The only one among those with whom I am familiar is Sam Harris. I like Sam's work. He and I don't agree about everything but generally about the important parts. That said, I haven't read that specific book.

Like another commenter said and I concur, I'm not much into "spiritualism." It's a trigger word for me, which evokes a lot of hogwash and superstition. Maybe it doesn't do the same for others and in context may have nothing to do with it.

Not to put too fine a point on it, I am not one to dissuade others or to be judgmental about maintaining an awareness, concern and respect for "meta" aspects of life. Emotional things, connections to other human beings, etc. Human beings have brains and there's nothing inherently rational about the way we interpret their workings. It's fine. I ponder the complexities of life and the pursuit of happiness as well, I imagine we all do. Should someone want to refer to that as "spirituality," fine. You can call it "banana" if you want to, I'm not the semantic police.

Where I draw a line personally as at the moment when superstitious "faith" or mysticism enters the picture.

When consuming literature like this, I think it's best to keep a skeptical lens and always be asking whether you're replacing a house of cards with a bridge of toothpicks. If the new foundation is just as flimsy as the old one, it's not a foundation at all. On the other hand, if the work helps to organize thought without introducing new ghosts, it's probably just a matter of taste after that.

I have done the same thing with Chrome profiles, and it has the same effect - starts with correct logo then changes.

I'm using ~/.local/share/applications. I tried this in FF and I don't see it working. Do you have a .desktop file you can share?

That would work for web application type of scenarios, like a YouTube wrapper I think. I'm looking for full blown browser profiles, treated as first class citizens / own application.

For now I decided it's been long enough and I should try Brave anyway, and haven't used Firefox in a few years. So I'll just use Brave for my personal stuff, Chrome for work, and Firefox for non-profit. If I fall in love with one so hard that the others annoy me, I'll just have to get used to disappointment I guess, or learn to code.

That said.. if anyone DOES know a way to do this in Wayland, I'm still interested. It looks like app-id is ignored by KDE, and so far as I can tell there's no good way to set it anyway. With web browsers being the absolutely dominant application through which most people interface with cloud applications these days, it's not uncommon to have multiple profiles with many tabs and different workflows. Based on the number of hits I get when researching this feature - absent in all major browsers on Plasma - it seems welcome.

I'm sure that the buyer can be expected to pay for shipping, but at the end of the day for any buyer the "price" is inclusive of all fees, and for the seller the "profit" is minus expenses. So if it's cheaper to ship using eBay's discount, that means the buyer pays more or the seller makes less.

In the end it's probably worth it for the peace of mind, though. I've personally never been screwed on a big ticket item and I don't mind selling stuff for under $100 on ebay. If I lose, it's lost, right? My feelings about eBay so far are that I'm selling there as much for altruistic reasons... I don't want the material to be landfill, someone can get a deal (I do it all the time), and I'd like to recoup some cash as well to spend on hobbies. The couple times I've been hassled and lost money on ebay, it totaled less that $50.

I'd be super upset if I got screwed for several hundred.

I would say it's infuriating, but I think I use that word too much.

I have found numerous posts, however this one seems to want the same thing as me, and there have been a few others, all of which suggest it's not possible.

I can literally drag the shortcuts from the menu to the panel and produce unique icons that way, but when you click an icon that is NOT the chrome icon, it creates a new panel icon for the running program with the classic chrome icon anyway.

You are right, this is a cool idea. I'm digging into it. Might be more work than I want but the functionality is better.

Apparently they are using discord now, and I might give it a shot. Might not be a bad idea to link that in the sidebar here.

I wonder if it's worth the extra cost to ship. Will have to investigate more.

Those are all options. I already use NoMachine to connect to a laptop that can use the VPN, but it occurs to me that literally the ONLY thing I use the laptop for that I couldn't just do on my host machine are those rare (like once a week or less) activities. It would be a lot more efficient workflow to just power off that laptop and connect to the VPN from the host, and turn it off when I'm done.

If I can't find a way to make it convenient, I think a little VM is probably the fastest / least intrusive option but kind of a sledgehammer for a finishing nail.

Better they don't pay at all than they do, you ship, they complain, then return you an empty box or a broken card for a full refund.
