Is this a meme?

fuck off retard
Good idea in concept but

only good if you're some basic computer user that does nothing graphically

Fuck no, it's the only way I can get a decent night's sleep.

how you want your color accuracy? JUST
>>54626901
Hot.
>>54626901
This is a work-safe board, anon.
>>54626213
No? I don't think so, ive actually noticed I can fall asleep easier since I use my PC at night
>>54627308
lol
>>54626213
Helped with headaches, placebo or not, so I'll keep using it.
>>54626230
The vast majority of people who use computers in a dimly lit room probably aren't using it for color editing work.
For everyone else, it's easy enough to temporarily disable, or exit out of entirely.
>>54626213
It's definitely easier on my eyes. I use something similar on my phone (CyanogenMod's built in) and Linux. I don't know if it's helping me to fall asleep faster, but as I said, my eyes aren't all fucked up.
>>54626320
Same here. I swear to god my sleep improved when I started using it.
Although:
>Darkroom mode
I re-downloaded f.lux to put on my laptop and I only now noticed that this mode isn't available now. Did they remove it?
Also, is there not a f.lux for Xubuntu, or am I was I just being retarded when I tried to install it on my Linux machine? (total noob).
>>54626213
>installed this shit
>computer never woke up from standby
>uninstalled this shit
>>54626921
>>54627308
OC. I gimped that shit up, just for you.
>>54626213
Yes.
>>54626213
Flux's development is based on a great deal of research. You can access it on their site. Whether the effects are worth it for you is a personal matter. I think circadian rhythm lighting/dimming is going to pop up in many places within the next few decades. Even today, it's getting built into iOS and android.
It will take a while for LED light-bulbs to mimic this effect while remaining cheap enough for homes.
Yes, it's a meme. But it's a good meme!
>>54627449
I use redshift for linux. It doesn't have as many features but it does the same thing.
>>54626213
Blue light doesn't help your bodie's sleep cycle, especially when you are using your phone/desktop before you go to sleep
>>54627741
Thanks bro. I know there are a lot of knockoff programs that don't really have the same effect (EasyEyes on Android, for example), but I will give this a shot.
>>54627950
Yeah, redshift is solid, recommended
>>54626213
I'm using this in my office. Feels good. It doesn't really make my hurt while doing officework.
use it for 3 hours and then randomly disable it, that will tell you enough
It helps me sleep.
ymmv.
>>54626230
Very few people have calibrated monitors, and no one has calibrated eyes.
I just lowered all my monitors' brightnesses to the lowest value and I have zero eye strain.
>>54626213
If it is, it's a damn good one.
>>54626213
The theory checks out. The implementation? I dunno. It doesn't seem to slowly change colours as indicated by the day/night cycle graph, it doesn't adjust the day/night cycle for where you are on the globe (or not accurately), and when it does change between day/night, it slows down everything on my computer.
Feels like f.lux could be MUCH better.
>>54629477
>it doesn't adjust the day/night cycle for where you are on the globe (or not accurately)
of course it doesn't automatically detect where you are.
you put in your location with GPS coordinates, or name a nearby city.
>and when it does change between day/night, it slows down everything on my computer.
s/computer/potato/, apparently
>>54629497
>you put in your location with GPS coordinates, or name a nearby city.
I did, and it's barely accurate. It doesn't seem to update for time of year or anything.
>s/computer/potato/, apparently
As shit as my laptop is, it's still capable of running many modern games. Yet somehow when f.lux does its thing, EVERYTHING else on my computer has to wait for it to finish.
I think my point still stands; it feels like f.lux could be MUCH better.
If it was something good or needed it would have been built into Windows 10 by now, but its not and its bloatware botnet trash that just fucks up your colors.
>>54627452
>implying
>>54627950
Cyanogenmod just got a feature built called LiveDisplay.
I am loving it.
Does the same thing as f.lux.
>>54627950
Twilight does the job pretty well for me.

yeah I bet it's totally flux making your potato slow down, dad
>>54631515
It's not when it's idling it's when it transitions.
>>54626213
it does make for easier viewing at night, try it for a while, if you don't notice the difference, uninstall it
>>54627741
Install redshift and redshift-gtk (needed to have a tray icon) from the official repositories. Just type in sudo apt-get install redshift redshift-gtk
>>54626213
The real question is, is it a botnet?
>>54626213
>le meme
Just try using it and then turning it off
It helps my eyes NOT scorch off when I turn on my computer at night so ya, it's not a meme.
>>54626265
>>ask question

>>54626213

Yes, a dank one. Install it now.
>>54626213
Why don't you put a Red Cello fin transparent paper on top of the screen ?
>>54627988
>>54627741
>>54627950
"redshift -O colortemp:colortemp"
e.g. "redshift -O 2000:2000"
Nice red tinted screen that doesn't automatically change. that's how I use it.
>>54631963
You're a fuckwit

Poor man's gunnars
quality thread.
good work, /g/

>>54626213
It works, esp. when I read on my devices before going to bed. Sadly redshift on my laptop isn't as good as f.lux.
>>54626213

Does it actually help with melatonin production? I don't know.
Does it make my phone screen a hell of a lot easier to look at in a dimly lit environment? It sure does.
Windows version is pretty shitty and lacks features. OSX has a mode where you can set it up so it gives you notifications based on when you're supposed to wake up and shit like that. It feels as though this software has been made for OSX and not Windows.
>>54631587
no need to apt install both, just installing redshift-gtk will install redshift obviously ;)
>>54631519
I found that switching to the hour-long transition helped with performance, but yeah I'm familiar with the slowdown. Apps like these would run better if they ran at a lower level.
For ubuntu fags:sudo apt-add-repository ppa:nathan-renniewaldock/flux
sudo apt update
sudo apt install fluxgui

Those are big breasts.

Its already baked into iOS, and I think its going to be in android soon too
>>54626230
I have a shitty Dell laptop with the color accuracy of a mutt. This thing is a godsend for pulling all-nighters.
>>54627449
f.lux works perfectly on wine
>>54626213
is everything a meme to you idiots?

Buy these ones from Amazon, not gunnar though. But as I see my eyes turns out to be less stressed at the end of the day
