Chain of Thought, according to a quick search
NatKarmios··on ArcBrush – Node-based 2D image editor
I've occasionally looked around for a node-based image editor (á la Blender, but for 2D), and I've only found simple proofs-of-concept. When discussing Photoshop alternatives, I often find the lack of smart layers and other non-destructive editing to be a painful gap; this is a bit of a paradigm shift towards the other extreme.
NatKarmios··on Ask HN: How are you all staying sane?
Lots of people suggesting consuming news / social media in a reserved and more healthy way. I agree, but I also suggest a step further; get involved in local community. You'll feel a much greater sense of agency and can have a measurably positive impact on people's lives when you're not so focused on the global stage.
NatKarmios··on How I use Obsidian (2023)
I have stub notes for people I've met, and link to them in the journal section of my daily note when I've met them; I can then check the backlinks on that person's note when I want to check where I've seen them before.
NatKarmios··on 'Carspreading' is on the rise – and not everyone is happy about it
It's bewildering how the ludicrously large American cars feel even more cramped on the inside than standard British fare.
NatKarmios··on Show HN: Unflip – a puzzle game about XOR patterns of squares
Tangentially related, have you heard of Bombe? It's a hexagonal minesweeper where you write rules to solve every possible scenario. It even checks your rules' satisfiability via SMT.
NatKarmios··on React Flow, open source libraries for node-based UIs with React or Svelte
It's a lovely library :) I'm using it in my work on general interfaces for symbolic execution debugging.
NatKarmios··on Niri – A scrollable-tiling Wayland compositor
I'm in a similar situation; I think QuickShell [1] could be a compelling option, particularly premade configs for it like DankMaterialShell [2] (which is intended for Niri).

NatKarmios··on Valve Software handbook for new employees [pdf] (2012)
I don't have the precise link to hand (sorry) but Chet posts frequently on TikTok, I recall seeing him say this.
