Sure, I'd like that, but I'm not going to keep personally fighting to make life better for that manufacturer's customers. Not when there are other car manufacturers that aren't pulling that stuff that people can be directed to.

Is the message you want to send "if you buy product from a vendor who actively goes out of their way to dick over open-source developers, it probably won't matter for me as a customer because those developers will keep expending time and accepting legal risk to try to improve the situation for those customers"? Or do you want it to be "you probably want to look for open-source friendly manufacturers"?

This is in response to Bambu labs enshittifying with post-sale software updates and cloud changes.

When the printers were sold they had functions that were removed in later firmware updates. This software is re-enabling those features, some of which still exist in the firmware but were hidden from the user with a software update.

It's not such much that the developer is trying to improve Bambu Lab's value proposition as they are trying to make the printer that they paid for work like it did when they bought it.
