You can arrange snapd to update on your preferred schedule. What you cannot do is defer updates forever.
- Longhanks 7y agoYes, I can. This is my computer, and if snap does not obey my wishes, it‘s getting removed.
- michaelmrose 7y agoYou can just not install Ubuntu
- Brian_K_White 7y agoThat is pretty much the thrust of the OP itself, and most of the agreeing comments. So While true, it doesn't seem to be much of an observation. At the same time, it's also perfectly valid to instead, express what you want and don't want, and generally try to fix something that has broken or correct the aim of something that has veered off course. Approving of the new change is also valid for that matter. The only invalid thing is telling whichever camp you're not in that they can leave if they don't like it. Remember, this is a change, not just the way something has always been. How about, if you like the idea of everything packaged in the form of snaps, and all those snaps updating themselves outside of your control, you can just go find, or create, some new distro that works that way, instead of changing one that already exists and forcing all it's existing users to either accept the change or move, to accomodate a change you like? "Take it or leave it" are not the only options, and it says something unflattering about anyone who tries to suggest that they are.
- craftinator 7y agoThis is the most constructive comment I've seen in this thread.
- D2187645 7y agoWould iptables help block snap from reaching out?
