So I'm reading all my textbooks exclusively on a computer screen through pirated PDFs.
How do I best prevent fucking up my eyes doing this?

Change screen color to reduce blues (which strain your eyes)
There's a program that does this, but I forget what it's called
>>8285667
You won't fuck up your eyes. If it is sunny out right now crawl out of your dark cave and go outside. It's fucking bright right? Now adjust to the light and go back inside and look at your screen you'll notice how dim it is. You will now realize the screen isn't bright enough to damage your eyes.

bump because I use flux too and also do this for some textbooks, wondering if it's enough
You can print pdf's but who's trying to print a textbook

Don't glasses make your eyes worse?

is printing pirated PDF a crime in North America?
I'm a new grad student in a country full of strangers anon please have mercy not to troll me.

Dual-Screen master race here.
F.lux does not work on dual screens.

The problem isn't legality. Printing costs money. The whole reason I pirate shit is so I don't have to spend money on it.

Just use an online torrent proxy (ex. ahoy.one) and don't seed.

That's pretty shitty, f a m.

Yes. Been wearing them since I was 2 & now I'm completely illiterate & near-sighted without them.
Don't fall for the glasses meme.

>Don't fall for the glasses meme.

My screen has a paper mode preset so that do the work for me
>>8285859
>paper mode preset
What does that do?
>>8285873
dimm the brightness and changes the color palette to a reddish one, if your monitor is not old as fuck should have something similar
>just installed flux
>comfy incandescent mode

Buy a Sony dpts1. You'll be glad you did

wat why :(
>>8285667
I would recommend buying an e-book reader with e-ink display. That shit is amazing and no strain on the eyes. ofc you need to read it somewhere with a lightsource so it's not relevant if you read it at night.
>>8285800
Dual Screen as well
yes it fucking does

Pic or GTFO.

a computer screen does not damage your eyes, it only makes them tired

Master race, indeed.

You obviously have no clue how much screen real estate a 55" 4K screen has.
Imagine a 2x2 grid of 27" 1080p monitors with no bezels in between them. That's what I am working with. I have two supplementary screens I could add, but I haven't felt the need to yet since I can run all my progs and a nice big VM all on one screen without swinging my head around.

change colors to light grey on dark grey.
>>8287685
Id have to go with the 55 inch 4k tv

Never ever use comp with lights off.
