     @smallcircles so it seems that #snap will be removed in the next #ubuntu LTS https://news.itsfoss.com/ubuntu-ditch-snap/ [Edit: actually no; that article is an April fool 🤦] but while waiting, I'm considering the opportunity to switch to something else... (#Debian, #PopOS, or something else Debian-based that plays well with #Gnome?)

     @maxlath oww, thank the gods.

     They call the release "Naughty Nightingale". I hope that is not foreboding of new surprises.

     Yeah, I should migrate too, but thing is.. all in all it costs me more than a full day when I aggregate time needed for all those app installs and config tweaks I need to make. I'm postponing.

     The OS upgrade was an opportunity for #Ubuntu to once more saddle me down with a #snap install of #Firefox, removing my hand-installed apt version.

     And I get all the funny little horrors back. Just now after a sudden Firefox crash, I now have the hand mouse pointer on any URL link.. that is completely BS and unworkable.
