Digital or physical?

Don't have one!

Mainly for games and Adobe stuff. Really wish they (Adobe) would port to Linux, since they've already done it for mac [/bsd], but they've got a captive market, and are probably taking graft from Apple and Microsoft both to not.

mine's really boring, it has some kind of space bg like the one on Kos's but its just one 1440p screen. I don't really care what the things around and behind the thing I'm looking at, look like. 

I like your wallpaper fuckerer script thing, make it upload the pic somewhere and make me a thing that downloads it and assigns it, please :C Or just the first bit and I'll do the second one myself, in fucking Windows.

I have a recycle bin but shift-delete at all times. Silly things.

When it makes one I particularly like I do save them. So I have a directory of them. I'll zip it up and share.

Here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=17-1I-dmpypP-cVuw789ULvb5FALgIq8j

(Some of them predate the addition of the fake aberration)

It'd definitely be possible to recreate the script for fucking Windows since it just uses ffmpeg and imagemagick. But I wouldn't know how. Could use WSL, that'd be fun!

I remember around 5 years ago I got a big folder of images from Google satellite of various locations. I think they were mainly industrial, geometric looking, had them cycling through as my background at my last job. Wonder if I can find the folder.

That sounds cool.

I had a script ages ago that got a random Wikipedia pic of the day from the pic of the day archives and made that my wallpaper every hour or so. Was all grand, some nice pics in there, until I started getting pictures of diseases and famines and atrocities and stuff.

Yeah, that goes grim quickly.

Think it was a collection from - https://earthview.withgoogle.com/

Oh, there's a map too https://new-images-preview-dot-earth-viewer.appspot.com/map/

I've been exploring GoogleEarth VR for aberrations in the procedural modelling, and some of my screengrabs have made it to the desktop.

I was quite impressed the other day looking at how much had been made 3D.
Wanted to check if a canal path joined to a bridge to plan a walk and didn't expect it to be so clear.

The answer was no, so I walked elsewhere.

It miffed me a bit. Keighley has not yet been modelled, and it's a little - pointedly ignored, I felt - absence amid a sea of dodgy procedural modelling.

No Taskbar/Dock/Menu and no desktop icons. Use Command+Space on Mac and Windows key on Windows and type to search for the app I want to open or switch to.

Same problem as Kos. Left hand screen is Macbook Pro and middle and right are two 24" monitors. Two different DPIs and resolutions, but I rarely use the Macbook for much other than email or slack, so it doesn't bother me too much.

This is my current desktop. Despite having three screens, I don't use them for my main PC, only for my work laptop. Well, I also use the left hand screen for my Silicon Graphics machines from time to time...

When the internet as we know it was in its infancy in the early '90s, my brother worked on an Indigo at a medical research laboratory, and showed me the mosaic browser in action on it.

ISTR they cost ~US$7Kat the time.
