Why is this fun fact always forgotten?

Snaps can and will automatically update without your consent and there is no, zero way to stop it. You can delay, but even that is a pain in the ass.

Think about this from a systems administrator point-of-view… There are third party developers that can push arbitrary updates out to your production servers.

In no medium to large IT shop would this be considered even remotely acceptable.

If I wanted to cede all control over my servers to a bunch of half-assed services that randomly restart, I’d have gone with Windows. They’re both doing everything they can do to lock you in. With Microsoft, it’s par for the course. From Canonical, the erstwhile face of consumer friendly Linux distros, it’s a slap in the face to their FOSS roots.

The developers are dismissive of the users. Every online conversation ends with “don’t worry your pretty little head off”
