is it just a (baseless) meme?
It works pretty well for me desu senpai
Idk senpai
>>54468944
Its a bit exaggerated but nice to have nevertheless
>not using redshift
>>54468944
Here's a (you) for (you).
It makes your screen dimmer at night. It doesn't cure cancer, but it objectively dims your screen at night.
>>54468944
>inb4 "OMG it totes changed mai life!!!"
>>54468944
No, there are several studies showing that blue light produces more stress on the eyes and prevents sleeping.
I guess it's only effective if you spend A LOT of time in front of your computer.
>>54468944
It's a scientific fact that blue light wakes you up.
Remove blue to sleep better
>>54468979
>Here's a (you) for (you)
Fuck off you annoying retard. You're not even using that cancerous meme right.
>>54468944
it works, but if you don't need it doesn't mean it's useless
I literally cannot browse without a dark theme, for example; it's physically painful
>>54469002

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photophobia
>>54469049
I think I'm going to die soon...
>>54468944
I use it at work for not burning my eyes
It does dim the screen. Useful for late night browsing in the dark.
A better question is why the fuck don't monitors support backlight dimming from the OS like laptops?
>>54469077
A friend had it and he just had to put some drops on his eyes for some time and it disappeared. You should go to a doctor to check your eyes.
>>54469161
Seems like there's still hope for me, thanks.
>>54468973
I'll bite. What is redshift and how is it any better than flux?
>>54469506
Free as in freedom version for people who aren't cucks.
>>54469506
It's the equivalent of flux for Linux. Needs a better GUI, but it works fine.
>>54469506
Foss alternative to flux
No you retard it's objective fact that the human eye has receptors sensitive to blue light which inhibit sleep-inducing chemicals. Removing blue light helps your body relax at night. Try using something like flux for a few days and then turn it off at 11pm, your eyes will literally be in pain, like looking at the sun.

why did Bill resort to using some secretary for a bj?
if i was married to her i would feed her cum every chance that i get
>>54469581
He got greedy
>>54469581
She don't look like that no more broski.
>>54469596
but monica was fugly
>>54469602
even now she can fulfill my mommygf fetish, i would literally fuck her in all of her holes
I'm using it for years, I'm not bothered by the yellow light anymore at night.
A few days ago at night my eyes were hurting me so I check and see f.lux was off I turned it on again and the pain flew away. I don't think it's a meme atleast for me
I use it when I'm reading a book on my phone at night, but having f.lux shift my whole screen red at like 7PM is obnoxious
>>54468944
It took me a while to get used to but I can't browse at night without it anymore.
It's significantly less stress on my eyes at night.
I can browse till the morning and my eyes won't be tired.
Though I still turn it off for movies and TV shows because it fucks with the color too much.
>circadian rhythm
>baseless
dumb softwareonly babies
I love F.lux and it's very comfy but I didn't notice any changes to my sleep at all
>>54468944
f.lux for my computers
Twilight/LiveDisplay for my android phone
meme glasses for everything else (pic related)
>>54469506
Im not even a linux tard and i consider redshift way better than f.lux.
It works better than f.lux (imo), while being way lighter in resources and having more customizable options.
Anyways, if you are on windows id recommend to use RedshiftGUI instead, its based off an old release but it works.
OP I honestly can't tell.
Been using it for a few months now and as far as I can tell, it doesn't help me fall asleep any easier.
It mostly just annoys the shit out of me because of how orange everything is.
>>54469034
I only use dark themes for everything but it doesn't physically hurt me to use white ones. I just feel like it's more straining to my eyes. Android's menus are the bane of my existence, I want ICS dark menus back.
>>54470066
> I want ICS dark menus back.
I'm glad I'm stuck with ICS; I've seen all those white menus, it's horrible.
>>54468944
works for me
easier on my eyes

It's literally like 3 button clicks on my Dell. I don't understand why autists need a program to do this for them.
for the minimalists: http://www.tedunangst.com/flak/post/sct-set-color-temperature
>>54468944
my eyes thanked me for this.
>>54468944
Do NOT install that!! I did a couple days ago and it fucked my monitor up and the screen was tinted red so I had to throw it away and buy a new one that comes in the mail tomorrow
shitty program makes it look like someone smeared shit on your screen and you're looking through a shit-brown tinted filter and everything is just so ugly and ugh this shit program needs to get flushed already
Dunno about all the science business behind it, but it definitely helps with the eyes. If you turn it off around midnight it's like staring into the sun.
>>54468944
No, f.lux is great
>>54468944
I don't know what this is but this would make one hell of a wallpaper. Very comfy looking.
>>54472000
Fell for the meme
>easier for the eyes
>at night
Why only at night? I want to relax my eyes all day too
>>54469137
My Samsung monitor has it built in.
>>54472027
Nah, there are times where I physically could not use my computer without f.lux. The only meme being fallen for here is the everything is a meme meme, and you're the one that fell for it.
>>54472059
Essentially everything outside of the physical world is a meme.
>>54469581
Monica looks better at any age than Hillary. Cheating was the clear choice. Had he not he'd have been cheating himself!
>>54468944
>makes my screen piss color during the night
>harder to concentrate on things and eyes start to strain
this is a fucking meme
>>54472035
Because blue light helps you focus. Red light at night so you don't fuck up melatonin production so you keep your sleep cycle normal.
Does anyone use the extended range and like it? I don't feel like restarting my computer to see for myself.
How expensive would it be for the filthy monitor manufacturers to slap on a couple lux sensors on their screens like smartphones have had for ages?
Auto brightness and colour composition management based on surrounding light to deliver relatively true color should be a thing on every screen on the planet by now.
>>54468944
>is it just a (baseless) meme?
No, it's backed by scientific knowledge.
>>54469693

Makes it transition over the course of an hour rather than in 20s

>People with photophobia will avert their eyes from direct light, such as sunlight and room lights. They may seek the shelter of a dark room.
This is me.
>Neurological causes for photophobia include:
>Autism spectrum disorders[13]
...
>>54474117
Apple does this. Software like mpv can even use it to auto-adjust the gamma.
>>54474117
>How expensive would it be for the filthy monitor manufacturers to slap on a couple lux sensors on their screens like smartphones have had for ages?
they all have webcams less than an inch from the screen, which should be sufficient
>>54474117
>Auto brightness
Literally the only reason it's due to software and them being jews, but you can get something to do this with any screen on *nix
http://www.hughski.com/colorhugals.html
>and colour composition management
That's quite more expensive, an accurate sensor isn't cheap
The main reason why it isn't implemented it's that you can easily change the brightness with the keyboard, and you hardly ever need to change it in a desktop, since it remains in the same place always, also power savings are minimal unlike with phones
>>54469534
Get raped and kill yourself, you retarded fucking faggot sack of hit with down syndrome.
It's the reason I can sleep properly.
>>54475155
I don't know about the whole sleep claims, but it is definitely easier on the eyes at night.
>>54474814
Calm down pajeet
>looking at 27000k at night
>turn f.lux off to see the difference
mfw
>>54475945
damn forgot the pic
>>54474120
Where is the scientific knowledge that indicates that people are physically incapable of using computers because of blue light?
>>54472059
>>54470066
>straining to my eyes
that's called physically hurting
>>54476662
Don't need any when it's happened to me. You can not believe it all you want though, I'll continue using this non-placebo program.
>>54476662
I wasn't talking about some retarded anon on /g/, I was talking about f.lux
>>54472649
It's a one time restart, idk why you'd need to do it again...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosensitive_ganglion_cell
>They play a major role in synchronizing circadian rhythms to the 24-hour light/dark cycle, providing primarily length-of-day and length-of night information. They send light information via the retinohypothalamic tract (RHT) directly to the circadian pacemaker of the brain, the suprachiasmatic nucleus of the hypothalamus. The physiological properties of these ganglion cells match known properties of the daily light entrainment (synchronization) mechanism regulating circadian rhythms.
>The photopigment of photoreceptive ganglion cells, melanopsin, is excited by light mainly in the blue portion of the visible spectrum (absorption peaks at ~480 nanometers[5]).
Get educated you dumb piece of shit
>>54468973
> how to plebian 101
>>54469693
I like it when my whole screen changes color in a seconds it's comfy
>>54468944
it's good but too buggy and laggy.
>>54468944
justgetflux man. It's not like it uses up much space or it's annoying.
I just like it since my monitor is way to bright in the dark without it.
>>54468944
>not using redshift
f.luxfags should kill themselves and leave this board
f.lux is fucking shit. Just use sunsetscreen instead.
>>54469002
Here's your (fag)

Redshift nigga
>>54474814
You can spot the phoneposters because "shit" gets auto-corrected.
>>54478097
Arent they basically the same shit but made from different people?
>>54479233
I thought f.lux was proprietary and redshift was free or something like that?
>>54469581
Because that hot chick he married started acting like his wife.
>>54479265
But i mean in functionality.
>>54479350
They work a little differently but yeah they serve the same purpose: blue-light reduction on your screen based on the time
