Chris (moving to jade.moe)Desktop background thread: what are you currently using?
My most frequent wallpaper is this field of flowers I found on Unsplash.
nev@brainblasted this photo of a tarantula in the desert from reddit (can't find original post tho).
kepstin@brainblasted That said, I took a photograph back in 2010 that I used as a wallpaper on most of my systems for a while.

brennen@brainblasted i use a tiling WM, so i don't really see the desktop background much at all and just have it set to a solid color, but my nearest equivalent is probably the output of pngphoon[0], which i use as a lock screen and wind up seeing pretty often.
i also use a friend's web extension called "a photographic start" to get pretty pictures in new browser tabs: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/a-photographic-start/

It’s alright, ma
infinite love ⴳ@brainblasted either the picture that comes up first on the splash screen for https://birdsounds.media or my cover photo on my profile (both taken by me)
pancakes🔜Bed@brainblasted I've had this on my laptop forever now. I should prolly change it.
Be@brainblasted I don't look at my desktop a lot so I just stick with Fedora's defaults 🤷
Shrig 🐌@brainblasted Oooh we both have flowers huh? Been using this one on my personal laptop for about a year now I think:

Woozle Hypertwin@brainblasted a photo I took in our front yard back in May
More:
Doc Edward Morbius ⭕@woozle Your front yard looks an awful lot like sky.
@dredmorbius @woozle She said in the front yard, not of the front yard.
@dredmorbius We keep bits of the sky in our front yard, for easy reference.
Also sometimes the moon. During those times, the moon belongs to us and nobody else can have it. We're hoping Jeff Bezos will land there and then we can trap him in a jam jar.
@woozle I mean, if that's your jam, then sure, I guess 😺
@dredmorbius Making sandwiches might be the best use for all that bread he has.
Maybe we could use Jeff as an ingredient for cockroach bait. It would take a lot of jam to overcome the bad taste, though... and he might convince them all to become venture capitalists.
(Some loose bits left over after the assembly of this joke include: Kochroaches, Roachbros, and "Smuckerberg: with a name like that...")
FiXato@woozle cockroaches supposedly can survive a nuclear apocalypse... I'd hate to think that some of Jeff would survive that...
@dredmorbius @brainblasted
@dredmorbius @brainblasted
@FiXato There would ultimately be a little bit of Jeff in all of us. We are all techbro media starstuff.
@woozle Michael J. Fox has no Bezos in him.

I Forget@brainblasted Currently on my laptop: this photo I took several years ago of a magnolia seed pod.
@brainblasted a #dailyPhoto of #ShivaTheCat looking into the camera while holding her toy mouse. Sadly it's from my #PhotoArchives as she's no longer with us.
@brainblasted (as for PC desktop background, I'm not quite sure; will have to check when I get to my laptop. My lockscreen on it is some pink flowers at least.)
Abbie NormalI'm currently using this one
Previously I used a very similar one taken on the same beach but with some people in it
Jasper 🍉@brainblasted i've got a script that rotates lots of them every six hours or something.... But it got a bug and currently it's nothing.. (a black background)
Here is one: hmm this one doesn't have a description. It's screenshot from youtube.. _probably_ the applied science channel? It's a electron microscope image of a accelerometer. It vibrates differently based on acceleration and uses measured capacitance to measure that. Interlocking the sawtooth pattern is to increase the capacitance.
zbrown@brainblasted still on fc33's rotating earth
murph@brainblasted One of the best pictures I've ever taken. (scaled down) From Bryce National Park
Lea de Groot@brainblasted on those very, very, very! rare occasions where I see my background, I am all "oh, is that what I have?" and its whatever set of his photos my other half has set on the server... #coveredInWindows
