Excellent comment. Disagreeable comments can be sincerely held, supported, but this means little if you do not hold the prevailing opinion with the downvoting/flagging/almost impossible-to-read feint grey text, which is often where the gold is! Weekends are definitely better for more open conversation.
- brycewray 1y agoRegarding the grayed-out-text phenomenon, my way around this has been to use the Stylebot extension on Chromium- and Gecko-based browsers and apply the following CSS to HN pages: div div a, div p a { color: darkblue; } div.commtext.c5A { color: #5A0000; } div.commtext.c73 { color: #730000; } div.commtext.c88 { color: #880000; } div.commtext.c9C { color: #9C0000; } div.commtext.cAE { color: #AE0000; } div.commtext.cBE { color: #BE0000; } div.commtext.cCE { color: #CE0000; } div.commtext.cDD { color: #DD0000; } div.commtext.c5A a, div.commtext.c73 a, div.commtext.c88 a, div.commtext.c9C a, div.commtext.cAE a, div.commtext.cBE a, div.commtext.cCE a, div.commtext.cDD a { color: darkred; } div div pre { color: darkgreen; }
- verisimi 1y agoGood idea. The grey comments often have some of the best comments, if you can read them.
