What can we do? Are we stuck?

There's a reason for that, and it's one that doesn't get talked about an awful lot, which is Facebook aren't the only people that use it extensively.

Because WordPress is also built on PHP.

And it's far from alone.

Another senior Linux techie friend of mine gave me a free shell account on the machine that he runs for a few friends years ago.

And I thought of resurrecting my old 1990s hand-coded HTML web page for fun.

And so I found it on the Internet Archive and I found a tool to scrape it and turn it back into HTML again.
