Losing Lena #13

Open marado opened 2 years ago

By reading an interesting article about the "Lenna image" (here Lenna.png) made me find out about https://www.losinglena.com/ and think - admittedly for the first time - about the consequences of its use. So... here's my tiny contribution: lets "lose Lena" from shellpic?

Hi @marado! It's been a while :)

At the time i wrote shellpic i found i humorus to use the Lenna image for this silly project, but this has not aged well. It is hostile to women in tech and should not be used.

Thank you for giving me this nudge. Give me a few days and it will be removed.

(I have not yet read the article so there might be other reasons for removing this image as well)
