I've been implementing the default "Picture of the Day" plug-in since forever and using that for my wallpaper.

Its fun, changes the image often; there's a small element of excitement each day to see what the wallpaper will be today. There have been a few times where I have been repulsed. But the norm seems to be pleasantly surprised.

There have been a few times (many more than I've been repulsed) where I've been wowed and wanted to save the wallpaper.

~/.cache/plasma_engine_potd/ for anyone who's interested

In those times I've wanted to get some more information about the image on my desktop and I haven't been able. Searching online produces weird results; searching for taht specific providers potd also doesn't always work.

Anyhoo, I just noticed that if you right-click on the desktop, third from teh bottom (for me) there's an "About x" option (where x is the name of the image of the day).

That's a super cool feature. One that I really appreciate.

I don't know when it was introduced (over the past year I would guess), but very helpful.

Just sharing it for others who might find this interesting.

I'm still trying to get used to Lemmy; the main thing confusing me is the federated bit.

I just want to access Lemmy and its content; how do I do that? Currently I'm just going to old.lemmy.world and using that as a starting point.

Is there another instance you would recommend as the default one?

The two main reasons I ask are:

1. I want to know if there are things I am simply missing out on and there's a better way to browse Lemmy.

2. I really don't like cloudflare and have it disabled in Javascript. I don't want to leave it enabled for lemmy.world.

I haven't corroborated any of the data he brings; but it sounds right.

Should be a launchpad, either way, for an interesting discussion.
