My name is Elizabeth but please call me Lisa.

I'm probably best known as the person who started the #Safari and #WebKit projects at #Apple. You may think you know my deadname but... you don't.

I've drawn underground comics, pioneered using a Mac for newspaper graphics and developed software at Adobe and Netscape.

Now I write video #transcoding scripts and sometimes podcast.

Follow me and I'll fill your timeline with boosts.

Command-line-geeks:

WHAT option do I give to "tar" to tell it to remove all files that may exist in the directory path - such that it will remove files that are in the path that are NOT in the archive.

I backup my macports directory to a tar file prior to updating to the newest ports. SO if I need to revert, I want everything in /opt to be replaced with my tar file contents - and I want files in /opt that are not in my tar file to be removed.

Help? TIA! 🙏

Okay, I won't say this is always true, but it almost always is in my experience.

BTW, you can follow the posts I make at my new website using the @lisamelton.net account. plugin, FTW!

The website itself is at https://lisamelton.net/ if you prefer to read the old-fashion way. And, of course, it's all available in RSS format, too.

I'm still a massive nerd. That hasn't changed and probably never will.

My apologies to any of you visiting a post page at https://lisamelton.net/ and seeing what looks like garbage instead of HTML. 😬

It's not garbage, it's the version of the post in JSON format. 🤦‍♀️

This is caused by some weird Heisenbug where the proxy cache requests or is sent the wrong content from the plugin. Go freakin' figure. 🤷‍♀️

Anyway, I've temporarily disabled the remote proxy cache and enabled a local static cache instead.

Let me know if you see this again.

As you know, I use the advanced Web interface to read and curate Mastodon. Changes to the nightly build on Monday disrupted that by removing certain features. But yesterday @renchap said changes restoring that functionality are on the way.

My thanks to the development team for listening and working on this!

So, I'm going to turn my firehose of boosts back on now. Keep in mind that the flow won't be quite the same until those fixes are in. Thank you for your patience. 💖

It's bad enough that MAGA thugs are bum rushing us to a Trump dictatorship and, you know, trying to eradicate people like me by stoking fear with the uninformed.

But do they have to be such whiny bitches about it all?

Bro, are your white christian privelges and spray-tan Jesus really that fragile? Are your feelings so hurt that all you care about is revenge?

This grievance shit is getting old and I'm tired of it. Let's vote so hard that these fuckers will truly have something to cry about.

There's good and bad about suddenly having a very personal post (not from my firehose of boosts) go viral here.

The good thing is that YOU'RE ALL AWESOME!! 😊🥰💖 So much heartfelt support, so many kind words, so much useful advice. And not a Nazi anywhere!

The bad thing is that my notifications sound like a goddamn Pachinko machine and I feel obligated to respond. 😬

I'm going to try and write more posts like that. But I can't always reply to everyone or even reply the same day. My apologies. 🫂💜

I made a follower-only alt for my spicier takes (and selfies?) if anyone wants to shoot me a follow. Apologies if I don't accept a follow (especially from cis folks) I'm going to be fairly discerning https://transfem.social/@rooster

@rooster I assume you don't want me boosting anything from this new account?

@rooster Excellent! That way I can't fatfinger anything.

At first I was wondering if you had a new headband and then... yeah, it's the mask we all have. 😂

Say "hi" to J for me. I'll be seeing her tomorrow.

You are all so wonderful!!! 💖🥰💖🥰💖 Just know that the affirmation I'm getting today is very much appreciated. And while there has been crying, it was all tears of joy. 😭🥲

I'm so sorry I haven't responded to any of your mentions or DMs yet! But there are hundreds. 😬🤦‍♀️ And I had to go AFK to roll out my new website and then race to my therapy appointment.

But you definitely deserve better!

I'll be trying to catch up and "favorite" all the mentions and "follow back" all the new folks soon.

Some of you may wonder why I don't post more. Two reasons, really.

First, I do have other responsibilities in this life and quality posting takes time. At least for me.

Second, I read an absolute metric fuckton of toots before I boost any of them! And that takes even more time. You may think it's a torrent, but you're seeing less than 1% of what I read.

One of these days I might write a blog post on how I find them all and then select them. Would any of you be interested in that?

Oh wait. That's not good.

While you can follow the posts I make at my new website using the @lisamelton.net account here, please know that I've been replying to your comments on those posts at https://lisamelton.net/ itself. So, you may not see my replies unless you visit the website. D'oh! 🤦‍♀️

This is due to how the plugin currently works. 🤷‍♀️

I wanted to make sure you wonderful people didn't think I was ignoring you! 😬

And, just to be confusing, I may reply to some comments using this account, too. 😉

Did everyone get enough toots today? 'Cause ya know I can find more.

What about you in the back? Bueller?

@lisamelton@mastodon.social avatar

You might have noticed that I'm back on my bullshit boosting toots. Sorry about the looong hiatus earlier today. But sometimes my hiatus gets swollen and tired. And has to nap, I guess. You know how it is. 🤷‍♀️

Anyway, I love this job because it means hanging out with all of you wonderful weirdos. Thank you. 😊🥰💖

MOAR BOOSTS INCOMING!! 📣
