I think it's been fixed now.



I'm rather color blind and have a hard time seeing the links. For example, I had to move my mouse over the text randomly until I found the link was "Surveillance Self-Defense".

When I'm reading the text on the detail pages, I also can't see where the links are.

For example, on this page I cannot see any links and have to search for them by moving my mouse over text until found. https://ssd.eff.org/en/module/introduction-threat-modeling


A well-raised point. Not colourblind here, but as someone who remembers the days when visual cues were used, I feel your pain.

FWIW, I find using `tab` to bounce around links in the main text helps. Further than that, if you use `vi` on sundays, both pentadactyl and vimperator have a "hints" mode to navigate links by keyboard, which also helpfully highlights them.

It would be nice if web designers weren't such idiots about accessibility, but these options make fending for yourself a bit less frustrating.


note to self, check if site is on hacker news front page before purging stale caches!
