and thanks everyone who make the CUPS Snap possible (not mentioned by him, #OpenPrinting and #snapcraft/#snapd folks).

I got note of this on the #FOSDEM #FOSDEM2024, at the #UBports booth. Thanks, @ruds for bringing me to the UBports booth!

(@fredldotme I am still waiting for your write-up)

The most annoying thing for me was the huge internet data usage by snap updates but it is better now.

Even though it showed 300mb for a Firefox update, but only consumed 80mb and everything updated and working wonderfully ! 😅 😍 👑

The New app store is beautiful 🙌

(just sharing my experience 😅 )

A pretty reasonable explanation as to why Flatpaks/Snaps/AppImages are a thing. (www.youtube.com)

Just ran across this, and it's one of the better explanations as to why Flatpaks/Snaps/AppImages as a concept are a good thing, and are likely to be the future for EndUser applications.

Hmm, #snapd just ate all the remaining RAM on my VPS and hung it. Looks like it's been trying to do something for the last ~ 12 hours, for it left a lot of such records in the log:

Jun 16 08:13:39 amber systemd[1]: snapd.service: start operation timed out. Terminating.
Jun 16 08:13:41 amber systemd[1]: snapd.service: Failed with result 'timeout'.

And #certbot is the only thing I installed via snap. Looks very strange.
