    as if your average linux user wouldn't use the terminal to change the desktop background.

        Here is example of simple bash script:

        #!/bin/bash

WP="$(find ~+ -type f -exec mimetype {} + 2>/dev/null | awk -F': +' '{ if ($2 ~ /^image\//) print $1 }' | sort -R | tail -30 | shuf -n 1)"

dconf write /org/mate/desktop/background/picture-filename "'${WP}'"

        lmao

            wdym, this is so easy to read:

            https?:\/\/(www\.)?[-a-zA-Z0-9@:%._\+~#=]{1,256}\.[a-zA-Z0-9()]{1,6}\b([-a-zA-Z0-9()@:%_\+.~#?&//=]*)

              You joke, but that's very straightforward to me.

              https, or nothing

              ://

              www., or nothing

              1-256 of these chars: [-a-zA-Z0-9@:%._+~#=]

              Until you get to a "." followed by:

              1-6 of these chars:[a-zA-Z0-9()]

              Any line break

              0+ of these chars: [-a-zA-Z0-9()@:%_+.~#?&//=]

                I mean, yeah it's really not too bad when you really dig into it. But it's still just a mess.

                Although your "https, or nothing" is actually "http, optionally s"

                That one isn't even completely right. It gets a lot of false positives AFAIK (example: https://..com). The real thing is even worse.
