A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I have chronic pain and want to limit clicking "Next" all the time
I'm sorry it's painful for you! Then would be great to have an option to choose between scrolling and page views.
All of us have to endure so you can be pleased, of course, milord!
Endure what exactly? The convenience of not having to click next? Laughable.
Uhm hello? Being subjected to dark patterns? Deceptive user interface design? Educate yourselves?
Infinite scrolling is not a dark pattern and also not deceptive in any way. A dark pattern is something like amazon asking you four times in different wording and different user interface if you would really like to cancel the service.
Of course king you are right you've changed my mind, I'm so lucky that I've found the only remaining expert in human in dark patterns. You should join the European commissions, all of those posers saying tiktok is addictive they're just dumdum, there's no such thing as an addictive app! All of those meta employees calling the app a drug they're just doing so affectionately!
