"WallMod" -> wallpaper manager and modifier and autosetter. Kinda like wallpaper engine but instead tailored specifically to static images since I don't like animated ones personally. https://github.com/DefrimBinakaj/WallMod

Open to suggestions :)


It is essentially a wallpaper browser, modifier, and manager for jpg/png/bmp images (NOT live wallpapers).

Features that make it unique: - ability to set only a specific area of an image as your background without creating a new image - filter and sort by aspect ratio and colour among other common ones - infinite length history of all set wallpapers that you can go back to and instantly set again - ability to set any image as a wallpaper no matter the size (for example, windows doesn’t let you set images larger than about 10m pixels)

I got sick of using the built in windows wallpaper manager because of its clunkyness, performance, and generally low amount of features, so I built this instead.

I plan to support virtually all Linux DEs in the future, and OSX if possible as well. I also plan to add support for built-in "cronjobs" where a user can set automatically-changing wallpapers where they can specify either time of day or amount of hours until next wallpaper is toggled.

Still in early stages of development, but I would really appreciate any feedback and feature suggestions. Love to give back to the community so I hope at least one of you finds this interesting!


While you make a good point, I think it's safe to say that Youtube is quite a lot more significant for the average person than facebook is.

Say that I wanted guides or tutorials on fixing something in my car, in-depth steps for making a certain recipe, or even programming courses. Youtube is easily one of the best resources for all of these and everything in general.

Saying to write-off one of the internet's best tools just because they've pushed out mv3 seems like giving up too quickly for me.

If you find value in it, why don't you reward the people creating that value?


The people creating that value get very little from ad revenue. Google keeps most of the money. This is why many creators are turning to Patreon, etc.


Something that not a lot of people are mentioning is that north american made VAG (vw, audi, etc) cars are made in factories that have shown much less reliability. Everybody in Europe praises VW for how affordable and reliable they are (since they're made in-house in Germany for the most part) - excluding the 2009-2014 years since they had quite a bad Golf line in terms of reliability


So how come American-made Toyotas and Hondas top the list?


Because they care more about north american consumers, seemingly


"The stunt by Tesla by shooting a .45 caliber bullet at the cyberpunk doesn’t prove it’s bullet proof.

A 45 is a low-velocity round with a very large blunt nose.

If they shot it up with an ak47 round or a 5.56 out of a AR15, they would have made Swiss cheese out of that door panel.

There are many high-velocity pistol rounds that would do this also. One is a 5.7mm or a .22 magnum."
