Bro really tried to sell his subscribers a “50$ a year” subscription to a “wallpaper” app.
Interesting points about the “app”:
- the app has premium and free wallpapers
- the free wallpapers are only available in sd quality and if you want hd youd have to subscribe
- in order to unlock the sd quality you have to watch two 30 second ads.
- theres a wallpaper called “orange” thats just the color orange
A wallpaper app? What is this, 2008?
And there’s people in the comments being like “its only $5 for my favorite wallpaper app” which I just shake my head and laugh at. What kind of idiot eats this shit up? There’s nothing better you can spend $5 than a shitty jpeg?
Granted, it’s probably my favourite wallpaper app too and I only learned about it yesterday. It’s also my least favourite for the same reason. I’ve never used it, or any wallpaper app, or even knew they are a thing so it wins by default.
my phone tries extra fucking hard to sell me on its built in wallpaper app which has data-scraping permissions out to here also
honestly, samesies
I’m kinda taken aback at how many people are popping in saying they have such things. at almost all usage times I can barely see my bloody wallpaper, too much else going on/present
I always have my windows tiled or maximized so I just keep an epty black desktop background.
My wallpaper is white and subtly stripe patterned and it was in a surprisingly good condition when I moved in.
mine’s xsetroot -solid black so I don’t get a flash of the 80s in the moments before emacs loads and tiles its windows across my displays
it used to be a color I stole from the Amiga’s boot ROM for diagnostic purposes (I was going to do something like the Amiga’s diagnostics for my setup, where you could tell roughly what was broken by the color of the screen) and really I should revisit that one day
