The concept of needing to register copyright does not exist in most countries. In many countries you just have it and you can enforce it.

Fediverse servers do exist outside of the USA so this is relevant for people who run those servers.

The fact that many western weapons seem to go missing before they reach the front and the coincidence of the Azerbaijan getting a pile of muntions just after deliveries to Ukraine may indicate that the aims of the Ukraine govt may not totally align with those of western europe.

Or it might indicate that you‘re somewhat gullible and consume too much propaganda.

that my hobbies are collecting retro video games, watching 80s-early 2000s anime, and the like

I can promise you that you’re not the only human in your area that is interested in these things. Sounds almost main-stream to be honest. You do need to find a place where you can share your hobbies with others (conventions, gaming groups, fan clubs). Without meeting humans there is little chance to meet interesting humans (serendipity). I‘m not only talking about finding „the girlfriend“, but also friends in general.

Should I just give up? At times I feel like life and everything that comes with it is pointless, that it’s not even worth it.

Certainly not. You already realized that you want to change your situation; that’s a good first step already. Now talk to new people. It doesn’t matter where or who. Look for hobby meetups in your area and go there. You can also learn new hobbies. Join a choir or cake connoisseur championship for all I care; just don’t do it alone if you’re feeling low currently. We as a species are social beings and need social contacts. There are groups and clubs for everything.

Violence, by definition, is an unjustified use of force. If a use of force is justified then it isn’t violence.

You’re right, but just to be clear: That is an English differentiation that doesn’t exist in many other languages.

On the server-side PHP is used by 76.8% of all websites (a large chunk of that being WordPress). It is not going anywhere, soon. Looking at this statistics, nothing else seems to be even in the same league from a pure usage point of view.

I have yet to see a reason why it should change. Serious question: What is the disadvantage of using the tried and tested PHP8 compared to the alternatives, if you already know PHP?
