Jun 10, 2020 at 9:43 comment added muru @SteveInBavaria it's automated. It's a known problem that the selection process is no indicator of quality of the post. There are numerous discussions on Meta Stack Exchange about this, including, for example: meta.stackexchange.com/q/238420/270345 meta.stackexchange.com/q/317418/270345 meta.stackexchange.com/q/334877/270345 meta.stackexchange.com/q/245390/270345 meta.stackexchange.com/q/327207/270345 meta.stackexchange.com/q/284929/270345

Jun 9, 2020 at 20:00 comment added Thomas Ward Mod Also the lock is temporary - i hate rollback wars and having to squash edits and such, but there are a lot of cases where that devolves into a constant war - so my apologies for having to step in and come up with a 'compromise' in this case. (I really dislike doing it but it's one of the tasks and powers moderators sometimes have to exercise heh.)
Jun 9, 2020 at 19:56 comment added Jacob Vlijm Emotional is when you take a technically perfect edit personal, and refuse to accept it because you want to keep it YOUR version. Using upvotes in a single situation as an argument to get your way is, well yes, horrible. Actual arguments is what counts only. Both in the real world as well as on AU.
Jun 9, 2020 at 18:24 comment added SteveInBavaria What's all this talk of "horrible,horrible" arguments about? Is that how people answer questions on this forum? Isn't it all a bit emotional?

Jun 9, 2020 at 17:28 comment added Glorfindel It's even a more horrible argument since all but two of the upvotes occurred after it became a Hot Network Question, i.e. it has been voted on by users like me with no Ubuntu knowledge at all.
Jun 9, 2020 at 17:06 comment added Jacob Vlijm You are using votes as an argument, which is in both the real world as well as on AU a horrible, horrible one. If MY question is upvoted 100x or by the whole world, but is technically incorrect, it should be improved. "After all I just want to be allowed to keep my own, perfectly understandable and accurate, title to my own question - if it's incorrect -> no. I'd be happy if someone improves it.
Jun 9, 2020 at 16:58 comment added muru How surprising. I suppose ar, tar, dpkg and the Ubuntu Software app are also named after apt?
Jun 9, 2020 at 16:55 comment added SteveInBavaria Surely APTitude and synAPTtic are so named after the Advanced Package Tool or apt.
Jun 9, 2020 at 16:46 comment added muru I don't care much either way, but I really don't think the question has anything to do with the apt tag. It absolutely does not matter to what you're asking at its core whether the non-snap version was installed via apt, aptitude, synaptic, the software centre or via dpkg or even via manually extracting the deb file.
