I use French nearly all the time, it works well. Not that I can't write English prompts, but I find it easier to use my native language.

Kagi Maps isn't bad, it's slow but POIs are there with enough data.

Actually, you can do that with Firefox, either per site or as a global policy.

It is true, it's the official pricing of GitHub Copilot.

>Really? Lol. If it's true why would you publish it? To ensure Microsoft will patch it up and fuck up your workflow?

It's true and it's their official pricing, so talking about it won't change anything.

People are spending way too much money with Claude Code while they could simply pay for GitHub Copilot and fire up OpenCode to get the same results but way cheaper.

Show HN: Otel-GUI – an open source OpenTelemetry viewer for dev and debug

nesk_ — Thu, 09 Apr 2026 13:10:53 +0000

(The author is a work colleague, I'm posting on his behalf due to "Show HN" limitations for new accounts)

During my recent projects with OpenTelemetry, I was looking for a truly practical tool for local development.

I found several existing solutions —some very powerful— but for my day-to-day local use, they were often too heavy, not simple enough to install, or not quick enough to get started with.

So I decided to build my own dedicated tool: otel-gui.

This is not a complete observability suite nor a telemetry backend designed for large-scale production or long-term retention. It's a tool designed for developers who want to debug efficiently locally.

> I have never heard of scammers pushing sideloaded apps upon their victims in order to carry out their scams.

Maybe not scammers, but an abusive partner could sideload an application on your phone to spy on you. I've seen that before within my relatives.

Love it! I had this idea before but never took the time to implement it. You did it, thank you.

> I am not seeing the performance degradation everyone talks about after 50% context window.

I pretty much agree with that. I use long sessions and stopped trying to optimize the context size, the compaction happens but the plan keeps the details and it works for me.

One recommendation to help this tool gain traction: use a black and white terminal for your terminal preview (GIF).

1. It will ease reading. It's currently terrible, you might be used to it but we aren't.

2. It will sharpen the text and make it easier to read since there's less to encode into the GIF format.

Additional recommendations: remove the useless part on the right—I use Arch BTW vibe—and make the font bigger.
