OMG Ubuntu ☛ Ubuntu Pro Packages in ‘Software Updater’ Annoying Some Users
It seems some users aren’t happy that there’s (currently) no way to disable Ubuntu Pro package updates from showing in the Software Updater tool in Ubuntu LTS releases. Last year, Canonical updated update-manager (aka Software Updater) to display a list of Ubuntu Pro package updates available for user systems regardless of whether Ubuntu Pro is enabled or not (and if it’s not, they can’t install them). Prior, only users who explicitly opted-in to Ubuntu Pro would see corresponding package updates available for their systems. >

Launchpad News: Launchpad-linked federated Matrix accounts
Users can now add their Matrix accounts to their profile in Launchpad, as requested by Canonical’s Community team.
We also took the chance to slightly rework the frontend and how we display social accounts in the user profiles. Instead of having different sections in the profile for each social account , all social accounts are now all under a “Social Accounts” section.
