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.

Yes, most discussions of infinite scroll center around this use, and it's what this topic's focused on. I'm aware that other uses exist, but frankly I'm not terribly worried about that. Pagination is a perfectly viable alternative for most every case I can think of that infinite scroll is used in, especially when paired with a half-decent search system, so even if a clumsy blanket ban were applied I think we'd be fine.
