    No hate, but I actually liked a lot of the photos that they had selected. Lots of international holidays and events called out which was fun. Got worried for a second, since I still have it set as my current wallpaper.

    Then I giggled and remember to myself that I switched to Linux and KDE can pull directly from them without any of the spyware ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
