That’s genius. I was always more of a screenshot-your-desktop-then-set-it-as-wallpaper-and-hide-taskbar-and-icons kinda guy but that one is so damn subtle it probably just leads to people thinking everything works normally except that it feels ever so slightly off, but they can’t put their finger on it.

No, I’m talking about the hypothetical algorithm that fills a page with things you might be interested in.
