The full story
Jefferson Rodrigues wanted GNOME to change its lock-screen wallpaper automatically. He forked an existing background extension and used Claude to add picture providers, including a fixed image, random local files and online photos.
The next picture is prepared after unlocking and cached for the next lock. The repository specifies GNOME Shell 51 and keeps the previous image if fetching a replacement fails. Unsplash requires an access key, with a Picsum fallback when no key is supplied; the README also explains how to disable and uninstall the extension.
