I have over 20 gnome extensions and I haven’t seen an update break one in the past year I have been running Fedora. Even the Fedora 40-41 upgrade gave me no issues

Coke never has the water button on it though

Soldiers knocking down doors to arrest millions of illegal aliens and everyone who looks like an illegal alien and shoving them into camps, what could go wrong?
