Why for the love of everything that is good does MS Paint have network trash in it. It's a super simple bitmap editor. Like Notepad, it's simple and just works.

Make a new product and bundle that as an option if you want to drastically change the functionality.

Hate to break it to you..

I mean… what else were the people working on Notepad and Paint to do!?

The order came down to integrate AI, and they wanted to be promoted.

Every single day I’m happier and happier than I use Linux now.

Some distro will default to integrating an AI into bash any day now. It's only a matter of time till less and vim have AI search.
