After a bit of searching I think people generally mean gnome 3 when they say gnome and gnome 2 is now known as Mate.

Is it gnome 3 (shell)?

I'm very wary of installing more extensions since I heard how many lucrative requests extension devs get from third parties for allowing them to enshittify their software.

I fear that part of the reason is that it isn't big enough yet for AstroTurf interest groups to care enough to invest into it. Although maybe AstroTurfing isn't included in the enshittification label?

For social media to work in the future I think there needs to be additional safeguards that keep enshittification at bay. But picking them will be a delicate art.

The problem with these rage inducing subreddits is that they seldom seem to propose or encourage any solution or alternative. So it ends up becoming a kind of circle jerk of learned helplessness.

It seems like a common internet thing. Rage bait and learned helplessness. We learn to accept that there's nothing to do because people and politicians are idiots because "look at all this stuff".

And often this aligns with advertising tech because it makes us engaged and seeking comfort of continued scrolling when we get a steady stream of anxiety injections. It's low key like an abusive relationship.

Paper runs out and can cause a mess in a busy public restroom.

Yup, although it can also have a tendency to stop after a few seconds and refuse to elaborate.

A hobby of mine is to get annoyed at hand dryers. 80% of the models I find are eyerollingly useless. Blow a faint breeze for five seconds, stop and refuse to trigger again no matter how much you try to slap the air in front of it.

Then there are those 5% that actually gets it. Blowing a jet stream that makes the water droplets sublimate so fast you forget you even washed.

Actually a good point.

Shouldn't the flag be revealed in the last pane for it to work?

More like content farming right?
