There have been refreshable braille evices for a long time, but they display only dots. What @bthall asked about is a refreshable tactile display that can render any shape. I think there is one such device, not yet ready for prime-time. -

@jo That idea of "borrowing good luck" is intriguing ... because it infers you might need to give it back.

I offer support to friends considering and/or using #FreeSoftware and open culture. #IDAD is next week. I recently preached to a strange in a cafe; he saw me typing into a laptop with the screen turned off, and asked what I was doing. So, I told him of my distro, the #GNU the #Linux kernel, and things. At one point, he said "But, linux is hard to use", to which I anssered "Do you have an Android phone"? Oh.... Had we more time, I'd have turned the screen on and shown him the programs I carry 'round with me. -

The day I understood this, I started making stuff for myself and stopped worrying about adoption.

Library of Congress Annotation:
When human colonists land on a planet for which they hadn't planned, survival is difficult. The environment is unpredictable and harsh. After the colonists find the ruins of an alien race entwined in the roots of a strange plant, conflicts arise and the colonists struggle to understand an odd alien intellect. -

Life hack: If you're afraid of #unions/#communism, there is a super simple solution: treat your workers well. The trick is that it has to be *all* your #workers. The ones you directly employs and the ones you indirectly employ through suppliers/contractors, especially foreign. -

If I had heard of this tee-shirt, before I knew anything about federated networking spaces, I'd have asked something about extinct elephants, maybe thought wearer was a paleontoligist or worked in a natural history museum. :) -

@PinballWitch When I wear my Mastodon t-shirt around town, people often ask me if it is from the band: Mastodon. When I say, no, it's from a federated networking space, they shake their head and say some version of: I thought the shirt was way too cute for Mastodon (the band).
