Ah wait, it is me who is stupid. The sign is of course meant for people who can see, like me. *We* should not touch it. People who can't see won't even know that the sign is there. <br>3. .....or does the braille maybe also say "don't touch"?</p><p><a href="https://social.edu.nl/tags/blind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>blind</span></a> <a href="https://social.edu.nl/tags/braille" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>braille</span></a></p>

Devin Prater :blind:<p>From the ACB mailing list:</p><p>Congress has reintroduced the Transformation to Competitive Integrated Employment Act (TCIEA). This bill works to ensure that people with disabilities are not paid subminimum wage under an almost 100-year-old piece of legislation that allows certain businesses with a specific certificate to do so. The bill will work to eliminate such working environments and help transition people currently in such settings into a more integrated work situation.

Devin Prater :blind:<p>I has an idea! Since I can't hear perfectly, and I need to hear people at work, while also doing work, I think I'll try the Live Captions part of Braille Access. I mean I love it when people talk about me, I really do. But sometimes I want to know what people say about me, lol. Anyway, Live Captions works in this beta, so that'll be nice to try. In the next version of iOS, they should make a thing where if someone says your name, the phone vibrates.</p><p><a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/iOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>iOS</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/blind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>blind</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>accessibility</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/Braille" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Braille</span></a></p>

I contacted them about an issue I'm having yesterday and the initial reply, *human* reply that is, took just over 10 minutes. The issue is still ongoing as of now, but I'm confident that it will be fixed soon; I did contact them at the backside of the working day after all. Not bad at all for the monthly price of just under a fiver! Also, bonus points for being a 2000s ISP, having started in the year 2000.</p>
