According to the article which the posted article cites, it’s a pretty standard ARM chip

If we’re opening up the electoral reform can of worms can we get the important parts too? You know, like proportional representation? Or is Poilievre too scared of strong democracy to talk about that?

This seems like an appropriate time to bring up December by EW&F

Yes it’s a Christmas song, yes it’s just September with slightly different lyrics, yes it’s bad, no I won’t apologise.

Danielle Smith punching herself in the face: Canada did it!

Wouldn’t that rule also necessarily have to change to allow browsers? Unless Apple wants to continue its malicious compliance by forcing other browsers to disable JavaScript.

Packages aren’t mail? Fair enough, I guess I’m the odd one out there.

Everyone except for me might be on the same page about package deliveries, though I still don’t understand why they would be.

Interesting, if a bit tangential, that 72% support reducing delivery frequency while Canada Post is trying to increase delivery frequency by doing weekend deliveries.

Personally, I don’t understand how many things can be so urgent that it’s profitable to deliver as frequently as possible. Surely a single specialised courier for critically fast deliveries (e.g. life saving medicine) would entirely saturate the market.

It might be time to boycott Egypt too

Preface: I don’t dislike the King, I dislike the monarchy. Hate is too strong of a word – I think it’s not worth the effort to completely remove the monarchy from the Canadian constitution (it opens a can of worms), but I think next time the constitution gets changed it should be done.

Canada doesn’t pay anything towards the Royal family except the cost of visits

That seems like a great reason to not like the guy. He takes our money whenever he visits. If I visit another country they don’t pay for anything.

He has no power, and he uses his influence

“Soft power” is another term for influence, so the king still has power.

campaign on the same things people on here like climate activism and access to healthcare.

That’s great! Except he’s doing it on private jets and with enough money to pay for many people’s healthcare.

Honestly, I think Elon Musk has more credentials for political influence (he did at least run a few moderately successful companies with his parents’ money). And I’m under no illusions that Elon Musk is a good influence. What are the king’s credentials? Being heir to dictators responsible for colonialism, many wars, etc.? Sounds like a really bad case of nepotism. The king is doing good work now, but there’s nothing stopping him from using his influence for something incredibly destructive in the next five seconds.

Good point (I shouldn’t drop words). The Z2 A, which is in the lower-end Xbox Ally X, is basically the Steam Deck’s chip. AMD naming is so strange.

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.

Any way to confirm this is legit?

You say you’re open source but don’t link to the open source code. Nothing more

Their source code: https://github.com/silexlabs

there’s a lot of mention about being FOSS but they never actually prove it, which is funny to me

Your comment comes off as a bit too gender normative IMO, but I do think you are correct in that it might be a bit blown out of proportion. The law does protect doctors who deem it necessary to do surgery to correct birth defects (especially those that involve or are around genitelia) and I think that’s quite reasonable. It would be even better if the law set specific protections for intersex infants, though. There’s a significant difference between someone born with a defect that can cause serious complications in the future (I heard recently that AFAB urethras are surprisingly often plumbed weirdly) and someone who’s born intersex.

What do you mean by “Canada’s Joe Biden moment”? Joe Biden had at least 4 years worth of moments.

Nobody won a rally, it’s just a headline that can be parsed to get more than one meaning. I presume this is the correct parsing:

(Subject) [verb] {object}

(Albertans ‘crushed’ by Liberal election win) [rally] {to separate from Canada}

or phrased less ambiguously:

Albertans who were ‘crushed’ by the Liberals winning the election went to a rally about separating from Canada

According to the original source the majority of Albertans do not see it that way (only 44% think she’s a traitor), which are realistically the voices who matter the most in getting her out of power.

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

A bit of a strangely organised article. The relevant information is actually near the end of the article, with the start just providing general slaughterhouse tactics. Here’s a summary of the relevant info:

• Chickens and turkeys are being slaughtered in horrible ways (this shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone) and they’re killed in mostly the same ways for avian flu.
• The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) hired some companies previously convicted of animal cruelty to carry out killings for avian flu, in some cases paying them more for these avian flu killings than the previous fines (in the range of hundreds of thousands of dollars).
• The CFIA has to compensate the company for killing their animals, which can be millions of dollars.

Unfortunately the original order makes it very annoying to read if you don’t care about the website’s agenda. They’d probably have more success in reaching other audiences if they skipped the general slaughterhouse tactics part since it isn’t about avian flu at all.
