How did this terrible elevator control panel make it out of engineering design? How was it ever permitted to be installed?

Forget braille & tactile buttons, it is hard to know whether a button press has been registered even in its limited use case.

Have seen it in many places in #Bangalore #Bengaluru 😬

i really love #Mastodon. the community here is so much nicer, there are no ads, nobody trying to manipulate me, and no "trends" that i don't want to see.

but there are, like, seven people from #India on this whole entire network, out of which there are probably only two who live in #Bangalore.

i lost a whole community of developers, writers, artists, journalists, and other creative folk from India when #Twitter died. that community hasn't managed to come together again in the same way.

i hope the melon man bankrupts Twitter as quickly as possible so that people can either finally leave, or Microsoft can buy it up and make it boring again.

Several orange flowers blooming at the base of a large cluster of buds.
Close up of a cluster of buds. The buds form a conical shape with larger buds at the bottom and smaller ones at the top.
Wide shot of tens/hundreds of orange flowers covering the tree, rising above the deep green foliage.
