Re-visiting update control on the desktop

@shadowjonathan

but do not respond to inquiries and concerns made in that post

You mean this one?

@niemeyer

The issue that makes us resist the idea of simply disabling updates altogether is that very often that will mean never update rather than update at someone’s discretion, and then we’re getting back to some of the problems that got us here in the first place. That’s why we’ve been resisting introducing that global switch, at least for the time being, and instead working with people to mitigate the bad side effects of having automatic updates enabled.

Not agree with the inquiry != Do not respond the inquiry

@shadowjonathan

“If one does not like it then they can fork it” does not work when half of the software is proprietary and in tandem with internal design decisions. Also, since when has “just fork it” really worked as an argument to a platform software of this kind?

I agree, however the API is available so anyone with enough motivation should be able to make a compatible Snap Store and, convince all the stakeholders to use it.

@imoutthiswasamistake

Yeah, that’s pretty much the arrogant, condescending attitude I expected from this community.
