gollark: For one thing, the intro is a bit confusing and it could be read as "Mark" and "the man" being different.

gollark: Er, can you rotate it so I can read it?

gollark: Not all of them support that, and probably not all devices do.

gollark: It is kind of annoying that because of weird radio spectrum licensing, WiFi and whatnot suffer bad interference issues because of being limited to a set of small overcrowded bands.

gollark: If it's actual physical airspace, can you *buy* exclusive rights to that? If so, that sounds bad.
