  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)
