Just that provider, or any one?
(In reply to Nate Graham from comment #1) > Just that provider, or any one? I checked them all, Flickr has the same issue. I used Wikimedia Commons until the other day, so I never noticed.
If I understand the code correctly, the issue comes from [0]. The image is randomly chosen each time, there isn't a daily image provided by upstream. If I may suggest a fix, we could switch to a deterministic function, like going through one image per day in order or using a hash of the date. This would make the code fetch always the same image in any specific day. [0] https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kdeplasma-addons/-/blob/v5.24.4/dataengines/potd/simonstalenhagprovider.cpp#L58
