    End of an era if true. I certainly won’t be buying a Xiaomi phone again if so.

    Which manufacturers currently support bootloader unlocking?

    EDIT: I’ll answer my own question and include Motorola, although the custom rom scene looks a bit sparse.

    If y’all are missing the trend, let me spell it out.

    The corporate vision of the future is rent and subscriptions everything. Own nothing and be under their complete control. End encryption, end software and hardware freedom to any usable degree.

    Google will eventually follow suit and then… I guess grapheneos will move but for how long?

    I’m really worried for the future of FOSS.
