It's mostly an iteration on existing handhelds with extra Microsoft changes on top. It's exciting if you don't want to leave the comfort of Windows. Unfortunately, it's just as much of a nightmare for privacy and other ethical reasons as other Windows handhelds. It also seems like it's going to be power hungry and not aimed at directly competing with the Steam Deck, which is still the industry standard right now. Handhelds need more efficiency, not more performance.

Also it's Z2 Extreme, not Zen 2 Extreme. The Steam Deck's APU is based on Zen 2, the Z2 is based on Zen 5.

The Canadian movement to not buy from the USA is already showing some economic impact (though it's hard to see through all of the other self-inflicted economic problems the USA has caused). It doesn't even take that much time to have a real economic impact.

I hear Lemmy is pretty good as a sort of forum, maybe you've heard of it?

But more seriously, I've found that social media platforms (even the fediverse ones) tend to limit connections to surface-level. I personally wouldn't rely on them to find people to talk to. But if you're looking for communities who share similar interests, it's very good at that. If you're looking for individuals, the next best thing is sliding into someone's DMs to have a more focused one-on-one conversation. I'd recommend against doing that without some other interaction first (it looks scammy).

In case you want to chat, my DMs are open.

I was hoping it was an April Fools joke but now I'm just disappointed for two reasons.

Someone with undetermined/unknowable gender would use the pronouns they/them, never he/him.

I'm like 70% this is just bait, but I've got some time to break it down so I'll bite. For reference, the traditional vow is usually something along the lines of

I, [my name], take you, [partner's name], for my lawful wife/husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and health, until death do us part.

From OP:

What this entails if you mean it,

If someone cheats. The other partner has the right to kill them, if one tries leaving without mutual agreement. The other one can kill them. It’s not about anything unhealthy but two people collectively agreeing to a statement.

That's quite the leap from promising to take someone as your lawfully wedded partner until death to having the right to kill them if they do something you don't like. In fact, the vow does explicitly say that you have to take them for better or for worse, which would include just about any sleight against you, including cheating. So not only do you not gain the right to kill them, you yourself would break the vow if you stopped having/accepting them when they cheated.

If you don’t want that then something like Till Time Do Us Part.

This way there is no death involved and your relationship isn’t built on a false and shallow promise.

Is there actually a reasonable interpretation where promising to do something until death is less shallow than promising to do something until time progresses? Promising to do something for a period of time without specifying the period means that doing it for 1 second is enough. Unless you're going to die in the second after you get married, "until death" is a lot more meaningful.

If you're unwilling to make a vow with any heft to it, don't get married. Marriage is no longer required in a good portion of the world thanks to common law "marriages" now. In other places, marriage is just a legal contract which can be broken by another proceeding called "divorce", not "murder". In most of the world, it's agreed upon that nobody has the right to murder someone else in any circumstance except for war (and plenty of people would prefer that single exception be removed too).

They may have mixed up the British commonwealth. Canada has a similar population to California

If the US government didn't work with the US military that would be crazy

I just sat down to do my annual donations, so I've got the list ready to go:

• local food bank
• local safe injection site
• Signal
• KDE
• OpenMedia (closest thing to EFF in Canada)

A few places I couldn't afford to donate to this year, in case anyone needs more ideas:

• archive.org
• EFF
• miscellaneous software projects I'm using (mostly Steam Deck plugins because I'm in that community a lot)
• Gnome

I also give a bit to Tor and The Beaverton monthly.

Victims are all SOL, in more ways than one

It's a bit relevant... at least the fact that Teslas are electric cars. The car caught fire while people were inside, which was likely made worse by the battery. It's not a big leap to make from reading the headline, since batteries are infamous for catching fire

Chromium is still controlled by Google, so having an overwhelming market share of Chromium-based browsers reduces competition and increases Google's control of the market's position and future. Using Firefox (and Safari, if it were not locked to a single ecosystem) reduces that threat.
