Happy New Year!



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



Many LinkedIn problems of "!

LinkedIn is so lame!



On New Year's Day 2026, LinkedIn repeatedly refused to show me comments by me from more than 4 weeks previously.

LinkedIn made me lose circa 566 megabytes and many tens of minutes to download circa the last 4 weeks of LinkedIn comments by myself (excluding comments in this timeframe which LinkedIn stopped showing 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 personal data, or to lose such personal data. LinkedIn is unsatisfactory.

I also noticed on 01/01/2026 that LinkedIn restricted Microsoft Edge's feature of Print --> Printer --> Save as PDF to print to a single piece of paper (i.e. a tiny excerpt of weeks of comments) but LinkedIn used to let Microsoft Edge make big PDF files even as recently as Tuesday 30th December 2025.
