Glad to see ArtStation is included. Might finally give me enough impetus to write a script to change my wallpaper daily

The following will give you "#1 wallpaper of the day" as decided by the wise folks at Reddit:

  curl -A 'random' "https://www.reddit.com/r/wallpaper/top.json?t=day&limit=1 | jq -r '.data.children[0].data.preview.images[0].source.url' | sed 's/preview\./i\./g'

And if you're a Mac user, the following will change the background:

  osascript -e 'tell application "Finder" to set desktop picture to POSIX file "<path to the picture>"'

Glueing these two pieces should be trivial :)

The call to curl is missing a closing " pair. Besides, it seems some people submit a low-res image at the post, then post another link as the first reply, which is the case today:

Care to adjust the jq a bit to look for both, then maybe somehow compare the resolution of the two and download the better one?
