I didn't think for even a moment that it would be that simple, thank you so much!

Not sure if this is okay here, but I feel like you guys will understand and be able to help!

I've just realised how much I hate how everything is done via browser these days, it really slows me down and kills what semblance of organisation I have.

For example, I mostly use WhatsApp to chat with my gf, I don't reply too much because I don't like interrupting what I'm doing to type on my phone's crappy keyboard when I'm at a computer, and my ADHD makes switching between phone and PC really disruptive.

I can use WhatsApp we, but it's always logged out (need my phone again, though this won't fix it), but mostly, I just can't find the bloody thing among a bunch of tabs and windows. The same goes for tons of stuff I need to switch between a lot that are accessed via browser.

I just want the programs I'm using to be open, and appear in the task bar with their own icons so I can switch to them.

What I want are basically containers for a browser. So I hit the button for the 'program' which really just launches a browser that goes to the specific address, and ideally, can retain login information, and appears as a distinct item in the task bar, with it's own icon, and cannot simply be merged with my browser.

Give that loads of desktop software is just chromium in a container, I feel like this shouldn't be too much of a technical hurdle. Any ideas? I didn't realise that this was such a problem until I thought about it!

Examples? I would love some free billions!

I think I would take monarchy over whatever this corpo hellscape is. At least a monarch can be overthrown. How can you overthrow a multi-national corporation? by gundog48 in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

A company is much easier to crash than a monarch or government. A government will lock you up or kill you for planning to overthrow them.

There's a really nice nozzle cam available for Voron now. You have to print the front cover part again, but it has a housing for a 4K nozzle cam. Much more pricy, but incredible quality, invisible and a bit easier to connect.

Yeah, it runs Klipper so the Pi is doing most of the crunching and also acts as a webserver. A long USB cable to your computer or phone also gets the job done. It's mostly to help with tuning and diagnosis, because you can actually see what's happening rather than just seeing the effects of what happened, and is meant to be removed after use, but I've still been daily driving it!

Been running for months now in a heated chamber! These cameras should be easy to adapt to most printers. It was only supposed to be a temporary addition to fit for troubleshooting, but it's holding up to almost constant use really well!
