A slightly different question would be can they afford to "sit out" of any price war?

In my experience, people in the United States often (incorrectly) short hand East Asia as Asia just like the people in the city of New York will often (correctly) short hand New York City as New York.

Speaking of opentelemetry, I try to use open telemetry with my personal projects in an asp dotnet as well as with a dotnet console app. I don't have the required corporate background in opentelemetry. I had to write my own file log exporter. I didn't write it myself -- I used Claude to write it for me in jsonl format which seemed like a good way to have each row in json and for the console app, I get a file something like this

``` logs_2025-12-24_0003.jsonl ```

I asked Claude to keep it in an xdg folder and it chose

``` /home/{username}/.local/share/{applicationName}/telemetry/logs ```

I also have folders for metrics and traces but those are empty.

I have never had a need to look at the logs for the dotnet console app I have and the only reason I have looked at the logs on the asp dotnet app was to review errors when I ran into some error on my asp dotnet application, which frankly I don't need open telemetry for.

What am I missing here? Am I using it wrong?

If you use open telemetry, where do your logs, metrics, and traces go? Do you write your own custom classes to write them to a file on the disk? Do you pay for something like datadog (congratulations on winning the lottery I guess?)

I appreciate your reply. Thank you for helping me learn.

For those on iPhones or respectable mobile network operators, not everyone has as good of an experience as you do.

For people who buy subsidized Android-based phones from some carriers such as Metro by T-Mobile USA, they either come with bloatware baked in or they download the bloatware when you first activate the device or something like that.

These things are fairly easy to disable if you know what you are doing but if you don't know what you are doing, I can imagine people will simply put up with ads showing up every time you pick up the phone. It can get annoying VERY quickly.

To play the devil's advocate, more people are born every day and as long as there are more developers today than there were yesterday, lifetime licenses can bring in a trickle of money each month, especially if the marginal cost of each new customer is zero or near zero.

> Nothing worse than being famished and getting one measly slice of pizza.

I am not exactly a big guy but even I can easily eat two slices of pizza and I am talking about real slices of the Costco pizza which I love for its value for money. I can't imagine how you could feed a team of eight with a single pizza.

> Power corrupts, end of story.

Not all corruption is obvious though. Sometimes you think you are doing the right thing, "just need to bend the rules slightly over here". It is all for a "good cause". I feel like I am as much worried about people who are the righteous wrong, as much as people who are just out there trying to grift to make a buck.

> The fact is allowing any type of unsigned update on HTTP is a security flaw in itself.

Reminds me about ten years or so ago when I was installing Debian or something and I noticed the URL for the apt install mirrors were http and not https. People helpfully pointed out this is a non issue because the updates are signed.

Ok I guess but then why did Debian switch to https?

Yes, because you would only run such an updater software on Windows.

I see hundreds of tweets by @amazon that reply to people complaining how deliveries miss the dates that amazon dot com promised but then amazon dot com probably delivers so many packages every day that I think it is a bit of column A and a bit of column B here.

Congratulations on your release! Looks great. Runs great so far. I was able to log into HN just fine on Fedora.

What are your thoughts on upgrading gnome 48 to 49 as a dependency?

This 'sandwich fallacy' perfectly illustrates why I think sports should be removed from the university system. Universities are great 'bakeries' (centers of learning), but they’ve become bogged down trying to run massive 'sandwich shops' (commercial sports). It’s okay for these to exist, but they should be independent entities so the school can focus on being a school.
