I used to use a nexus 6p with a PureNexus rom but I don't actually know how private it was. I still had Play Store on there, so, probably not very private. If I ever get a career I will probably buy a bootloader unlocked pixel and not install Play Store. Anyone do this and miss Google Maps, etc?

Anyone use Pine Phone or plan on it? Is it a chore? Anyone know about the fairness of their hardware procurement (sweatshops etc)?
