Just found the one linked, I like it but I can't find the high resolution version, so I was curious to see where people get theirs.

I don’t know how to access my wallpapers as standalone files so here they are as screenshots: https://imgur.com/a/5HlHDXn

They’re both over a decade old.

The lock screen is a photo I took of an abstract painting at an art exhibit in Boston, at that museum that’s over by the coast in Medford.

The home screen background is a pair of bricks that I noticed one day, that have perfectly symmetrical texturing, meaning they must have been forged together then stayed together all the way up until they were installed.

The bricks are in a sidewalk (or were around 2010) in Cambridge somewhere near Kendall Square. Those are my feet at the bottom.

Can anyone on Lemmy please recommend good ways to find matching wallpapers for dual monitors where one is portrait and the other landscape? My monitors are 1440x2560p and 2560x1440p.

I would use Photoshop or Gimp to make the custom resolution and position and then stretch the highest resolution wallpaper over it. You can always go with two portals if matching doesn't work.

I've had this one since December 2020, I saw it on the Genshin Impact subreddit a few months after release :)

(Also, can anyone tell me how to have images in comments without the URL there, just the image being fully loaded right away?)

Should work if you format it like this:

You're welcome!

Also, if you don't forget like I usually do, you can put alt text that describes the images in the square brackets. That'll help people who rely on screen readers use the site.

Every now and then I pick randomly one from here: https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/archivepix.html

For my phone I use an app called Tapet which generates wallpapers on device from patterns and colour combinations. On my PC I use the Bing wallpaper app.

my current phone wallpaper is the album art of one of Keygen Church's albums.

Just image searched for a Blade Runner 2049 mobile wallpaper and found this one. Was on this site but not sure if it's the original source.

The animated live wallpaper version of this:

It's preinstalled on Pixels but you can sideload it on non-Pixels

I always use astrophotography photos that were posted by regular users on sites like lemmy or reddit. Currently my phone's is this one. And the one on my laptop is this one.

I don't like having detail in my phone bg, and ocean picks are always just the right level of uniform color.

Current background on my phone, used to save OLED backgrounds from the reddit sub back in the day, and now I have like a hundred on my phone. Switch about once per year.
