they say they do is not the same as they do. Find me someone who isn't them who says the same thing
You're literally looking at a post that is a result of that effort... The human review process exists to try and reduce GNOME Shell extensions that could potentially break the shell. The link I posted details other steps as well, but of course you didn't bother reading that. And again, it's impossible to never break extensions because extensions are just scripts that monkey-patch the GNOME Shell process. Trying their best is all they can do.
With how Reddit and Lemmy react to GNOME, you would think GNOME killed their dog or something.
extensions are just scripts that monke patch == there is no extension mechanism
Yeah basically. It's just called Extensions. As I said in another comment, it's honestly a misnomer.
