@Lisa Melton

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 work in #GameDev and write video #transcoding tools.

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

Twenty five years ago today I started the #Safari and #WebKit projects at #Apple Computer.

Which means Safari is now old enough to rent itself a car. But let's not speculate about my age.

I'm still sad I can't use Safari on my Windows PC. Alas, I lost the battle to keep it there. But at least WebKit's DNA seeded or influenced most browsers we use today.

And I'm proud of that impact. Along with the wonderful team I built who made it all happen. Here's to another 25, friends.

Cheers. 🥂😊💖

Would you like to play a demo of my new game? Sure you would!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4377480/Burn9/

It's called "Burn-9," a turn-based tactical visual novel. You're the operator directing a super soldier fighting for her life in a secret Antarctic military base.

The demo is short but our game director and author, my nephew, has a very long story to tell once we're all done.

Let me know what you think! And if you find a bug, please let me know because I'm the QA lead. 😊

This thread is awesome. Read it.

If you're #trans, it's difficult not to shed a tear in pride. 🥹 Or to raise a fist in resistance. ✊️

To my sister @nprofile1q... , thank you so much for writing this. 🏳️‍⚧️💖

Long rant incoming...

I hadn't looked at the BIO text field of my own Mastodon profile on the Web in quite awhile. Long ago I formatted it with one extra carriage return between each paragraph to increase legibility.

But now it's rendered as a compressed, hard to read single blob with no vertical spaces. WTF?!?

Why is Mastodon taking away my agency and butchering my typography? Is this going to happen to our posts next?

This insulting and unnecessary change needs to be backed out!

Just checked stock market futures and everything is heading down, on a elevator to Hell as the prophet Hudson put it.

Is this anything to be concerned about?

Depends on whether you want to believe Trump, who's sending failson JD back to negotiate, or the Iranians, who say they won't be at the table.

But don't worry. Trump will just make some shit up in the morning to spike the market and enrich his cronies and family. Again.

What a time to be alive.
