Some AI assistance helped bring the excellent paint.net to Linux - but guess what? The author got harassed by morons who have a very singular interpretation of AI, almost like implying driving any electric car means you're a fan of Elon Musk. Looking forward to auto blocklist notifications now.

Alright everyone, message received. I was not expecting this response, I honestly had no idea before I made the post Like I said, the code is experimental. A proof of concept showing that PDN-on-WINE is possible. It's not finished. I can literally just delete it. It won't be part of the next build.

You'd think that people who care so much about a graphics editor could see shades of grey and not just black and white. I've never had much need for graphic editors, but Paint.NET was my favorite when I was on Windows. Thanks for your hard work all these years.
