Just found out that the Gimp alternative “Pinta” shares its name with a rare human skin disease caused by infection with the spirochete treponema carateum (apparently). Which of course is miles better than sharing it with a slur for disabled people, but still not the best SSO.

I’ve never heard gimp used that eay luckily, only the sexual slave fetish thing. Pinta is more of a paint.NET alternative than a gimp alternative

Pinta is more like a fancy paint alternative. It has layers but it way more accessable than gimp
