Red lights for night time was the greatest decision ever tbh, helps night vision massively, as well as sleep
Holy shit, I've got a insanely bright blue power light on my CPU that will annoy the shit out of me if it's on at night. Guess I'll have to buy some tape or something for it.
And yet almost every major site uses blue as their primary color scheme
I have a slight yellow tint on my glasses for computer work, and by God that was the best $70 I've ever spent. Highly recommend it for anyone who has the option. The tint is done by Gunnar but it's much more subtle than their gaming line.
Fuck.
Pretty much just colour theory at work. It's a mind game, and unless this takes off at all, it probably won't change
During the night I cannot stand looking at my phone without read mode on. The yellowness is just cozy, though during the day I keep it normal cause... the sky is blue anyway

i recommend this for night time browsing
remember to exit flux whilst playing games though, it ruins your frame times
Well bugger, thought it was just the wanking that was ruining my eyesight.
Latest version of flux disables itself when you run stuff in fullscreen. Or do you mean turning it off completely?
Or if you're lazy and you have Windows 10 (1709 onward I believe), just use Night Light.
Personally, I also turn off room lights (apart from a table lamp) at that time.

Looks like f.lux has some better settings nowadays, back when I was first testing it I was annoyed how it discolored everything all the time.
I used flux for the longest time until they updated something that made it start flashing between tinted and non-tinted (like it was being enabled and disabled) at random times. Windows 10 has a built in "Night light" setting that doesn't have as many features (the different tint levels at different times) but works well enough for me and doesn't have the annoying flicker.
Turning it off completely, unless they changed something recently it still hooks every frame that is rendered even when "disabled".
It still really annoys me how it doesn't let me input my location. It doesn't support anything north of 65 degrees, so it'll just give me the wrong results.
Stop looking so close
So using f.lux all the time when at my computer is actually better for my eyes than simply avoiding eyestrain and sleep issues, huh.
It never seems to affect my framerates. I'd rather leave it on anyways. Even if it did mean a lower framerate, getting a headache from the eyestrain isn't particularly conducive to playing a game.
Windows 10 and OS X have an equivalent to f.Lux built in now, and they don't suck too bad!
It'll also absolutely crushes your colors.
It's obvious advice but sometimes you don't notice it when it goes incandescent.
Note: you can disable f.lux per program.
Well, this sucks.
I work with things that require color accuracy almost constantly and I ended up uninstalling f.lux because I'd only have it on maybe an hour or two a day, total. Not in a row, but scattered throughout the day/night in stupidly small intervals.
Moral of the story: Don't be an artist if you don't wanna fuckin' go blind, I guess.
Though, I abuse the Hell out of dark themes for sites and programs where I'm able to use them, so.. At least I have that going for me?
You can actually use either f.lux or w10 night mode for a less blue tint actually.
F.lux even lets you set to 'darkroom mode' which is all red, green, a deep orange, or all sorts of shit
Kinda explains why certain blue LEDs look really blurry to me.
Thanks science - now even the fucking sky is scary.
Is this because blue light is more energetic? As in, blue light is the highest energy electromagnetic radiation we're able to perceive. I wonder if red light, at the opposite end of the spectrum, tends in the other direction?

That's pretty much correct yeah, it's a higher frequency of light, therefore I guess it'd be 'higher energy'
IIRC, green light is the most prominent for the average human, with red light being 2nd and blue light in last place. Many phones' subpixel layouts show this to us visually:

at first and was really confused for a second, lol.
Well, they do say that good sex is heavenly!
the sky isn't blue light, that's the color of our nitrogen oxygen atmosphere when its a hundred miles deep
I'm aware that it's not literally blue light in that it's illuminated that colour, but the photons entering our eyes are blue, otherwise we wouldn't perceive the sky as blue at all.
