I won't defend their practices in most cases, changing the news feed to recent for example is far more work than it should be, and reverts randomly.

but this setting is Settings>Notifications it's not really buried.

I suppose I'm not upset at people who discovered the issue, but I am annoyed at mashable.com for making it a specifical when it shouldn't be, quoting a "a self-described technosociologist, professor at UNC" and their uninformed statements.
