I like to scroll my logs w/o pagination

  But they ain't infinite (I assume). Maybe long, but finite. That is a big difference as it still gives meaning to the scrollbar. Infinite scroll is endlessly adding new content so you simply cannot scroll to the bottom.

    if your systemlog is very active or very verbose, this will happen. i do get the idea though. abusive infinate scroll games/exploits, the compulsion to "finish" the feed.

    Technically, infinite scroll is of course finite, too. Unless it adds newly created content, but if you count that as infinite then logs can be infinite too. That's exactly why you don't write legislation to ban infinite scroll but 'addictive' design. Then it's ultimately up to the courts to decide, and they have the necessary leeway to judge that journalctl -f isn't addictive but TikTok is, even if they both use a version of infinite scroll.

    I dunno, have you tried? Maybe you just need to scroll faster.
