Comment Re:New design (Score 1) 91

For me, regards the preview, quote parent buttons, the text is visible but the button background only appears on hover.

I can also confirm that the Post and Load All Comments buttons are barely visible.

Also (I mentioned this below) no left margin inside the white container.

This is the same on FF36 and Chrome 40 on LinuxMint 17.

I've seen other users complain of that but haven't noticed it myself (FF36 on Mint). The main annoyance for me (although it's certainly better than Beta and with a few tweaks could be great) is the complete lack of left hand margin. I mean I see 15px of grey and then first post has zero margin. I do see a right hand margin and other boxes further up the page (such as the summary) have left margin...

In fact if the comments section was the same width/margin as the summary above, that would be fine.

Also, if you read the religious books, it's amazing how many visions of god happened at high altitude or after days (months) wandering in the wilderness with no food, when the human brain isn't exactly working at its best and hallucinations are far from uncommon.

Submission + - Facebook's Colonies (vice.com)

sarahnaomi writes: That the internet is the most powerful tool humanity has ever created is old hat. I'm sure I could find the same thing written somewhere in a 1995 issue of Wired. And over those last 20 years, that knowledge has come with a simple imperative: we must increase access, close the digital divide, lest entire populations of people—who are likely already disadvantaged, as access trickles down with economic and geopolitical privilege—be left behind.

Facebook this week released a major report on global internet access, as part of the company's Internet.org campaign, which aims to bring cheap internet to new markets in partnership with seven mobile companies. Facebook says 1.39 billion people used its product in December 2014, and it's natural for the company to try to corral the other four-fifths of the planet.

But aside from ideals and growth markets, the report highlights a tension inherent to the question of access: When Facebook sets sail to disconnected markets, what version of the internet will it bring?
