Because it’s 2023 and we can’t get basic UI that works properly?


Crashing is funny. In this case, it's hopefully because of the thing it toggled and not the UI. (I was toggling "allow overamplification" in the sound settings).

Maybe this is the relevant line of the crash log: Object Gio.DBusProxy (0x55e4d0f30a90), has been already deallocated


Sure sounds like a race. Building race-free software is hard, disciplined work, and may require blocking proposals for "hot" new features. So the cooler heads tend to lose those skirmishes, on either a FOSS or commercial battleground.

I think this is true, since I get Gnome crashes in the bluetooth settings and nowhere else.


Have you reported that as a bug?


Microwave ovens agree with you


The 1 button instantly starting the microwave for 1 minute annoys me often. I want to set the timer for 15 seconds so I can walk away. For 1 minute, double-tapping the 30s button is sufficient.

The real annoyance, though, is that pressing cancel/off does absolutely nothing if the microwave is being used as a timer (without the microwave itself running). When the timer beeps, my first thought is to press cancel/off. Then press it again a few times, because it's still beeping. Then I remember that there's a dedicated button (somewhere in the middle of the panel, labeled with small text) to cancel the timer.
