One thing that annoys me most in Google Meet is that you cannot hide UI and make shared desktop fullscreen when somebody is screensharing. Then I found paid (!) Chrome extension for doing exactly this, and now I have a conspiracy theory tha

Honestly sad for desktop bluetooth, but good riddance for all the multimedia stuff (Rhytmbox, Totem and Sound Juicer). The fact that somebody in Red Hat paid the guy to maintain them, when the GNOME is still missing/delaying fundamenta
