Are there any tools to analyse/modify colours directly from a bash script?
I am on Arch Linux and I am using pywal to generate a colour palette from my wallpaper, which I then use throughout my system. In particular, i have a bash script which grabs these colours and uses them for polybar. The problem is that sometimes these colours do not have enough contrast, and the bar is hard to read. Is there any tool that would allow me to check the readability of my colours, and modify them accordingly, directly from my script? If not, how should I be approaching this issue?

Best way to switch themes on the fly in Sway?
I'd definitely look into pywal for that, it's like a colorscheme manager that fills in templates (some already implemented but it also supports user templates) from either a color scheme you define or by color picking an image

Is there a way to disable texture filtering on thumbnails in Nautilus? It would make it easier to see pixel art.
Try using feh, from terminal navigate to the directory where you store your pixel arts, then execute: feh -i --force-aliasing -b trans Option -i is for index mode, --force-aliasing disable the AA during zoom-in/out, -b trans uses checker box patterns for transparent, otherwise black BG by default. Also, use the up and down arrow keys for zoom.
