Being in control of your own computing device was always a niche. The vast majority of people are not interested in computing itself, only in the output. For that majority, this is fine.

The niche is still there, probably as big as it was before. For example, as I grew weary of being subject to services I have little control over, I set up my own home server using a refurbished PC. It has been an amazing journey so far. But I don't think a normie would ever get interested in buying a refurbished Dell, install Debian on it, and set up their own services there.

As long as there is a niche of people interested in buying their own computers, there will be companies willing to fill that niche.

Perhaps you haven't heard about this fairly obscure event called Brexit.

The UK is, eminently, not in the EU.

Or maybe he just got lucky.

Impossible to prove otherwise. No reason to try his luck.

Are you implying other countries have to join in?

Iran is only a threat because the US and Israel decided it was time to murder some Iranians.

The US and Israel are more of a threat to the entire world.

I bet that in Russia they also have media showing that people in Uraike are celebrating their liberation, etc.

I am very skeptical of war propaganda. You would do well to be skeptical of it too.

What I can tell you is that no matter how much I hate the government of my country, I would hate a lot more the foreign country that is destroying civilian infrastructure and murdering my people.

Let's not pretend that the US and Israel regimes have the best interest of the Iranian people in mind. They want murder.

The Iranian government is bad, and yes, it should be toppled, eventually, by its own people.

This doesn't change the fact that Iran is the aggressed party in an invasion of an incredibly aggressive US-Israel axis that seem to revel in death.

You can hate the Iranian murderous regime, and also understand that it is fighting against another evil, murderous regime.
