I think you’re underselling Darktable somewhat. Being able to use drawn and parametric masks for basically all the tools, and the granularity at which you can adjust the variables across the entire image makes it incredibly powerful for non-destructive editing of photos. There are also numerous filters and tools which can be used artistically.
But yes, for “photo-shopping” as opposed to photo editing you probably will want GIMP as well.
Vegans manage to boycott the meat and dairy industries. Definitely possible!
Small mention for Darktable as an alternative to Lightroom.
I’m going to repeat Ursula K Le Guin and Margaret Atwood because it’s hard to overstate how much of everything is in their works. Iain (M) Banks I’ll also echo, but will add China Miéville because there aren’t enough anarchists in this thread.
I appreciate you naming more than one female author!
Reynolds sometimes lacks a touch on the human side of his work. That being said, I’ve not read much of his more recent novels so he might have matured since finishing his 10 year contract.
I remember reading an interview of his where he said he wrote his contemporary fiction in order to support his science fiction writing. Whilst they’re still good novels, his regular works didn’t have as much of his soul as his SF.

Even so, the only way my wage is going to keep up with inflation is through promotion. It stiffs people who just want to keep doing what they’re good at and not fail upwards.
Is “slipped” the right word here, like “oops, that accidentally happened”?
It seems more appropriate to call it “forced.”
It is known to protect the liver in specific circumstances, i.e. paracetamol overdoses, but there is not the same body of clinical evidence to support the same hypothesis in relation to alcohol. Even in paracetamol overdoses there is a time limit in its efficacy.
NAC is not a panacea when it comes to drug-induced liver injury.
You’re talking out of your arse pal. Nicotine is the addictive substance in cigarettes and vape fluid. Furthermore, it is still toxic, but vaping is simply less harmful than smoking - not harmless.
Indeed. You can know that your own life is dependant on the exploitation of others whilst working to make that less so.
I have to. The alternative is death.
There is no ethical consumption under capitalism
They only say “a growing trend” of non-clinical treatment without actually giving numbers. Does that mean the absolute numbers are going up, the proportion of non-clinical to clinical are going up, or that more people are talking about it on social media?
The article really doesn’t engage much with what YV actually wrote; she says that she disagrees with him sometimes or that other people disagree, but with very little substance.
Like others have already commented, she’s also excessively obsessed with describing his house and wife. I can’t believe The Observer paid for her to fly out there to write such drivel.
Find a well -rated outdoor store nearby, and go in and ask them to help you find a good pair. Be completely open about having no idea how to fit boots, and try to be as descriptive about the most common issues you’ve experienced. You can usually get free return if you wear them inside the house for a day or two to check fit.
It can be time consuming to find the right pair, but once you find a good pair it’ll make a huge difference and give you somewhere to go from one they eventually wear out.
Don’t take specific brand advice from the internet because everyone’s feet are different shapes. It’s a very individual thing.
