You sound like an extremist brother. If they lie and dont do it (seems like they already have made it open-source) then get mad. But it sounds like you are upset because you got screwed by Sonos and Bose actually are attempting to do the right thing for their customers.
Extremist? Nah, I’m just old enough to have been fooled and fucked way too often by the enshittification, so that I have serious trust issues with corpo promises now.
I try to stay away from big tech crap as far as I can. If there’s no open source alternative, I make my own (if complexity allows) or just don’t use it at all.
And I’m not upset at Bose. Great if they really deliver. I just doubt they will. And if they do, it would be the one shiny example that stands out.
But it would make Bose a bit more attractive to me then. At least the older ones.
Besides, other comments say they just release the API, not made it real open source. Dunno what is true and also don’t care. Yet it would be a substantial difference.
