f.lux is a software that, at sundown, adjusts the color temperature of your screen to make it redder i.e. less blue. the idea is that blue light keeps you awake and having screens everywhere blasting blue light in your face makes you sleep worse

apple banned f.lux from the ios app store and then plagiarized it

Apple can:

a) create a special API so that customers can download an app that will adjust the screen tint based on configuration settings from that app, and hope some non-trivial amount of users somehow discover that there are apps that can do this. this supports a free market for tint controlling apps where there will be competition that benefits consumers.

b) build the tint controls into the settings where it is available for everyone.

To install f.lux on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, you'll need to jailbreak your device. Jailbreaking automatically installs Cydia, which is an alternative way to install software on your iOS device, like the App Store, but for software other than Apps.

the actual post from the f.lux people is pretty mild and barely even qualifies as a call out, but based on the tech news coverage of it you'd think it was a vitriolic rant about how evil apple is

As the audience reluctantly began to applaud during the silence, Biden tried to fix his remarks.

"Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids -- no, I really mean it." Biden said.
Literally apple is no longer allowed to perfect something in house that is already done by some other company on the app store

in what way would this be good for anyone who uses flux, considering apple would 100% guaranteed end development of flux for non apple platforms at least, if not kill the flux software entirely
