• Hey! I made a small python script to periodically change the desktop background on Ubuntu 20.04LTS

  This is why I found variety which does the exact same thing though it also has some config options and the option to get different images from online sources. Source: over 1 year ago

• Wallpaper engine on Steam Deck Desktop Mode.

  There's a similar native Linux program called Variety that is likely easier to set up and use. Source: over 1 year ago

• Is there an alternative to wallpaper engine on Linux for gnome

  Theres also numerous Gnome extensions for Wallpapers, and I have been using this http://peterlevi.com/variety. Source: over 1 year ago

• Wallpaper engine alternative on Linux Mint

  I really like Variety: https://peterlevi.com/variety/ (I don't think you can grab animated wallpaper, but maybe you can). I actually use it to grab images from r/SkyPorn, r/EarthPorn, r/waterporn, r/DessertPorn & r/EarthPorn. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Last time it took me 30 minutes

  Pfff... Or you can just use Variety and eliminate the need to even download new wallpapers altogether. 🙄. Source: almost 2 years ago

NewsBlur mentions (20)

• After more than 20 years, I published my first dirty project

  I also use it for its Popular Bookmarks - I subscribed to its RSS feed in NewsBlur and always have something interesting to read when my other feeds are Empty (they rarely are). - Source: dev.to / 7 months ago

• Killed by Google

  There's a bunch of replacements. I like https://newsblur.com but there are 4-6 large-ish similar sites. That said, partially what people miss is the relative cultural hegemony of Google Reader. It was RSS front-and-center, prominently featured on websites, supported by the biggest company in tech, with all the users there and able to take advantage of the (sparse) social features. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Ask HN: Alternatives to Reddit

  Https://newsblur.com/ I think this might be pretty close to what you're looking for. It's an RSS feed reader with a platform for discussions. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• With Reddit sunsetting, I'm looking back to RSS. What are the best current tools?

  Currently I'm on Newsblur. But it's really convoluted to Self host - to my "shame" I use their cloud hosted app with premium. It's (over)laden with features that I actually use and cheaper than for example Feedly. Source: 11 months ago

• Ask HN: What other news feeds do you read besides Hacker News?

  I start every day with RSS subscriptions using NewsBlur (https://newsblur.com) and Reeder (https://reederapp.com). I've also set up a page so other people can see my subscriptions / what I'm reading: https://sources.werd.io. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago
