Because we know what would happen - O.I.:
Barry has a unique problem. He came up with a truly original idea. And sharing it has consequences.
Fair warning though, it is a short horror film though, so don’t say you haven’t been warned.

Do you trust Mark Zuckerberg…
Now let me stop you right there. The answer is no. It’s always no when Zuck is involved.
I love the fact that the information they can provide is basically a couple of reference points that takes up a quarter of a page 🤣
Caldera Linux, now there's a name I've not heard in a long time... My version came from the Linux Complete Reference, 4th Ed.
If this were really true, why is there the existence of link rot and a large volume of online lost media?
I think the proper way to say this is that “if you post it on the internet, you should consider it being there forever”.
For example - a personal one. I did a short ambient music podcast series highlighting artists who release music via Creative Commons (a new thing at the time). It was only 5 episodes, and I have the first one archived. The other four are now completely lost to time, despite being put out on the internet back then. It’s not there forever.
In terms of social media, it’s harder to not be forever, but even that’s down to the same issues - has someone else archived it, screenshotted, especially in the case of a site ceasing to function? Internet Archive doesn’t preserve everything either. Plenty of archived pages missing images or files that enable true functionality to view everything as it was.
