Usually those all need to be in the same folder, and you launch unrar with the file with no (if such one exists) or the lowest number (0 of 1) only.

What’s in all those folders?

… Which means that businesses are making ‘too much’ money on top to sink into such endeavors, no?

Thank you!

This is what I came up with.

• a script that does what you need, and reads a kinda ‘config file’ which Konsole instance/window/session to use
• another script that saves the current session into that config file

So you’d save the scripts somewhere you like, and run the useThisSession one in the session you’d like to be the target.

Then, you can run / bind to a shortcut / … the runCommand script, and it will show, raise, set Session, and run the command on the target saved earlier.

useThisSession.sh:

#!/bin/bash
# useThisSession

echo MYCMD_SERVICE=$KONSOLE_DBUS_SERVICE > ~/.config/mycmdrc
echo MYCMD_SESSION=${KONSOLE_DBUS_SESSION#/Sessions/} >> ~/.config/mycmdrc
echo MYCMD_WINDOW=${KONSOLE_DBUS_WINDOW#/Windows/} >> ~/.config/mycmdrc

runCommand.sh:

#!/bin/bash
# runCommand

. ~/.config/mycmdrc

qdbus $MYCMD_SERVICE /konsole/MainWindow_$MYCMD_WINDOW showNormal
qdbus $MYCMD_SERVICE /konsole/MainWindow_$MYCMD_WINDOW raise
qdbus $MYCMD_SERVICE /Windows/$MYCMD_WINDOW setCurrentSession $MYCMD_SESSION
qdbus $KONSOLE_DBUS_SERVICE /Sessions/$MYCMD_SESSION runCommand "echo cmd"

For testing purposes, I’m using "echo cmd" instead of '!!' (note the different type of quotes) to not cause any… unintended… executions.

Running qdbus $MYCMD_SERVICE /konsole/MainWindow_$MYCMD_WINDOW will show you all methods available on the Window, eg, so you can pick&choose from those if you want different behaviour from show (& un-minimize) and raise.

EDIT: syntax adjusted to work in ‘regular’ bash

Soo… If we could figure out how to do the first one via DBus/from the command line, you could put both in a script and bind that to a (global or so) shortcut, and be set. (?)

What qdbus command line exactly are you using to post input to the shell within Konsole?

I’ll have a look later when I’m at my desktop again (and hopefully will remember).

For the vendor (non-)consent thing - Consent-O-Matic provides an appropriate framework.

(Whether such a side would even care about the preference/consent is another matter entirely - I’d suggest a throwaway browser identity and cookie auto delete for a start, anyway.)

Creating rules has a bit of a learning curve the first three or seven times, but I find that more interesting to do than go through a hostile/dark pattern cookie dialog or such the third time.

Hm, maybe the appropriate functionality from CoM could be re-wrapped as a TamperMonkey module…

Web automation for the masses 😱

What exactly does it do / which problem(s) does it solve? Its website reads kinda intentionally vague to me.

Regarding weather: I just love the no-frills at-a-glance presentation of the AF Weather Widget

12ft.io and/or archive.is/archive.today/… are worth trying in such cases (assuming you already have the latest version of the current ByPass addon, see the other comment).

Regarding cookie pop-ups, there’s a little known gem: https://consentomatic.au.dk/

As for the first points, yes, that may happen, but is it a problem for users who already are part of a ‘better’ experience here than on the for-profit platforms?

I, for one, find much better discourse here than anywhere on reddit, let alone Meta or Twitter.

Also exemplified by me engaging much more here than ever on the others. I do prefer quality over quantity - everyone is invited to join the table, but I don’t see much benefit in luring people there who would ultimately only dilute or be disruptive - ie, not really into the thing that’s happening here.

For the last point, well, legislators can certainly try. While telling people it’s all for their benefit and upholding freedom and democracy and equal opportunity and whatnot. And even keep a straight face.

But they happily give it to Threads, no…?

Yes, I know, I’m being somewhat more provocative here than necessary.

More down to reality, thousands of accounts being registered within seconds, possibly all from the same IP, aren’t ordinary user activity. And quite feasible to filter for.

Heck, you could even ask for the eMail and offer some “or, if you rather wouldn’t, you could…” thing that basically serves as a CAPTCHA.

(Disclaimer: I haven’t read into that referenced article by ninja at all, maybe it already says something related)

For one, it may be possible to filter accounts that were created but actually never used to log on, within a week or two of creation - those could go without much harm done IMO.

And/or, you could message such accounts and ask them for email verification, which would need to be completed before they can interact in any way (posting, commenting, voting). That latter one is quite probably currently not directly supported by the Lemmy software, but could be patched in when the need arises.

How would they ensure this latter thing?

In my current understanding, it’s readily possible today (on Lemmy and related software), what could Meta do to keep this from continuing to work?

From my (admittedly, deliberately naive and provocative) perspective, what is the (possible) “added value” of Threads’ ad-infested feed over the community experience straight on Lemmy?

Is it (more) about Meta themselves, or rather about individual users, though?

It allows me to run any weird combination of applications I feel I need on a given day, (fairly) easily integrating basically all open source packages with a custom/local overlay and have those managed as part of the system just like everything else.

“Should ‘we’ do?”

Nothing. If people and/or communities coming in through Threads are engaging in good faith, cool, more nice folks to have a community with. People/communities engaging in bad faith get blocked/defederated as is already common practice (and seems to be working outstandingly already, looking at average quality of posts and discourse “here” as compared to the “big platforms”).

When Meta/Threads is hosting communities I like to see/be a part of, I’ll figure out how to subscribe/integrate those. Besides that, they’re free and welcome to run echo chambers in their own instances and communities, I don’t see how any of that would ever show up on my feed.

I guess this will already have been said, but nonetheless:

I like the feeling of community as it is right now in the Fediverse very much.

Most of me hopes that it will not successfully federate with Meta, ever; or if it “must”, in a way that will be mostly irrelevant to me (communities I wouldn’t subscribe to in the first place, anyway).

I don’t see how that, in turn, would give Meta any control over the parts of the Fediverse that I care about. If they want to join and contribute in good faith, fine. If not, also fine. Why should it change anything for Fediverse “centered” communities?

I never cared about size or majority, but about quality of content and discourse. And I find that in those points, the current Fediverse much outshines anything else I’ve seen (Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, …) in the last decade or so.
