Little Schemer got basically milkshake-ducked for me.

The Murderbot series of novellas though: so far, so good.

I once again was looking at the amber toned CRTs of my youth, probably partly inspired by the TVA in Loki.

I spent some time looking to see if you can use a custom shader with Wayland and I cannot see how. I did find some instructions for doing it with X11, I might try it and decide if I want to switch back.

tbh Wayland has not been a big win and many things (for me) are worse, such as keyboard handling. The one thing which is better, is that multitouch gestures work out of the box with Firefox and Chrome for Wayland. (And I have a Chromebook with a touchscreen, running Ubuntu).

In the end, I didn't really need a custom shader, at least for the terminal. I just set my foreground color to amber, told TERM=vt100 and run tmux and my whole world is (two) shades of amber.

(but but but I might try it anyway, for the kick of being able to browse the web in monochrome)
