isn’t very detailed for Intel GPUs.
The networking issue is the most frustrating. Has anyone encountered similar bridge problems? Any advice on fixes or next steps would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I can make a guess, but it's easier to hit Next.
Always excited to see more "buy here" alternatives rather than "just" an OS or custom ROM. Obviously we need that too but all too often we get stuck having to buy another phone we do not want (e.g. Pixel because Google) or hardware that's not supported enough for daily driving (e.g. PinePhone with camera still not supported properly on Pro, years later, power management unable to handle a day of use).
Unfortunately "FuriOS" doesn't look like a reliable alternative just based on the number of eyes, and hands, on it, cf github.com/FuriLabs so unless they can somehow pull all that weight on their own then I'd let others try before me and read reviews on the whole experience, not solely the quality of the hardware or the architecture of the software.

Cirrus app dev informing the app will stop working on certified android devices in '26/'27
Opening my weather app this morning I was greeted by this warning:
Google has announced that, starting in 2026/2027, all apps on certified Android devices
will require the developer to submit personal identity details directly to Google.
Since the developers of this app do not agree to this requirement, this app will no longer
work on certified Android devices after that time.
It's the first time I hear about this, seems to be about:

Was this a big thing I somehow missed? I hope more devs will follow suit.

Marxism plus Leninism
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Leninism,
is in fact, Marxism-Leninism, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Marxism
plus Leninism. Leninism is not an ideology unto itself, but rather another free
component of a fully functioning Marxist ideology made useful by the
『Manifesto』 , 『Capital』 and vital ideology components comprising a full
ideology.
Many communists run a modified version of the Marxism ideology every day,
without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of Marxism
which is widely used today is often called Leninism, and many of its users are
not aware that it is basically the Marxism ideology, developed by Marx and
Engels.
There really is a Leninism, and these people are using it, but it is just a
part of the ideology they use. Leninism is the methodiology: a set of working
methods for achieving the goal of communism. The methodiology is an essential
part of an ideology, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context
of a complete ideology. Leninism is normally used in combination with the
Marxism ideology: the whole ideology is basically Marxism with Leninism added,
or Marxism-Leninism. All the so-called Leninism distributions are really
distributions of Marxism-Leninism!

Venezuela Announces Capture of Alleged DEA Agent With Massive Drug Shipment
According to Cabello, the detainees confessed the shipment was part of a "false flag operation" designed to incriminate Venezuela in international drug trafficking and justify external aggression. "The four detainees are saying they work for the DEA," Cabello told state television, calling the alleged plan a "maneuver for destabilization."Authorities said the boat originated in Colombia's Guajira region and was connected to a trafficking group called "Los Orientales," allegedly led by Gersio Parra Machado. Cabello argued that the operation demonstrated Venezuela's commitment to combating narcotics without resorting to lethal force. "We don't apply the death penalty," he said, drawing a contrast with U.S. military strikes on alleged drug vessels in the Caribbean.

Okay sure, they are a bunch of idiots, yes men, and fascists. I'm happy to agree on that.
But how would that even fit into the plans? They are currently just sinking drug ships and calling that a win, ignoring due process and international outcry like usual. They don't need a false flag bust for that strategy, nor does it make sense to assume they'd suddenly use a more complex plan than "lob rocket uga buga" which has so far been the cleverest they came up with in terms of foreign policy.
And then, assuming someone with some planing capability stuck around and actually came up with this international false flag drug smuggling operation for some indecipherable reason, why would they immediately after go back to brain-dead-mode and start sending a fresh-hire teenager to pose as a hardened Venezuelan smuggler?

This is another cut, among thousands. It's bad because we can see the motivation behind it. Free speech only for one team.
I don't want to be victim-blaming when I say expecting any big US corp to protect your privacy is futile. I know they want the reach of Insta and that's of course not a bad thing. But it's a threat considering who runs it. Another threat is editorializing the content. Don't put music on it, don't opine on the shamefulness of what the jackboots are doing, just post it. It's the best chance of this dying in the courts before the independence of the judiciary has completely gone. Constant dripping wears the stone and the MAGAs are pissing on it full force.
Another consideration must be at this point to host or mirror your content on servers outside the US. Countries that already didn't give an eff about the US or cooperating with its authorities. If you run your digital opposition on US-run/controlled infrastructure, you'll be shut down soon.
Ehab from Northern Gaza — My Family Has Lost Everything, We Sleep on the Streets — Please Help Us Survive
My name is Ehab, from northern Gaza. I have a family with four children — we have lost everything. Our home was destroyed, and I lost parts of my family: my sister and her children are among the dead and wounded. Now, we sleep on the streets, with no shelter and no safety.
The warplanes never leave the skies above us — we cannot sleep from the noise and fear. Tanks and raids are frighteningly close, and the gunboats fire from the sea. The situation is terrifying — the children cry from fear, and the elderly cannot endure the cold and hunger.
I have lost so much weight from hunger and this genocide. We have no source of income, no money to evacuate to the south where it may be safer. We desperately need funds to move my family to safety, and to buy food and medicine. You are our only hope.
Please, share this story and donate if you can. Every amount, no matter how small, can save us right now..
May God protect us and our families. From the depths of my heart, thank you to anyone who reaches out a hand to help.

in reply to BrikoX • • •Okay, so the situation majorly sucks and I hope the victim can somehow reclaim that money.
That said, the headline and article repeatedly call it a ‘verified Steam game’ but at no point do they explain what that means.
As far as I know, the only verification scheme on Steam is Steam Deck Verified, but the screenshot of the offending game’s store page shows that it was rated as ‘Unknown’.
Do they mean verified as in ‘Valve approved it for release’? Surely not, because every Steam game is approved for release so ‘verified Steam game’ would be a tautology.
Either I’m missing something, or this source is just adding meaningless words for no good reason.
BrikoX
in reply to MurrayL • • •Each game on Steam goes through their approval process. Especially:
partner.steamgames.com/steamdi…
Steamworks Partner Program
partner.steamgames.comMurrayL
in reply to BrikoX • • •Right, so there’s no such thing as an unverified Steam game because every game has to be approved before it appears on the storefront.
So why does the article repeatedly bother to specify that this was a ‘verified Steam game’? By that metric, they’re all verified.
I’m not even mad about it, I’m just confused why they bothered adding the qualifier at all.
BrikoX
in reply to MurrayL • • •It's mentioned twice by the article. And the term is probably used because that how the gamer addressed it in their post. I can only speculate, I didn't write the article.
In any case, it's a huge fuck up by Valve and not for the first time.
