@cloudhop@equestria.social I see... HN. I stopped using that site a long time ago.
They are also kind of contradicting themselves because they themselves are "praising" Bose for taking the right direction.
If you've never encountered this problem, then congratulations, you live in a slightly less hellish place than I doI fear the inverse is the case. I don't consider it that harmful because I see far worse stuff.
@cloudhop@equestria.social Okay, I'm mostly disagreeing here.
First, words have meaning. They publicized the API. Good!
Please don't call it open sourcing, though. The license attached to that document is more on the strict side and definitely not open source. Calling it open source would be misleading.
They received praise from plenty of people (the majority of the comments on the verge, at least). They also received criticism. Both are valid. Criticizing something isn't a punishment.
You can be happy and praise Bose. Other people can still be displeased. Both are valid positions. Telling other people to shut up is what I take issue with.
