...says the blind man.
Well thanks, appreciated.
If you would tell your doctor about f.lux, do you think he would say "that's not going to help"?
No, of course not. However in the UK there have been no studies which shows it helps, so yes, he probably would!
If you're having problems driving due to being very near sighted, do you think your doctor would tell you to stop driving?
It depends whether glasses were an option. What does this have to do with flux?
I've got a very cheap LCD-TV and I still have the possibility to change the colours, hue, temperature and so on. I assume it's not an uncommon setting, why don't you check your TV(s) and see if you've got them as well?
Your cheap LCD has an automatic screen tint when the sun goes down? Tweaking colours isn't the same.
I've also got f.lux installed on the computer I use during the evenings.
Good - so do I.
I absolutely love how this makes people so aggressive, it's like the possibility of having f.lux implemented as an option is a personal insult to them.
I use it myself, on my jailbroken iPad. It's nice, but not something that is required to be built in to the operating system. It's not an accessibility option, being affected by blue light is not a disability. At the end of the day, the paper from Harvard university says the following:
What you can do
Use dim red lights for night lights. Red light has the least power to shift circadian rhythm and suppress melatonin.
Avoid looking at bright screens beginning two to three hours before bed.
If you work a night shift or use a lot of electronic devices at night, consider wearing blue-blocking glasses.
Expose yourself to lots of bright light during the day, which will boost your ability to sleep at night, as well as your mood and alertness during daylight.
See flux mentioned there? No. That's because it isn't just iPhones and iPads which cause this problem. Using energy saving lightbulbs at home? They contribute! Your TV contributes too. For those genuinely suffering as a result of this condition then a pair of blue-blocking glasses/lenses are required, not a free app/setting on a single device.
Very simple:
I (and I guess others people) get VERY upset when someone's CONSTANTLY ranting on and on about how I NEED product X. How it's idiotic NOT to have product X. That I'm an idiot for not realizing that product X is THE BEST THING SINCE SLICED BREAD etc.
So, be happy about your product but for the love of everything that's good in the world: Stop trying to convert people!
This.
