How can I use a shell script to execute 'feh' so that the image that it
puts on the screen will remain there (until I close it) while the shell
script continues with another operation (like kwrite?
For example, I'd like to be able to use something like this:
feh -x -g 400x400 image.jpg; kwrite t
Not sure what signifies but add a '&' to the line to fork it into the
background.
feh -x -g 400x400 image.jpg; kwrite textfile.txt *&*

Something like this:

display image.jpg &

I tried this (which didn't work):
feh -x -g 400x400 image.jpg; kwrite textfile.txt &
But then tried this (which did work):
feh -x -g 400x400 image.jpg & kwrite textfile.txt
Perfect. Just what I needed.

Thanks Matt.
I like to use 'feh' rather than 'display' because 'feh -x -g' gives
a borderless image with no title bar and with a specified image size.
feh -x -g 400x400 & kwrite textfile.txt (this worked)

You start by recognizing the bias for a variety of news sources (THEY ALL

I scan news.google.com headlines once a day and dive into things that look
interesting. I have purposefully not customized the feeds there so that I
get as general a view as possible, though Google does some feed tweaks

Hi Joe,
There is no real media source that is unbiased. Like you said everyone is
spinning the story for their benefit. Trust no single source. I read a bunch
of different sites.
AND I take everything I hear and read with a grain of salt.
I take no print.
If you do not look at multiple
Google has started to tailor what you get based on what they know about you,
which is far more than you might expect. To me this is a problem. It is akin
to telling me what I want to hear, not what I need to know or the truth, if
there really is something called the truth.

Yes, I should start using incognito mode to get a less tailored view from
time to time.

Joe,
Most browsers now have a mode that prevents cookie tracking and other such
methods of correlating you to the places you browse. I don't know who
first called it "incognito" but it's a good name for it.

FYI, Google has been previously caught filtering, editing, or otherwise
ignoring some news items based on it's own bias. I don't have links with
proof; just do a search on it. You can see it sometimes on what they choose
to honor with a google doodle on days when other things may be more
important.
Moral of the story: There's no excuse for not keeping your critical
thinking cap on, at all times, no matter the source.

As depressing as the state of affairs in the world are, I take an RSS of
