Not always working. You can see often in google community support people lost their phone. Get a new sim card and phone. Google sends the 2FA request to old phone - without that they cannot restore data.
Double whammy for people that use eSIM that gets sent to their old email address.
I can vouch for people still there. I’m a Brit who married an Iranian who still has a large family in Iran. With the exception of one religious aunt who is married to a military man, all the Iranian family and friends we know have been hoping for intervention. We've had emotional messages from my wife’s cousin (a new mum) describing looking out of her apartment every night for the past month praying for planes overhead. Take that anecdata for what it’s worth.
1. Not everybody lives in the direct nearing of the bombing/conflict hotspot
2. They weren’t doing that great before anyway (because, you know, the islamic totalitarian theocratic dictatorship)
3. They haven’t been doing great at all lately (because, you know, protests and turmoil and the violent repression from the aforementioned islamic totalitarian theocratic dictatorship)
I tried a lot to get this in reality - using fedora silverblue. But that thing sucks. It is slow. Really dogslow. Devs are blaming rpm-ostree or btrfs - no idea. I wish there was something like ChromeOS but open.
Hint: Maybe firefox should pivot (re-do Firefox OS) to that.
What's really slow? Using the system, or installing updates? I use Kalpa, an atomic OpenSUSE desktop version, and it just installs updates every night and notifies me to restart, so I generally neither know nor care about how quickly that runs. (Although, I've also run updates manually and it seems fine.)
It's pretty much rpm-ostree. Nobody bothered to make those workflows performant, so if you need to apply updates separately, it's going to suck. The OSTree download can be fast if you have a fast connection to the Fedora server, but it's not mirrored and there's no mirror network support (so no geographically close downloads). To be fair, bootc has this problem too because container tooling in general can't support mirror networks currently.
I am running it, and I used to use NewPipe before. I honestly don't notice much difference in stability. In both cases I would experience issues every couple of months for a day or 2. As YouTube made some change and I need to upgrade the app or server to resolve it. I wouldn't say one is better than another. Both have different advantages and drawbacks that come mostly from the nature of one being an app and the other being a server+web

It is a different skillset. SRE is also an under-valued/paid (unless one is in FAANGO).
