@dotstdy clearly it should be snapshot and snapshat

@lottie what if org.freedesktop.RageVerification1

you have to be angry (at the current state of things) to use the computer now

@lizzy oh god it's somebody who I used to know from Minecraft modding

why does everybody I stop talking with have to become annoying

@lizzy this is what I feel about myself

like I'm trying to contribute to a virtual whiteboard app right now, and I constantly have to be pointed back by the project author to actually polishing features and fixing bugs instead of adding shiny new features

idk I just constantly have Ideas™ on stuff to do and that doesn't bode well with actually making a properly polished and finished application

@pwithnall Like, I have a prototype of this (called quotamanaged for now), that asks the KDE background impl portal (though you should be able to change it to use the GNOME one) for what apps are in the foreground and background, and changes their CPUWeights to match.

This is simple enough that it would be possible to upstream to xdg-desktop-portal itself, though I have no idea if it would be accepted there.

(I can publish the source code if needed, though it's really simple)

@pwithnall No, I meant that you can ask the background portal backend for what apps are in the background/foreground and adjust based on that, in a different daemon. Sorry if I misled you :)

I was trying to get an MR merged into a project, and I was banging my head against the wall because the CI tests was failing while it was working entirely fine on my computer.

I eventually figured out the reason was that my computer had a needed font installed, but CI didn't. Adding a QFontDatabase::addApplicationFont made it work.

Urgh.

@AdrianVovk @pwithnall from what I can tell it's pretty easy to do this with org.freedesktop.impl.portal.Background, I made a prototype of that and tested it around. Problem is you hit issues like e.g. some chromium/electron apps reorganizing themselves into a app-org.chromium.Chromium scope, which causes issues.

I'll try and see if systemd slice reassigning works.

@starwatch anything specific
Anyways, totally unrelated (tm): would it be nice to have a virtual whiteboard application with p2p collaboration?
