First World problems (while living in the third world):

My new Nexus 5 runs stock Android 4.4.4. My dated HTC One S runs Cyanogenmod. The notifications settings and home page capabilities of Cyanogenmod are so advanced compared to stock Android, that I find my new shiny phone unusable.

I've replaced a lot of stock firmware with open source versions before. But replacing Google's "true Android experience" with Cyanogenmod feels so wrong.

And there is nothing I can do about it. Zilch. They will be there and beg there all their lives because the laws and the law enforcement and the social security system and their parents and society - nothing prevents them from being there. It is the helplessness in the face of misery that makes us third world. Not
