Man. I really need Pine, Ubuntu Touch, or one of the other alt systems to accelerate and release a phone that's usable as a daily driver. The dystopia is getting increasingly difficult to avoid.
On one hand: It'd be nice to be able to locate my phone if I lose it and it shuts off.
On the other hand: I only want me to be able to track it; not Google or any of their associates.
That's so true of so many technologies. Google Maps history, gmail, search history.... nearly everything would be great to have if only I had access to it.
