Lobotomizing Gnome
Good observation.
Turning off extensions is where OP lost me. In the last year, the single biggest quality of life improvement for me has been discovering the Argos[0] extension, which basically lets you put whatever text/menus you want in the top bar by writing scripts that print to stdout. To save space, I hid the dock (I use [1] as a replacement alt-tab), so the top bar is the only piece of screen that isn't OS chrome.
On my top bar right now I have the time in four time zones (including the ever-important UTC to save a mental calculation when logging at logs), the name of the current Wifi access point, and some VPN details gleaned using a combination of ip r, ping, nc, and curl. Another extension shows free RAM. I look at them dozens of times a day.

The curse of being good in IT
I’ve heard this called “the defaults lifestyle” on the Software Defined Talk podcast. I’m forever locked out of nirvana because I have an iPhone but not a Mac, but that’s fine.
Occasionally plugins are worth the expense though. I finally discovered Argos[0] and I’m using it to show time in UTC and a couple other time zones. Super handy.
But if I try some new software and find that I have to tweak it a bunch to make it usable, that means the devs have different aesthetics and I should probably try something else.

Extension for focused window in top bar?
If you want, you could make the extension yourself via Argos https://github.com/p-e-w/argos using https://www.semicomplete.com/projects/xdotool/ or using one of these https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/38867/is-it-possible-to-retrieve-the-active-window-process-title-in-gnome/122870

Kargos: Terminal Widget
Hey Recently I found this widget named Kargos that shows terminal command output as a widget it uses Gnome's argos and BitBar (Mac) This gives a very nice opportunity to make your own custom widget.

New startup sells coffee through SSH and exclusively through SSH
Reminded me of Hacker Scripts, specifically `fucking-coffee`:
> this one waits exactly 17 seconds (!), then opens a telnet session to our coffee-machine (we had no frikin idea the coffee machine is on the network, runs linux and has a TCP socket up and running) and sends something like `sys brew`. Turns out this thing starts brewing a mid-sized half-caf latte and waits another 24 (!) seconds before pouring it into a cup. The timing is exactly how long it takes to walk to the machine from the dudes desk.

Cum va arăta Moldova peste 20 de ani?
India has hundreds of millions of English speakers, is it a stellar IT nation? It can only boast a dozen puppet top execs of Indian origins in US megacorps like Microsoft and Google. And a few hundred thousands of office drones on H-1B visas. Half of them probably already got used as ass wipes and fired during the post-pandemic mass layoffs. Are there so many reasonably known Indian programmers? If the ones working in IT companies may not be known due to NDAs and code being proprietary, they should have as many known contributors to free software. Where are they? Do you know many? I know ONLY ONE. All India is known for are mean memes like the one about Kumar the proverbial asshole. You can read more about it here if you're not familiar https://github.com/NARKOZ/hacker-scripts

Bill Gates said, "I will always choose a lazy person to do a difficult job because a lazy person will find an easy way to do it." What's a real-life example of this?
This story comes to mind. It could very well be made up, but someone else made those scripts inspired by the story.

Now that's what I call an hacker
This is the script used to talk to the coffee machine:

I wonder how many other devices talk telnet and have a weak password. Would be cool to have a database of such models.
