Also, don't you just love it when your screen changes colour over the course of the day just to make sure that whatever you did doesn't quite look right in a few hours time? Ever tried playing a game with a "warm colour" setting on? Completely ruins the feel. "muh games" okay so let's talk about the pretentious artists who use macs? They'll appreciate not knowing if the colour they're planning is the actual colours.
But hey, you can turn it off so no biggie, right?
Oh wait. News flash. Literally everything else has the same option, but just off by default.
Wow apple, such innovation.
Omg Apple did it again.
Magical and revolutionary at the same time.
holy shit wow.

In fact, find me one GNU/Linux distro with f.lux or similar programme installed?
Oh, you can't? Okay, here's what we're gonna do, do a quick google search, just type in "how to improve reading comprehension when you're fucking retarded", and you're all set. When you're done with that, come back, and rethink your argument.

That's just one way to interpret it.
The other way is that it's a kernel with bundled userland programs to enable comfortable user experience.
Both are valid, despite what RMS says.
>>52379968
Nothing is installed by default on Linux you fucking mong.
>>52380017
Yes, manually, which isn't the point of the software, it's that it happens automatically. I realise timers exist, but there is no dedicated programme within any of these operating systems capable of both timing but also timing according to when sunset happens where you live, precisely more or less.
You could also adjust the colours of your iPhone already, but that's not the point of this software, dipshit

>>52380018
Redshift is in the debian repositories and the package is maintained by the distro authors. There's literally no reason to ask for it to be preinstalled, or do you want every single package that's available preinstalled too? Have fun installing a distro for half a day.

>>52380050
But that's my point, you fucking idiot. You can choose on Linux whether or not to use it, Apple has now implemented that you can also choose, without jailbreaking, and they're getting shit why? By that logic, everyone who tries to put this on their devices are stealing, because they're doing the same thing?
Oh no, it's because you have no critical thinking, because all the time you've spent on /v/ has made you angry about how none of Apple's tech is "le gaymen equipment", that you have some need to hate on one of the most successful tech companies ever.
Basically you're retarded, and you hate Apple for no good reason.

not entirely true, but I get your point.
By tweaks, I just mean, at least back when I used to root Android phones, many if not most custom ROMs didn't have that many cool tweaks and "settings". They had some, and it was cool and you could do what you wanted on it, but often you'd have to install third-party "tweaks" so to speak.

I think you will find that flux doesn't actually do anything. it just adds red to everything. Apple's innovative solution likely only adjusts on screen colours that are blue, and just adjusts the curve for that pixel, and doesn't just add red to everything
>>52380481

No? If it exists at all its usually some separate software.
to settle the arguments:
some people may like this. some people might not. if you use your device at home on your couch, chances are you'll like it. if you use it for work and/or like consistency, you might not.
either way, this was already available across all platforms. the fact apple has this in their OS's codebase now simply shows that they're favoring casual consumers over professionals because the "professionals will simply turn it off and who cares about a bit of bloat". this isn't necessarily a bad thing, it just is the way it is.
they do this all the time. do you know any professional user who seriously makes use of any feature introduced after 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard)? Launch Pad, the notification bar, tags in Finder, whatever other bullshit they've come up with? Professional users tend to have a terminal open, a text editor, an IDE, some kind of Adobe product (Photoshop/Illustrator/Indesign/...) or some kind of sound production tool maybe. oh, and of Finder and Mail. you need none of the new features for this, same for this redshift thing they're implementing; on the contrary, it tends to hinder you rather than anything else.
i don't even use the fucking dock. OS X at this point to me is 90% bloat. El Capitan takes away the right to write to /usr/, so i'm staying on yosemite. Apple is going down the road of "fuck the professionals", so i'm going down the road of "fuck apple".
This is actually one of my major gripes with desktop environments. I don't see any reason they wouldn't implement it. Sure, there's Redshift (which I'm happily using) but it's not particularly friendly for the casual user. And I want to switch to Wayland already!
>>52381184
>And I want to switch to Wayland already!
you don't even know why X11 is bad, do you
>>52381184
How would Wayland help that?
If anything it makes it harder to have add-ons like redshift.
>>52381161
Why wouldn't a professional user use launch pad? Its simply an improved version of the old workspace switcher.
Why wouldn't a professional user use Night Shift, bright colors when working at night have always annoyed me.
Why are even talking about OSX when this is clearly an iOS feature, did I miss something?
>>52380700
I know better, but Apple is misleading the majority by saying they thought long, read some studies, and by explaining the concept as if it's something new. Apple drives on marketing, not on innovation.
>>52381247
I'm not saying it would help. I'm saying that I want that functionality and it's stopping me from switching.
>>52378930
Only applefags believe apple marketing literature. Are you an applefag OP?
>>52381503
Why would you want to switch to Wayland right now? It's still pretty much beta software.
>>52378930
The only valid reason for disliking this is the fact that Apple gave the f.lux guys the middle finger when they wanted to add this to the appstore, so it was forced to only run on Jailbroken phones.
Now they implement this feature themselves, essentially cucking f.lux.
It's douchebaggy.
>>52380523
It most likely adjusts the gamma like redshift
>>52381247
That would be a function of the compositor, which need not contain any window management logic
>>52381212
99% xdg/freedesktop faggots filling it with bloat so they could spin their cubes
1% bad design
>>52381675
>That would be a function of the compositor, which need not contain any window management logic
eh yes, a compositor needs window manager logic.
There are no external window managers with Wayland.
>>52381536
Honestly, I wouldn't switch this very moment. But it's not far off. Save for a couple significant caveats, GNOME on Wayland works nicely. And those things are on GNOME's end, mind you.

That's live display a CyanogenMod and OS feature, you probably own a Cyanogen OS phone like the OPO.
So no, AOSP itself doesn't have the feature, it might be added later by oems if they want to.
>>52380151
>But OnePlus One is a chinkphone with a popular ROM that was initially community-made when it started
Does it matter?
It comes with the feature ootb, added by the oem, that was your point before, that nobody added that shit and that apple was supposedly the first, that isnt true, if anything Cyanogen is the first and apple copied them.
>>52379946
>>52380029
It might check your GPS once near sundown, but most phones already check and store geolocation multiple times throughout the day.
And this will be shitty because I bet you either have to have it on or off and can't put it at a custom color temperature. And is this shit going to use GPS constantly?
>>52379455
Even Firefox OS has this feature as an add-on.
Screenshots render ugly, but it seems a lot of people on 2.5 enjoy it.

Thanks, OP.
Because of this thread, I became aware of redshift.
It is now installed and starts with X on my Parabola laptop.
For future reference, however, you may wish to refer to the free counterpart to a proprietary program instead of the proprietary program itself. Had I not checked carefully, I may have been tempted to install f.lux on my machine instead of redshift. Others who are less observant may have been led to install this instead of the more respectful redshift program.
I must also give thanks to the Parabola maintainers, whose active dedication to keeping nonfree software out of their repositories was the first hint I had that this program was not going to respect my freedoms. However, not everyone checks their distribution's repositories first and may wind up with something nonfree on their otherwise free systems, so please make sure to check the licenses of the software you mention in the future, thanks.

Not every GNU/Linux user cares about "nonfree" software being on their machine.
>>52386411
This would actually be more reason to recommend a free program instead a nonfree one. If you do, users who care about their freedom will be able to install it without worry, and the users who don't will still install it, because that a program is free is not usually a strike against the program for them.
But if you recommend the proprietary program, users who care are, at worst, led to install the nonfree program without realising it isn't free or, at best, inconvenienced by having to search for a free replacement.
In the two scenarios above, one case is better for all readers and the other is only good (arguably, as "good" as recommending nonfree software can be) for the users who don't care.
>>52386527
I think people who care enough about running completely free software do their homework before installing a piece of software.
