@cdarwin@c.imJack Kerouac’s original typescript scroll for "On the Road"
– the 37 metre (121 ft) long roll of paper on which he typed his defining Beat novel in a three-week burst
– will go under the hammer at Christie’s in March, with a sale estimate of £1.8m to £2.9m ($2.5m to $4m).
The scroll is one of the centrepieces of the Jim Irsay Collection,
one of the most extensive private collections of music, literary,
film and sports memorabilia ever assembled.

@poppastring@dotnet.socialNew #VS2026 Insiders update brings fast scrolling, middle‑click scroll, HTML‑rich copy/paste, slimmer margins, colorized completions, partial‑accept suggestions, and streamlined Markdown preview. Small changes, big gains in flow. #visualstudio
@fanf@mendeddrum.orgooh there’s a new kensington expert mouse TB800
i used to use an expert mouse; more recently i’ve been using the slimblade instead
this new expert mouse has a lower profile like the slimblade, and apparently a much smoother scroll wheel
(with the slimblade you twist the ball to scroll which is a neat trick but a scroll wheel has better ergonomics)
the new one has more buttons and side scroll things too
weirdly i can’t find it on kensington’s webshite

@aral@mastodon.ar.alAnyone else noticing the new Mona jumps the timeline scroll position, thereby losing your place sometimes when you tap towards the bottom end of the timeline? (Seeing it on iPhone usually when I try to tap the bookmark icon on a post towards be bottom of the screen.)
I don’t have the auto-scroll on new posts feature on. This is very much in response to a tap.

@jswright61@ruby.socialI love it when @… is comfortable in her job and has time to scroll Mastodon AND BOOST the good stuff. My timeline is better for it.
@aardrian@toot.cafeMy favorite thing about infinite scroll is when your connection hiccups and nothing else will load so you have to reload the entire page and scroll a dozen times just to get to where you were so you can start the fuck over and hope your connection doesn’t hiccup again.

@david@boles.xyzMemory in the Meme
We live in an age of disposable context. We scroll through the infinite ribbon of the glass screen, pausing only for a microsecond to register a flicker of recognition before sliding our thumb upward, condemning the moment to the digital abyss. We have been trained by the Technocrats, those right-brained architects of our algorithmic prisons, to view this behavior as consumption.

@chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.caJason Proctor is contributing to the CBC's live blog scroll from a legal perspective and as always, his stuff is illumniating. I'll paste his report in because it can get lost in the scroll easily.
"Creditors circle as cull looms
Jason Proctor
I'm Jason Proctor, a reporter with CBC Vancouver who looked into a series of lawsuits facing the owners of Universal Ostrich Farms Inc.
Last month, I spoke with three creditors who are watching today's ruling with great interest — and some skin in the game.
B.C. Supreme Court judges have ordered the farm's owners to repay debts worth more than $250,000 but, up until now, the creditors have been unable to collect. Normally in this kind of situation, a creditor would move to seize the business assets — but because in this case those assets are ostriches caught up in a legal battle, that's been challenging, to say the least.
All three creditors have tried to garnish the CFIA to intercept any money the agency might pay out as compensation for killing the birds (potentially up to $3,000 a bird, the CFIA says) but it remains to be seen how that will work. The creditors, however, told me they are anxious to recoup their losses.”

@pre@boing.worldPanel asking what nostr doesnt fix?
Relay centralisation could enable censorship, and the UI asking users to manage private keys is tricky.
Could one app become a centralisation choke point? They say no. Agreed. Nostr has very good migration here, if one app goes bad it's easy to move.
Privacy is not solved here, since almost all content is public anyway, by design. But since so users have public keys, it's a step towards enabling privacy. Agreed, and at least clients won't generally spy on every mouse click and scroll pause.
No mention of the thing I think most important, that censorship resistance means poor moderation that means bullying, spam, and harassment. That's tricky to solve I think. The fediverse model seems more suitable for good moderation.

For almost twenty years I now use middle-click pasting across several Linux distributions. I love having kind of a second clipboard.
