Gathered at Camp David, Biden's family tells him to stay in the race and keep fighting ( apnews.com )

President Joe Biden’s family used a Sunday gathering at Camp David to urge him to stay in the race and keep fighting despite his dreadful debate performance, and some members criticized how his staff prepared him for the faceoff, according to four people familiar with the discussions....

Ya, he should have never sought re-election, but it's past that point.

Can you provide some more information about him abusing his powers here?

Found a security bug in LMDE6, need some help ( i.imgur.com )

I have an older Intel laptop that has a 1600x900 display, and I find that if I put the machine to sleep, connect an external monitor with a higher resolution, and then turn it back on, the login screen doesn't adjust to the new resolution and it reveals what I had open (see photo)....

Go ahead and report it to the Mint team. Even if it is an issue upstream, they will verify the issue and then report it as well. Never hesitate to report a bug you find, especially if it's a security or privacy issue.

Even if the bug is a duplicate, it helps to know other people are having the same issue. At worst they will mark your report as a duplicate, which will let you know they are aware of the issue.

A PR disaster: Microsoft has lost trust with its users, and Windows Recall is the straw that broke the camel's back ( www.windowscentral.com )

It's a nightmare scenario for Microsoft. The headlining feature of its new Copilot+ PC initiative, which is supposed to drive millions of PC sales over the next couple of years, is under significant fire for being what many say is a major breach of privacy and security on Windows. That feature in question is Windows Recall, a...

That will rely on businesses moving away from Windows. That is where they make a ton of their money with Enterprise licenses and Office 365 subscriptions.

Biden Administration Tightens Mileage Standards to Buoy E.V.s | The new rule requires automakers to achieve an average of 65 miles per gallon across all models by 2031. ( www.nytimes.com )

The new standards require American automakers to increase fuel economy so that, across their product lines, their passenger vehicles would average 65 miles per gallon by 2031, up from 48.7 miles today. The average mileage for light trucks, including pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles, would have to reach 45 miles per...

That's the real reason. They collect plenty of tax from the gas pumps, so they needed another way. The other option would be toll roads, which I haven't seen here in Ohio.

The standards will also require heavy-duty pickup trucks, such as the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD, and large vans, such as Amazon delivery vans, to reach 35 miles per gallon by 2035, up from 18.8 miles per gallon today

This is a step in the right direction, but it would be better if the standards for passenger cars would include all consumer vehicles.

Microsoft, sure.

Have the other two really done anything that would cause this inquiry? Not saying they haven't, it's just less obvious to me.

Bazzite has Ally images available. ChimeraOS should work as well. I don't have an Ally, so no idea on how well they work.

I don't trust the other manufacturers to support their systems as well as the Steam Deck. Asus, Lenovo, MSi, and all of the Chinese brands make their money from the initial sale only. Valve continues to make money after the sale, so they want to make sure your Deck lasts as long as possible.

The person telling the story could always tell lies, which would mean his brother would only tell the truth.

I don't think your math is correct. There are 946,728,000 seconds in 30 years. That would mean they made just over a dollar per second, which is still pretty insane.

Name brand cereal has gotten so expensive. I swapped to store brands and haven't noticed a huge difference. Probably better to stop eating cereal in general.

Reddit: 'We Are in the Early Stages of Monetizing Our User Base' ( www.404media.co )

Reddit said in a filing to the Securities and Exchange Commission that its users’ posts are “a valuable source of conversation data and knowledge” that has been and will continue to be an important mechanism for training AI and large language models. The filing also states that the company believes “we are in the early...

I think the bubble is coming too. The question is how much it will take for normal users to be done with them. The current Lemmy user base is more focused on tech, open source, and/or privacy than the average Internet user, which is why we already abandoned Reddit.

I think having to pay for access to these sites might be the biggest issue, as many people see the Internet as something that should be free.

I think the biggest issue for me was how large the map was. They did the castle and hogsmede very well, but then threw in a bunch of filler content in the other towns. If they had stuck to the more core areas only, the game wouldn't have gotten so stale later on.

Those updates in Discover are for flatpak, not dnf. You can verify that with flatpak update.

As for discover wanting to restart to do their update, that's a fedora thing for an extra level of safety while updating. You can read about it here.

GNOME Sees Progress On Variable Refresh Rate Setting, Adding Battery Charge Control ( www.phoronix.com )

As pointed out in This Week in GNOME, there's been some continued work on Variable Rate Refresh for the GNOME desktop. The VRR setting within GNOME Settings continues to be iterated on as the developers iron out how they'd like to present the Variable Rate Refresh setting for users. The developers have been discussing how to...

The lack of VRR in GNOME is what had me change to KDE. I prefer GNOME in many ways, but I was tired of having to use the vrr patches to keep the functionality.

I used it previously. I never had crashes because of it, but it would mean I would have to wait for the aur packages to be updated before I could upgrade to the next iteration of GNOME.
