    OK, here we are, at the start of the third article in my Slimbook Titan series. Just recently, I received the namesake laptop, and promptly (well, sort of) configured it for day-to-day use, with Kubuntu 22.04 as the operating system of choice. The things hadn't gone amazingly well early on, but so far, the results are quite decent.

    [08:39] schestowitz[TR]

    In the first article, we talked about the laptop spec and ergonomics. In the second, I focused on the installation and setup, hardware compatibility and such. Now, we will examine the software side of the experience. After all, an operating system is only as good as its everyday usability. My primary driver for buying and using this hefty machine is to prepare myself for the inevitable swit [08:39] schestowitz[TR] ch away from Windows, sometime in the future. To that end, everything must pop pop pop. Everything must be super-green. Now, let's talk.

    Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez Contradicts His Own Bill and Department Officials in Effort to Defend Bill C-18
    [11:56] schestowitz[TR]
    [11:56] schestowitz[TR]

    I have bolded the key element in the definition, namely that a digital news intermediary makes news content available to Canadians. Given the definition, it is inexplicable that Rodriguez would claim the bill has nothing to do with the very issue that sits at the heart of the legislation.

    [11:56] schestowitz[TR]

    The bill also includes a definition for making news content available: [...]
