Daily-Driving a Blackberry in 2023

If you're not aware, the Pinephone is a fully FOSS phone that runs a fairly standard Linux kernel. My sense of direction has noticeably improved, and I feel much more connected to the city I've lived in for nearly 5 years. Missing a turn used to be an annoying nuisance - now it's a fun puzzle game where I have to rearrange my instructions in my head!
