Edicts from the council about racial equality in its fire service, for example, applied to the isle of Mull just as to Paisley.Įnvied and resented by Scotland’s other regions, Strathclyde in its heyday was a huge engine of planning, investment and wealth redistribution responsible for education, water, transport, police, fire services and planning. While the industrial west of Scotland had been a Labour fiefdom since the 1920s, Strathclyde also embraced prim townships along the Clyde, rural Argyll and the Inner Hebrides. He led not only Strathclyde, with 45 per cent of Scotland’s population and 85,000 employees, but the Labour–dominated Convention of Scottish Local Authorities (Cosla) – an aggregation of power only matched when Scotland gained its devolved government. For now we will have to deal with the degraded user experience snaps have created, or else remove all snaps and rely on apt.Sir Charles Gray, who has died aged 94, was Scotland’s – and possibly Britain’s – most powerful figure in local government as leader from 1986 to 1992 of Strathclyde Regional Council, the largest local authority in western Europe. Hopefully in the future Snap will evolve to have a more behind-the-scenes update process that only pester the user for rare critical changes, similar to mobile app stores or even Ubuntu's original package manager apt. If you are more tech savvy you can also change when the background update checks occur and automate refreshes, though to my knowledge you will still have to close apps before they can be upgraded: To manually update snaps you can either occasionally visit Ubuntu Software > Updates or run snap refresh in the terminal. In GNOME you should be able to go to Settings > Notifications > Snapd User Session Agent and turn them off from there. If you want to control when snap updates occur rather than simply disable notifications, see this other answer. Important note: you will not receive notifications about pending snap updates and the apps will eventually autoclose, potentially losing data depending on the nature of the app.
