Is it free because in the fine print you agree to spyware?
I use a blue light filter, not that one. I swear by them.
THE LOWDOWN
You download and install flu.x on your windows PC
At night your adjust flu.x to eliminate blue light from a monitor or laptop screen which is stimulating. Blue light is fine for daytime hours but stimulating at night and messes with your sleep cycles
FLU.X also comes in Apple and Android flavors but I have not installed any of that. Go figure this out yourself. Linux too probably.
Might be easier to just adjust the display settings in Windows.
There s a Night Light setting, that you can schedule on a timer.
(settings>system>display>night light on)
I use Redshift under Linux to do the same thing.
Thanks for the tip...
Found this for Linux, easy install for Mint:
REDSHIFT
Pretty good reviews.
I’m gonna install that one in a while.
Self-ping

Haven’t tried Flu.x, but it’s a good idea: I use DarkReader. I also like that it can replace the fonts selectively. I find flare-tip fonts are easy to read like sans-serif, but better for white-on-black than. They’re not more commonly used, because they require very high screen resolution, and just as ultra-high-res screens became the norm on computers, people started using handheld devices. (Right now, I’m set to quicksand font, which isn’t flared, but has very rounded letters.)
The only problem is that DarkReader occasionally makes pictures into negatives.
I have been using f.lux for several years.
I frequently use my laptop in the living room while watching TV in the evenings. f.lux helps tone down the bright-whiteness of the screen.
Thus, when it kicks in, I no longer suffer from white privilege. Libs should be happy. :)
Good to know. I have a HP Spectre and it has a lit keyboard which is excellent and W10 has a night light feature as well, but I don’t like the W10 nightlight feature that much...
What do you think of this? How can we find out if it is insidious or contains malware?
