Alt Title: Valve distributes malware unchecked via Steam Workshop
This may be an unpopular opinion, but I think having a DRM-encumbered application running in the background that relies on another large application to launch just so you can have a fancy wallpaper is kind of dumb.
Wallpaper Engine only requires Steam running during setup and grabbing stuff from workshop. After that, it works independently.
ditto, what a weird program
People only learn when they are affected by the consequences of exposing themselves.
Otherwise, this wouldn’t even be news.Stay in school, kids!

Yeah, Lemmy doesn’t have ani social instances dedicated to anime or anything.
I don’t even know how many instances, communities, and users I’ve had to block to stop seeing anime in my feed, and it still comes up regularly despite that.
That’s not a particular criticism of the art form (though I do find the regular depiction of sexualized kids or infantilized adults intensely creepy) but it really is very common here.
This actually has nothing to do with Anime or weebs. This can happen with any fancy wallpaper you get through steam workshop That’s why the title and slant to this story are so frustrating.
