Personnel
gollark: My laptop, which I think has a mike, runs Linux, and my phone runs Lineage without Google services.
gollark: I generally have about two devices with microphones around, but I control the software on them more than usual, so that's okay.
gollark: No. I mean Motorola's RAZR thing but it's a normally sized one which folds out to twice as tall.
gollark: You could put twice the instasnappifacetweets on screen at once.
gollark: Design idea: a phone twice as tall as the already very large existing ones which works as a flip phone.
