>omg.lol does not believe its processing of limited personal data of those outside the United States (if any) brings it within the jurisdiction of these laws.
Oh dear. That is definitely not correct. The only way for omg.lol to not fall under the jurisdiction of the GDPR is to not offer their services to people living where it applies.
>He complains about Docker being used as a software distribution method, that is as a replacement for say Debian package, pip package, npm package etc.
If that is a valid complaint, why does he choose two examples where that is not the case? Nextcloud AIO is just one option among many and certainly not the "standard way" of hosting your nextcloud instance. Coincidentally I came from hosting nextcloud the "standard way" and I'm really glad AIO exists and I don't have to manage nonsense like nextcloud ending support for the latest Debian php version. And Home Assistant is mainly distributed as the OS variant with the docker version being the step child afterthought that barely functions.
>"Authoritarian regimes" usually have popular support since a huge majority supports the ruling party.
This argument makes about as much sense as the following one:
>Otherwise, the country would not be stable and vast sums of western money would not have to be sent there in order to ferment a color revolution.
The defining characteristic of an authoritarian regime as opposed to a democratic one is that it does not derive its power and legitimacy from the people - i.e. popular support. It may be stable and "popular" and still terrible, North Korea comes to mind. But as out of touch as you seem to be, you probably belong to that strange group of people who think NK is actually an anti Western paradise.
