   ||This post is about more misadventures of LinkedIn ineptness. I             ||   
   ||(incompletely) archived LinkedIn comments by me from October 2025 downto a ||   
   ||time which LinkedIn professes to be 2 years (ago). This unsatisfactorily   ||   
   ||incomplete archiving took excessively long: i.e. 5 days! Namely December   ||   
   ||6th; 7th; 8th; 9th; and 10th, 2025.                                        ||

   ||This incomplete archive consists of circa 470 comments in circa 387        ||   
   ||kilobytes. By contrast, it took me fewer than one day in November 2025 to  ||   
   ||download 77 megabytes (34,889 posts) from news:alt.video.dvd.authoring     ||

   |LinkedIn made me lose circa 566 megabytes and many tens of minutes to        |   
   |download circa the last 4 weeks of LinkedIn comments by myself               |

   |to me), and almost 2 hours to upload these downloaded backups. These         |   
   |four weeks of comments are not many comments but LinkedIn forces an          |   
   |author to lose excessive amounts of megabytes and time to save such          |

   |piece of paper (i.e. a tiny excerpt of weeks of comments) but LinkedIn       |

   Since 23/01/2026 I notice 2 new LinkedIn bugs which are not the same   
   as the LinkedIn bugs which I detect over many years.   
      
   So I thought such a bug might be temporary and might prevent LinkedIn   
   from refusing to scroll through more than a month of comments, so   
   this morning I managed to scroll down through circa 3 months of   
   comments.   
      
   LinkedIn is legally obligated to provide copies of comments, but   
   LinkedIn acts illegally. If you want to back up comments which you   
   uploaded to LinkedIn, then now might be the time to back them up.   
      
   LinkedIn forced me to spend tens of minutes to scroll through circa 3   
   months of comments. I used Microsoft Edge to   
   "Save as type: Webpage, complete", producing an 86-megabytes copy. I   
   used Microsoft Egde to produce an unsatisfactory 249-page,   
   238-megabytes PDF copy (Print --> Printer --> Save as PDF). Sic. 238   
   megabytes versus 86 megabytes for only the same comments.   
      
   Uploading this PDF version to Insomnia 24/7 took circa twenty minutes.   
      
   Microsoft Edge took circa 12 minutes to produce this PDF file.   
      
   Much worse problems related to Microsoft are alleged by e.g.   
   HTTPS://wiki.ICEList.Is/index.php/LinkedIn   
   and   
   HTTPS://wiki.ICEList.Is/index.php/Microsoft
