Give this man a medal. Thank you.

To update to this version use:

    snap refresh --channel=edge snapd
    snap refresh --hold
to get rid of automatic updates.


Yeah I mention this towards the end of my rant (in the article) but it's a) not available yet and b) not clear whether it'll actually notify you when there are updates to be made. I'm guessing it expects you to unhold at some point to get "refreshes".


I'm fine with that. Nothing drives me more mad than to be in the middle of an interview taking notes and then suddenly land in an endless loop of being forced to restart my browser. It's not like some of us don't have work to do while we're in the browser and the utter disrespect by the designers of this crap to the detriment of their users is baffling. This is one thing where commercial software has something of an edge over FOSS: you can't even threaten to withhold your $ if they misbehave. Power to the user.
