I read about Google’s decision of not releasing the firmware source code going forward. Is it still the case? If it is, should one purchase any Pixel 8/9/10 series in hope of keeping it for a long time?
I am planning to purchase a new Pixel 9 (used ones are not an option unfortunately) during the Black Friday or something. It will be a substantial amount but I am hoping it will be justified with amortisation.
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I cannot find a clear cut answer in the forums.

Is there one god damn phone out there we can buy that’s somewhat ethical and redirects or privacy?
Fairphone maybe.
Fairphone? Haven’t been following that, but I’m pretty sure it’s the most ethical phone to consume…at least in theory.
Unlocked open source bootloader?
Is it any good? I know it’s probably not going to be up to Google Pixel’s quality or Samsung’s, but still.
Unfortunately, I don’t have one.
