Is this meme or not meme?

Couldn't live without it

Honestly it does help with eye strain. But it doesn't improve my sleeping habits.

Whatever gains you found, you lost using your smartphone.

It's literally shit made for retards.

literal autism and a retarded meme, contested only by "mah eink is better for mah eyes"

just don't fucking turn your monitor into a lamp in a dark room, that's how you fight eyestrain, not by installing some gimmick filter

by the way if you have a monitor with at least semi-good color, the optimal brightness setting for the best colors is always around 20-40%, not fucking 100% to burn you eyes you autistic child

>>58908474

>>58908474
My lenovo has it built in, and it works, so not a meme, but I've found that for some reason it fucks with my gaming here and there. f.lux does the same thing.

does f.lux/redshift fuck with gaming/performance?

>>58908602
Depends on what software you use, my nightmode is built into my rom. It also has a day mode that cranks up blues for visibility in sunlight.

>>58908695
It messed up the brightness on a game for me before but I just turned it off until I was done.

>>58908695
it makes my league of leggos feel choppy as fuck during the evening despite being steady 60 fps. i seem to be the only one with this problem though

>>58908509
They're basically the same thing

>>58908474
I don't know about Intel but with amd or nvidia you can change your color temp manually, this just does it on a schedule, it does help with eye strain though if you stare at a screen all day.

>>58908683
>>58908908
ok i instaleld redshift

how do i do this: By launching redshift with a script under /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/.

how to make script?

>>58908957
What? Just open the damn program. I literally just installed it on Fedora, ran it after install and it came up with an indicator and everything.

>>58908957
start redshift.service

Not everyone is window toddler with fruity whistles and bopples.

Not sure. I would like some more info on if this is bullshit or not.

I personally use SunsetScreen for my desktop and Twilight for Android. Would like to use CF.Lumen or similar apps but none of them work on my phone. Stuck with crappy overlays.

I use flux and twilight on phone for a year or so, definitely wouldn't stop and do think it's beneficial.

Haha, you really think fucking with RGB channels is all you need to replicate a proper temperature shift?

Even if it was, who the fuck has time to sift through horribly designed monitor menus multiple times a day?

Yes it can help but it only will help so much if it's only one of several factors. If you already wear glasses get digital lens coatings next time.

This. Flux + blue lens filter is the way to go

I'm using it right. Definitely helps with eye strain when writing papers.

>>58908509
Incidentally, redshift notification doesn't work anymore on my arch installation.

>>58908648

I seriously doubt it uses your location to dim the screen at night, that's why I also don't use night mode on my monitor, I want to see the colours at least those few hours a day

>>58909993
>I seriously doubt it uses your location to dim the screen at night

Dude, if you think that's cool, I got this new gadget that'll blow your fucking mind. I can shove it into a USB port, put whatever kind of data I want on it, and then shove it in another USB port and copy that data onto any other device. All without any networking equipment.

Pretty cool, huh?

yea, pretty bummed that wayland doesn't support f.lux, redshift, or anything like it yet. There are quite a few feature requests to add something, but it's been a while now and I'm not that hopeful

Okay everyone seems to think this thing is for eyestrain, but it's not, and it doesn't help no matter how much they say it does. What it's for is blue light reduction during hours that you wouldn't be exposed to blue light, which helps maintain your internal clock. So turning on your light is not gonna help with what it's actually for and actually does

It's made for people that don't realise they can turn down the brightness

big ol' meme

The best way is not to stare at a screen with white shit all over on the dark.

You would want bias lighting or at the very least a desk lamp instead of this. Unless all you do is reading, piss yellow all over the screen isn't better than what you can do with some light sources around.

>>58911464
I practically only use f.lux with the brightness all the way down

>>58911471
Lighting all around you does not stop the blue light from desynchronizing your internal clock

>>58911476
me too

>>58908474

i stopped using it because i dont want to get tired and go to bed at 6pm

>>58908521
Yes, it made your eyes weaker.

Turning the brightness down a bit and turning on a fucking light in your room is enough to prevent eye strain.

You're all fucking stupid for using this crap

>>58911959
It has its uses, that's not always enough

My eyes used to hurt to hurt so now I never not use it, interestingly, a friend of mine who had to use glasses, always complained about getting head aches at the PC, while still always keeping it bright as a lamp and sitting way too close to it, but he would never try this sort of program, even complained about me using it.

Is an interesting thread to realize just how bitter some people are on 4chan that they feel the need to belittle others for such a trivial choice with no negative outcomes whatsoever.

It helped improve my vision.
I see objects and letters less blurry now at bigger distance.

Get raped and kill yourself, you faggot sack of retarded nigger shit.

>>58908474
Does its job(eyes get less tired) but I would never trade color accuracy for that. I just lower the brightness at night.

literally not a meme

talk to a eyedoctor about eye health and light

eyes werent designed to focus on a bright object (screen) and read small print constantly

>>58912080
this.

circadian rhythm is real science

i studied it while i was competing in powerlifting

the body is like a automated machine

>>58908509
Make sure your monitor is PWM-free, and then turn down the brightness. This software helps, but not as much as making the LEDs dimmer.

>>58912094
>eyes werent designed to focus on a bright object (screen) and read small print constantly

I can't remember what the app's called but it's possible

>>58908474
it works, but the mobile version is shit

next windows 10 update will include the same
same on osx

there is an alternative on fdroid that works really good. can't remember the name. just search for sunrise. it is a red icon

>>58912989
Red moon or twilight? I remember switching from twilight because it seemed to leech a ton of battery

>>58908474
Yes it is a meme cause it just using your screen,and it is not a filter so you still get blue light.

>>58913157
red moon

>>58908695
For me, it causes *huge* stuttering when it's transitioning between day & night mode. That's only like ~15 seconds of stuttering though, so I'm fine with it.
