These seem to be the 'old style' Quicklook plugins, which aren't supported in the lastest macOS releases (I tried forcing it with the qlmanage CLI but didn't produce any output using that plugin).

I heard a meme of how "Meta" is short for "Metastasize" - seems like each new FB story makes it more and more of a reality.

But of course, Tim Cook likes to whine about Zuckerberg's hypocrisy on fees (which isn't happening yet), and complain about imaginary privacy nightmares if sideloading is allowed on iOS, while ignoring the very real and very curre

I was referring more to general attacks, the type that would have seemed too far-fetched decade(s) ago.

Wonder why the first picture with an app shows BTC going down, with the actual price covered up.

AFAIK it wasn't going to be a condo-like development, with restricted access to residents-only, so anyone could walk within the Sidewalk area, and potentially be tracked, willingly or not.

On-call? Do you get on-call pay? If not, have you asked for 3x normal salary, since they apparently think they own you 24/7?

Ultimately I think the proper solution would be either far more clearance, or a dedicated lane for trucks/large vehicles (probably ALL trucks) forcing them to turn. The casualty of that solution might be buses (as others pointed out th

I hate it when "opinion" pieces get passed off as legitimate articles (hence the almost-fine-print-sized section title at the top of the page). P.S. Not blaming the poster for submitting this - only the WP for publishing it.
