Re-name Sound Output Devices in Top-right Menu in Ubuntu 23.04
For Ubuntu 23.04, Fedora 38 and other Linux with GNOME 44, there's now an extension allows to change display name of audio output devices from the top-right aggregation menu (aka Quick Settings).

Christian Hergert: GJS plugins for libpeas-2.0
One of the main features I want to land for the libpeas-2.0 ABI break is support for plugins in JavaScript.
With the right set of patches, you can get that. Thanks to Philip Chimento, GJS will hopefully soon land support for running code in a SpiderMonkey realm. Philip also did us a solid and wrote the code to exfiltrate enough
GType
information from an imported JavaScript module. That allows libpeas to correlate whichGType
s are provided by a plugin.With the GJS realm support in place, we can land the new GJS loader for libpeas-2.0.
