Random OT question: how can you tell when a comment that isn't yours is being downvoted? I've seen comments like yours a few times before, but I can't see the karma on individual posts. Is there a karma threshold for being able to see this (like the 500 karma threshold for being able to downvote)?
You can tell because the font color starts to fade out till you can barely read the text.
Interesting; I'm unable to notice this on the comment being discussed with my current setup (Firefox on Linux)
That's because it was upvoted back to black since then :)
Haha fair enough
wasn't the downvoter, but general statements like that don't include context of workload (i.e. is it a desktop or server, gaming pc, etc.) so different i/o schedulers would be optimal for different scenarios
