We're flux buddies!

YAY F.LUX! I truly can't overstate how important a role that thing plays and has played in my daily life.

I turn it off for things like editing photos or if I'm playing a game in the darkness hours that is NOT a "sleepy" game (like in the winter where it gets dark at fucking 4 pm). If it's fully on and I turn it off I'm always like AAAAAAHHH MY EYES THE BRIGHTEST BLUEST LIGHT OF 500 SERAPHIM INSIDE AN APPLE STORE. And then I'm like how do I look at this all day long?? (Then I get used to it in like 30 seconds)

And then if for some reason I forget to put it back on, it'll be 2 in the morning and I'm suddenly like huh why am I wide the fuck awake reading wikipedia about Uzbekistan and not remotely sleepy? oh. whoops

So apparently some peeps are saying F.lux can help with this attrocious update to tumblr’s choice of colors for everything

Software to warm up your computer display at night, to match your indoor lighting.

I actually appreciate a high contrast setting, it helps me a lot and I use those setting on my work computer too

BUT! If eyestrain is a problem (which is it for me even with the old color scheme) please consider using f.lux. It is an incredible little program that’s lets you adjust the warmth of your screen, is very customizable, and has location setting which allow you to set it to adjust itself at sunrise/sunset (which allegedly helps with your circadian rhythms). It’s also very easy to switch off if you’re working on color sensitive stuff like photo editing.

Your eyeballs will thank you!

I’m curious, what do y’all set your f.lux temperature to? Mine’s at 2700K.

I’ve been getting some eyestrain so I decided to actually do something about it. So far, this app seems to help. Everything is nice and warm and soft.
