Does this make a backup of an existing set of .files?

Through intense digging I found a researcher who left a notebook public including tweet counts from many years of Twitter’s 10% sampled “Decahose” API and discovered the surprising fact that tweet rate today is around the same as or lower than 2013! Tweet rate peaked in 2014 and then declined before reaching new peaks in the pandemic. Elon recently tweeted the same 500M/day number which matches the Decahose notebook and 2013 blog post, so this seems to be true! Twitter’s active users grew the whole time so I think this reflects a shift from a “posting about your life to your friends” platform to an algorithmic content-consumption platform.
So, the number of writes has been the same for a good long while.
Scary for activists anywhere.
The second reason that I do a report-spam is when google cannot automatically unsubscribe and a browser tab opens and I should type an email address and confirm.
The worst are the ones that send back a confirmation that I have unsubscribed.
There are some pretty big names in oss with enterprise offerings that are doing this kind of communication.
