Well, yes, it is true. And also the part about them being ugly. At least with VLC, which I just tested after its snap was reccommended by Ubuntu themselves over on birdsite. Not good.
"Snap apps also open slower than my front door does to the postman at 7 AM."

I'm so saddened to hear the news that JP Barlow has passed. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2018/02/john-perry-barlow-internet-pioneer-1947-2018
We needed him and his work now, more than ever. Thankfully we have the EFF to continue his crucially important work and carry on his legacy.
I will donate to the EFF in Barlow's memory. I hope you will join me! https://supporters.eff.org/donate

I'm here because I'm starting to suspect that putting 7 billion people into a few gigantic social media networks with insane business models may actually have been a bad idea.
Loving all the new functionality of #LibreOffice 6.0. Better support for Microsoft's pseudo-open file formats, a new "Ribbon UI", and much more.
Seems like a very worthwile upgrade! http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2018/01/libreoffice-6-0-release-download

"First electric black cabs arrive in London"
https://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/first-electric-black-cabs-arrive-in-london-a3747246.html
"... it is the first of 9,000 new zero-emission electric black cabs to be on London’s roads by 2020."
"From the start of the year, TfL rules allow only low-emission capable vehicles to join its fleet of 23,000 cabs."
(It does have a petrol generator as backup, but it charges the battery rather than powering the car directly.)
