How to check compatibility of a hardware device with Ubuntu #hardware #compatibility #devices
@wolf480pl So yeah, I think that everything has compromises to some extent.
I chose #Linux as basis for @OS1337 because it solves the #driver problem for me and I know it. I'm just complete shit with #NetBSD which may arguably be the better option targeting low-end systems, but that'll again result in more pain and frustration getting other #apps ported over when I can't just say: "Target linux-#i486 and statically compile in all your dependencies" to any 3rd party as starting point.
#LiberatedFromFB #sperm #egg #fertilization #compatibility #mybodymychoice #storytelling <--- important!
For years, we’ve heard it told like a high-stakes race — millions of sperm, racing through the reproductive system like Olympic swimmers, all in a desperate dash to be the first to reach the egg.
The fittest wins.
The prize? Fertilization.
Cue the heroic soundtrack.
But that tale?
It’s mostly myth, deeply rooted in a male-centric view of reproduction.
Thanks to a 2020 study, we now know the egg isn't a passive prize at the finish line — it’s a powerful decision-maker in its own right.
Turns out, the egg and sperm communicate.
The egg releases chemoattractants — specific chemical signals — that draw in preferred sperm.
And for the others?
She slows them down with a repelling signal.
Cervical mucus, particularly L-mucus, filters out weak or low-quality sperm before they even get a chance to swim.
Bye, boy.
As researcher Fitzpatrick put it:"Follicular fluid from one female was better at attracting sperm from one male, while follicular fluid from another female was better at attracting sperm from a different male…"
Translation?
It’s about compatibility. It’s her body, her choice — down to a molecular level.
And once she’s made that choice and one lucky sperm starts penetrating the egg, she shuts it all down.
The egg releases a chemical that causes every other sperm’s head to literally pop off.
Yes — mass decapitation.
No second chances. No backup winners. No maybes.
Just the one she chose.
Oh, and let’s not forget the poetic ending:
Sperm? Smallest cell in the human body.
Egg? Largest.
She’s been running the show all along.
It’s about time we told the story right.
Credit to the respective owner (Respect)
We do not own this story — just lifting the curtain on the biological brilliance of women’s bodies.
Reproduction isn’t a race. It’s a conversation — and she gets the final word.

Has anyone else noticed the @pixelfed¹ "Sign-in with Mastodon" button?
Pretty neat! 
It's actually also a sign-up option. With a few clicks, you can import all your #Mastodon data & get started

"For forwards #compatibility ", but I don't get it.
> JXL_EXPORT void JxlEncoderInitBasicInfo(JxlBasicInfo *info)
> Initializes a JxlBasicInfo struct to default values. For forwards-compatibility, this function has to be called before values are assigned to the struct fields.
But if the struct gains new fields then old code still malloc's the old size. If this call sets up new fields in the future, it will crash.
What am I missing?
Please tell me you're not responsible for providing #support to end-users for anything important to them. Your attitude here, which I'll summarize as "You're out of luck and have no options and I don't care", speaks of utter #contempt for anyone who isn't you.
Suddenly (and with zero warning) #breaking #compatibility is a *major* issue, for any #software. The expectation that Chrome would continue working through this 127->128 upgrade was a perfectly reasonable one.
I found the answer. My #Android can connect at the reception where at least Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n) is available (according to #WiFiAnalyzer https://vremsoftwaredevelopment.github.io/WiFiAnalyzer/ #kotlin #opensource). However, in the room, there's only a legacy 802.11g (Wi-Fi 3) network, which the #Apple #iPhone can connect to, likely due to better #backward #compatibility.

Ah yeah, time for another #signet #saturday! Hope to be able to get #ScreenReader #compatibility done and ready to merge today.
Then after that, it'll be merging in all the #documentation that was created while getting familiar with the code base.
Followed by cutting a release and then creating additional documentation
More docs will make it easier for developers to join in, security experts to assess the design & implementation, and users to feel confident in the system
Well that hypothesis didn't pan out.
There must be something which triggers the screen reader that is not happening in my app...
The hunt continues...

I found the model, and the view/controller, now I just have to figure out how to use the signals and slots to get it working with the accessibility APIs.
I think the view needs to signal the model when the user selects a password entry, and the model needs to communicate the data that should be sent to the accessibility framework (or maybe signal to the accessibility framework that something changed and it should re-read that value)?
