> Snaps require you to allow each publisher to automatically push arbitrary software updates to your machine, and snap deliberately does not allow you to disable this misfeature. Your emphasis is completely unwarranted here, since it's easy and trivial to install a snap without it being tied to the store such that it will never update: snap download certbot then use the two commands given: snap ack certbot_889.assert snap install --classic certbot_889.snap Now certbot is installed as a snap, but software updates for the snap are disabled. Edit: I wouldn't recommend this, of course, because telling users to never update their Internet-connected software is a really bad idea, both for their security and for everyone else. More conventionally you'd want finer grained control over update schedules for production use (https://snapcraft.io/docs/keeping-snaps-up-to-date https://snapcraft.io/docs/keeping-snaps-up-to-date) rather than block updates entirely. Claiming that you cannot do it, with emphasis, though, is outright false and is an invalid claim only used by the haters. I bet you're now going to come back and tell me how the control isn't good enough somehow, but that doesn't matter. The point is that you can control updates, and you're being outright misleading by claiming otherwise.
