I've turned into the people I "hate".

Ok, I guess hate's way too strong a word. It's hate, like I hate Black Cherry Kool-Aid. It's just not right, and I don't understand how anyone could possibly like it. It's that sort of 'hate'.
Then again, there's no accounting for taste, I suppose.
There's also the possibility that my subconscious wanted to share the pic of my son, and the only way it would get my conscious mind to do the work of posting would be to wrap it up in a seemingly off-topic post of pathetic self-loathing.
Then again, maybe I shouldn't overanalyze.
Edit: I've edited my post's title to help people understand that it's "hate", like with air-finger-quotes, not hate, like with loathing.

Why would you hate that people have pictures of their loved ones as desktops? Sometimes it looks kinda tacky when they take a small picture and stretch it to some massive size.
It's like the most simple and effective thing that anyone (who isn't really familiar with computers) can do to make it more personal for them.

I can't personally welcome you the the horde, but hurray, you're one of them now. Don't feel bad about it, if anything, feel bad if you have no personal photos up. My job involves/involved going to everyones workstation and having been to about 1500 or so across a city, only times I felt "weird" at a desk was when the person had no family/friend photos. It's a personal choice, but if you live there 40 hours a week, it just makes more sense to make it feel more like home.

And I'm "hating" it.
True - I've got a few actual photos up - it's just the desktops that bother me. I've never been able to figure out why. And I still can't

Yes, very much so. And thank the stars for that.
