Anyone who is blind, or who has worked with the blind, knows how expensive our technology can be. This couldn't be more true with relation to braille displays. Even the cheapest costs at least $799, and it's already behind the newest in that line, at $899. This is the Orbit Reader 20 and 20+. Now, a student in India wants to change that by creating a display that is truly affordable (under $50)! Please pass this on, so that we can give him greater recognition within the blind community. Even if it costs a bit more than he initially suspected it would, there is no excuse for the $2,000 to $5,000 average price of such technology when cheaper alternatives can be designed! He is determined to bring this to market, so let's help him do it and show our appreciation for his hard work on this life-changing project!

Here’s an audio glimpse and a couple of moments in time of the daily life in India. At this time of year, the vetting season is pretty alive. There are multiple weddings per day and the accompanying parties that go along with those weddings. The traditions of a traditional Gujarati wedding Appear to get wilder every day. It feels like there’s a competition among people to make weddings as expensive as possible. The more expensive they are, the more they can show off. #India

I hope India should never get the realisation that a terrorist can still run his own end to end encrypted chat service on the Internet.

If ever they realise this fact, they might ban the Internet on whole.

🚨 🇮🇳 #India banning #OpenSource #Matrix clients like #Element is equivalent to banning your favorite web browser or email client.

🤯 Can you imagine if Firefox, Chrome, or Thunderbird were banned nationally?

🔑 Privacy is a human right.

➡️ And governments will never stop human rights abuses by denying its citizens' human rights.

:boost_love: Pass it on.

“Forget about Ukrainians getting tortured, raped and murdered,” said Macron to Modi, “let’s focus on what we both really care about: money.”
