OpenTelemetry and in particular I wish more protocols had Traceparent propagation support and more software had support for sending spans and traces to an OTLP endpoint to construct a full picture of everything that is going on in a distributed system.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

RCS compatibility between iOS and Android operating systems
Google has used RCS as their latest attempt at entering the messenger market. I really don't see why anybody else would want to adopt it under these circumstances. I mean Samsung did but Samsung is playing their own little paranoid game with Google, they don't really give a crap about RCS.
Basically Google killed RCS. They will never be able to make anybody adopt it against their will in the EU, people will stick to what messenger services they're already using. If they ever attempt to turn it on by default in their own app it will turn into a regulatory issue so fast their head will spin.
I actually feel the opposite.
Rcs was designed from the ground up to be handled by the carrier in clear text like sms, it doesn’t incorporate encryption in any way and doesn’t do much at all to address the untrustworthy nature of carriers and law enforcement nowadays.
It’s like those two protocols started developing at the same time and only google kept extending rcs to keep some degree of feature parity with imessage.
If we had to ditch iMessage it ought to be for some third type, not for questionably secure rcs and what new bubble color can be used to indicate that someone’s using an unencrypted rcs server?
