  • SOLVED GNOME extensions stopped working after upgrade to Fedora Workstation 42

    Jump

  • I know that OP already found the solution but I just wanted to chime in because every person who commented completely misunderstood the question. It's normal that some extenions don't support the new version after updating GNOME but in that case, the switch will be disabled and it will show you a warning that the extensions doesn't support the new GNOME version. OP clearly stated that they could still switch the extensions on and off. Besides that, most extensions will already have been updated to support the new version by the time the Fedora update comes out, so it wouldn't make sense that all the extensions wouldn't work anymore.

    As a tip, you can install "Extension Manager" instead of the default "Extenions" app and besides being able to install extensions right through the app, it also has an "Upgrade Assistant" function, which lets you check which of your extensions support the GNOME version you specify. That way you can check if your extensions will work in the new GNOME version before updating.

  • I mean, China is obviously not some saint but those suicide nets seem like a good thing to me. People throw themselves off of buildings here in the west too but at least the people who installed those nets care enough to try to prevent those people from killing themselves.

  • That's the solution I used in the end too. It was for my parents TV, which is a smart TV with an OS that just sucks. I have a server with Jellyfin and every time they wanted to open that, they had to navigate to the app store, open that, open "Web App Tester" and then click the link for Jellyfin. The TV was also really slow in general, it always took like half a minute to connect to our WiFi after turning on and it randomly started to flicker. Then I found the Xiaomi TV Box, which comes with a bluetooth remote and can be hooked up to a TV over HDMI. It runs Google TV, which is just the new name for Android TV, so it has Jellyfin as an app and all the other issues were fixed as well. I know that still sucks privacy wise but my parents don't care about that and they just wanted something that works. We also wanted to replace the smart TV with a dumb TV at first but all the dumb TVs we could find were a lot smaller and only 1080p instead of 4k, so we just disconnected the smart TV from our WiFi. This new setup is an improvement in every way and we can replace the TV itself and the Xiaomi TV Box independently if we ever need to.

  • I completely agree with you that all forks in the image suck. The part that you stick into the food shouldn't be rounded like that, it should be straight, so when you take it out of your mouth, it glides through your lips uniformly without some weird bumps. It should also have enough space in between the thingys, so you don't just cut your food in half when sticking it in. Then the handle, there's no reason for it not to be straight either. My hand doesn't have weird bumps like that, so the handle shouldn't either. It should also not be that flat, so it's nicer to grip.

    Once I move out of my parents house, I'm definitely gonna buy forks like the one in your image. This is the best fork I've ever seen. Everything is straight without weird bump, it's not gonna cut my food in half and the handle is thick, so it's nice to grip. I don't understand how people who design things like this just don't think about making them nice to use. Do they stop themselves from thinking about how the thing they make would actually be used or what?

  • I never really understood the deal about hybrids anyway. To me, it just seems like the worst of both worlds. One of the coolest things about EVs is that you can just charge it at home but wirth a hybrid you need to charge it in addition to also driving to the gas station to fill up the tank. The battery is also way smaller, so the electric engine doesn't take you very far anyway. And whatever engine you're using, you always have to carry the weight of the other system. And since you have both, doesn't that mean that there's way more that can break too?

    And that's just talking about plug-in hybrids, the ones that generate electricity using a combustion engine just seem like ICE vehicles with extra steps.

  • I live in Germany and I would love to buy a chinese EV but I just can't find any place that sells them. You just can't really order cars online from China like you can with other products.

  • Don't think so. I think it's part of Firefox's advanced tracking protection and you can only turn that off completely but that would defeat the whole point of using LibreWolf. You could search up if there's a way to explicitely add fonts to LibreWolf/Firefox but I don't expect there to be one.

  • Both of those things have a really small impact, to the point that it doesn't matter. Generating one picture using AI takes like 30 seconds of your GPU running at full power. Besides, I don't think that's a fair comparison in the first place. Pighair brushes are not the main animal product people consume and generating something using AI models isn't what's using the majority of the energy but training the models is. The metric that's actually important is what both industries as a whole are contributing to climate change, otherwise we can just keep picking examples that prove the other one wrong.

  • I'm pretty sure LibreWolf just uses default fonts and ignores the ones installed on your system. It's a measure against tracking. A website can make your browser render different fonts and then e.g. read out the size of the text block and then, depending on whether you have the font installed or not, that size will be different (because the actual font characters will have a slightly different size from the missing character symbol or from characters from other fonts) and they can use that to see what fonts are installed on your system, which can be used to track you.
