Microsoft Paint has been marked for death:

The era of Microsoft Paint appears to be coming to an end with the upcoming release of the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update. The image-editing application is officially being classified by Microsoft as a "deprecated feature," as noted by The Guardian. That means that, come this fall, Paint will "not be in active development and might be removed in future releases."

I go hard in the paint.

Also at PCWorld and Smithsonian.

  No. Is he the result of crossing Lennard Poettering with Harry Potter? ;-)

    Pottering, Pöttering, Poettering *shrug*

    A systemd by any other other name would smell as bad.
