March 31 was already significant to me because that's the day in 1998 when I helped #Netscape Navigator become #OpenSource.

Now this day has a whole new meaning for me as a #transgender woman. And it's my first #TransDayOfVisibility that I celebrate publicly since coming out to everyone on June 21 of last year.

To all my #trans siblings, I see you. Even if complete visibility isn't possible for you right now. You still matter. You're still loved. And you're still trans. Never doubt that. 🏳️‍⚧️🫂💖

Today in “men explain technical concepts to women who have more specific and deeper knowledge”:

• I was whinging about a page that required Chrome (which is, by definition, NotAFreakingWebPage because SomeRandomBullshit piped to port 443 does not a web page make).

• I was told that Chrome and Safari shared an underlying library.

Which: I was on the Safari team for 5-1/2 years, including the time when Google forked from WebKit, which was in 2013.

So.

Anybody else remember the “Stationery Pad” feature in the Classic Mac OS Finder? It was a checkbox in a file’s Get Info window that allowed you to turn any file into a template — when opened, it would require a Save As… and prevented you from overwriting a file you’d use as a starting point.

Good times. I wonder why that got axed? Seems simple enough (I know: famous last words of a non-programmer). #Apple #ClassicMacOS #macOS

When someone makes an image quote about not allowing anyone to judge you... and they use Papyrus as a font.

Pro move.

Anyone else thinking all the journalists and tech people out there, plus the people/potential customers/subscribers fed up with billionaires and near-monopolies, might present an opportunity?

If you have to do something you really don't want to do, how do you get yourself to do it?

Final snow tally at my place.

Up next she clears a four-foot drift off the laundry room roof.

In related news, clearing one's driveway four times in three days has little to recommend it.

@tantramar Are you being buried until 1.5 metre of snow? Looks pretty bad on the news.

@GottaLaff I'm kinda surprised that I haven't seen anyone here talking about the White House Medical Unit drug report.

(And by report, I mean jaw-dropping scandal.)

Anyone else have a cat who's into surprising human food? Mine loves beans, raw spinach, and rice cakes.

He's a funny kid.

If more people realized Large Language Models like #ChatGPT are giant swipe files and not "intelligence," we'd be a lot better off.

Pro tip on "cold" outreach for folks looking for new clients:

At minimum, read their About & Services/Products website pages.

Find some common ground.

Mention that when you reach out.

Keep it simple. Keep it light.

Keep it relevant. ⬅️​

Tell them what you do; that you're around if they need someone.

This can be a solid approach if you take the time to demonstrate you're paying attention.

Smart, reliable people can be hard to find. Be that person for your ideal clients.

You may disagree fervently with Pres. Biden's Israel policies, and that's fine. But if you come into my feed calling him "Genocide Joe" or any variation on that theme, you're blocked.

I've already had to block a few accounts for this.

Pres. Biden is not "for genocide." I will not argue with you on this topic, nor do I discuss the Israel/Hamas war here.

But I will not tolerate accusations of "genocide" by Pres. Biden. He's not "pro genocide."

If that's a prob, it's on you.

It’s been too long since I posted a picture of Hamilton and just got a request. Heeeeere’s #Hammy! Sleepy Hammy who loves everything. #DogsOfMastodon

& before my Debbie Downers do their usual pinning negative attributes to him, no: He’s not hungry, angry, sad, lonely, impatient, or deprived in any way, shape or form. He’s simply happy and cute.
