  • Congrats! You have this superpower and I am jealous.

    Unfortunately you can now only concentrate on things you are supposed to do. You try to watch TV and you can’t follow the show because you’re thinking about how you need to mop the floors. Want to read? You can’t concentrate because you really should wash your windows. Your life becomes a hell of boring productivity. You lose sleep thinking about all the things you’re supposed to do, including how you’re supposed to be asleep by now. There is no more pleasure in life. There are no more quiet moments. There is only stuff you are supposed to do.















  • They’re downloaded somewhere under /var/snap and by default a snap only has access to a limited set of directories - one under /var/snap for system-wide data (generally used by snaps that run services like cups or MySQL) and one under ~/snap for each user. When you snap remove an app, it bundles that up into a file that’s kept for a while in case you reinstall, but it won’t if you use --purge.

    Obviously many apps request access to other places (such as non-hidden directories in your homedir) so they can read or write stuff, but that’s down to the app to then behave correctly (same as with any other packaging system).
