I had friends who were massive Tool fans, and all they spoke about was how great Tool was. Their fanboyism turned me away from Tool without even wanting to give it a proper try.

I wasn't until years later when I no longer regularly saw those friends (we got old-er) that I ended up listening to it, and it turns out I really like them.

If it wasn't for the annoying cult of Tool, I would have had the pleasure of enjoying them much sooner.

    I've used a registry editor on Linux before to pull the Bluetooth pairing keys off my Windows partition so I could add them to my Linux Bluetooth config so the Bluetooth device would work on both systems.

    Windows is a 32-bit hardware extension and a graphical shell for a 16-bit patch to an 8-bit operating system originally coded for a 4-bit microprocessor, written by a 2-bit company, that can't stand 1 bit of competition

    And give it to random people, not anyone note worthy. Like, team up with McDonalds to run a competition to win a FIFA peace prize or something.

    Buy a Big Mac Meal and you qualify to enter the draw for your own FIFA Peace Prize.

    I know this doesn't solve your immediate problem when using GNOME, but if you are desktop curious, KDE natively offers sharing a portion of the screen or even creating a whole new virtual monitor with its own resolution, wallpaper etc that you can share.

    So my typical workflow is to have it create a 1080p virtual monitor above my real monitors, and share that, since sharing a full 4k monitor makes it hard for people to read. Then I can show whatever I want on that monitor without worrying about exposing something from my main monitors.
