TIL.
- cainxinth 5y agoI think “Fluxxed” would have been a better term. Really captures the spirit of the thing.
- fencepost 5y agoExcept that the term is about 15 years older than when it happened to f.lux
- post_break 5y agoFlux actively came out and said if their feature was added to iOS they would be happy.
- pwinnski 5y agoFlux was sherlocked, to be sure, but sherlocked has been around as a term since 2002 or so, while f.lux was a much more recent victim, from 2015 or so.
