   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)
