Found a nice piece of software in my mastodon bookmarks. For the people which can live without a crispy sharp display ;)
It's part of #Debian #Bookworm and called cool-retro-term. There are many options for modding colors, over fonts (like Apple ][) or the jittering/burnin of the display.
The Github project you find here

There is also a precompiled dmg for usage inside MacOS classic.

@Rp12Biker: Did you notice this pun in its name and abbreviation?

Cool Retro Term = CRT = Cathode-Ray Tube?

And glad you like it. (I was slightly involved in its Debian packing.)

@xtaran Thanks for including it into Debian. This saves me from having to build the package by my own.

And no, I didn't notice that of course, thanks for the hint.
