Mr. Giuffra’s efforts on Mr. Adani’s behalf culminated in a previously unreported meeting last month at the Justice Department’s headquarters in Washington, according to people familiar with the meeting.

In contrast, platforms that are run by technically fluent, well-intentioned and thoughtful technologists can be very effective in maintaining content over a timescale of decades. The SmugMug team has been very thoughtful in managing both their business and their technical infrastructure in order to sustain Flickr’s public archives for years to come. (Though, as mentioned, you should still donate to ensure they can keep doing so!)

Where are all of the tech billionaires putting their support behind this? Oh, wait…that would imply they actually cared...

@manton Honestly, that would be a great start. I’ve not really paid attention to Facebook (as a platform) for so long that I don’t even know what’s possible (or what all is in the exported data that you get from the download).

\n

The thing that springs to mind is (and this is all assuming the export includes this data) a reference to the original message if I had commented on it. I think the same for the “like” aspect may be a step too far (for you). I saw something similar with my Twitter import, that the comments I made were out of context when the original post was not present.

@odd Totally agree…I was talking with my wife as we took my daughter back to school this past weekend. Someone summed it up like this: “They don’t like the change that has happened in the past 20-30 years (give or take). It makes them angry. Progress for others has not been progress for them. And they want things ‘back to the way they were’ when things were simpler for them.“

\n

I can understand the feeling. I would venture to say we all wish things could go back to a simpler time that we felt comfortable in.

\n

But that doesn’t mean you get to lash out at people and affect their lives for the worse. To me, that’s a thing we all learn (I hope) about being an adult. You don’t get everything you want, and you have to find a way to live with that disappointment. harsh, but true. If you can change it, absolutely do so. But NOT by harming others.
