Because @…’s Flipboard site won’t scroll for me (?!?), here’s the paragraph with the punch:
❝It’s worth noting that over the decades, Pixar has explored topics such as, but [not*] limited to: becoming a widower, suddenly becoming a single or adoptive parent, environmental collapse, existential dread, motherhood, and job burnout. The first Incredibles has a subplot where Elastigirl thinks Mr. Incredible is having an affair, Toy Story 3 has the toys accept death by furnace, and Elemental is about interracial relationships. The last two movies Docter directed were Soul, which is about a Black man finding joy in his life again, and Inside Out—maybe the most therapy-ass movie (and series) in the studio’s entire 40-year tenure—is about messy preteen emotions that lead to its main character running away from home.❞
* The word “not” is missing in the original, surely an editorial mistake?

today's rabbithole: scroll shadows with just css.
- background-attachment - well-established hack, works ok, but tricky to do in some layouts (eg sticky footer)
- container query scroll-state stuck - chrome only for now and kinda buggy
- scroll animation - works ok in chrome and safari. not yet firefox without flag. awkward if you want a smooth fade at a particular closeness.
leaning toward scroll animation, because it feels like the most natural way to express it

Found a new example of a crappy carousel in the wild for a talk!
At first it seems fine, but it’s death by paper cuts.
• Horizontal scroll, offset from edge of viewport;
• clipped text;
• poor CSS `grid` use;
• scroll snap;
• `alt`-less images;
• `aria-label` on the links;
• and more!
Oh. It’s just Wix.

How to make me hate your website?
Move the page scroll bar slightly to the left, as that breaks "move mouse cursor to the right of the screen blindly, hit button, move mouse downwards".
Looking at you, #gitlab[1] (where I need the scroll bar often, as the pages for issues are really long, so using the scroll wheel is not really a option.

The timing of this exhibit feels resonant – and a bit ominous.
In January, news broke that Kerouac’s 37-metre-long first-draft scroll of
"On the Road" will be up for auction.
When it was last for sale in 2001, Carolyn Cassady
– Neal Cassady’s former wife
– denounced the auction as “blasphemy”, saying the scroll belonged in a library, not a private collection.
"Jack loved public libraries,” she said at the time, adding:

My own little experiment for you to try:
Open Facebook. (You won’t hear me say that often!)
Scroll. You don’t have to read anything. Just scroll.
Every once in a while, click on an ad — but not the top ad. Make it the second in the list on the side, or one far down your feed. You can open it in a background tab and then close the tab. Tell the model it didn’t •quite• get you right — but you’re engaged, it just needs to drift a little further from who it thinks you are.
Wait for the ads to update. Repeat. And repeat. Watch the model degrade.
To this day, Facebook thinks I’m a gun owner who wants testosterone supplements.

To be clear: the Segway as released was •not• a very good product. But it was not a worse product than, say, the Apple-1, which was also clumsy, nerdy, impractical, expensive. ($3400 in today’s money and it didn’t even have a keyboard!)
Yet in the latter case the response was “This is the future! Let’s do this! Let’s figure it out!” And with the Segway, the response was “How mockable, nobody should ever try to build anything like this ever again!”
A crumb went down the wrong way with micromobility in 2001, and I’m not willing to lay that entire at the feet of one product’s marketing team. We collectively screwed up.

Signal is on my dads phone but he doesn't know it's on his phone and I can't find it on his phone. I'm stumped and confused. Play store says it's installed, but can't find it anywhere.
Apparently you can hide apps in Samsung's Android? No idea how to do so. Certainly nobody has done so on purpose. On finding the list of hidden apps I find unhiding them didn't even work.
Apparently you have to scroll down to a hidden 'done' button.
