Overuse of antibiotics in EU farming threatens global health in c/europe@feddit.org

[–] unglueclass23@programming.dev 2 points 1 day ago

On a related note, does the US have some restrictions on antibiotics usage in farms? I'd imagine it's way more lenient. I wonder how they compare to the biggest abusers in the EU like Cyprus.

Also:

If it is said that :

"Under EU rules, the use of antimicrobials in livestock for growth or yield purposes is not allowed, nor can animals be treated with antimicrobials reserved for human infections."

and

"Antimicrobial medicinal products shall not be applied routinely nor used to compensate for poor hygiene, inadequate animal husbandry or lack of care or to compensate for poor farm management"

Yet Cyprus still does that ?

Cyprus also relies more on preventive and mass medication compared to countries with higher animal welfare standards.

A reminder to leave a negative review for the apps that force you to use google play services or completely don't work on custom android ROM's.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smart_id This was the app. A lot of banks use it here in Lithuania for logging in, confirming transactions.

Jean-Baptiste Kempf is lead developer of VLC and president of VideoLAN. Kieran Kunhya is a longtime FFmpeg contributor, codec engineer, and the person behind the now-infamous FFmpeg account on X.

Not a fan of Lex Fridman but I think some people might find the interview interesting.

TLDW:

Don't trust random USB ports or cables – Public ports can steal your data (juice jacking), and malicious cables like the OMG cable look identical to normal ones but contain a hidden computer that can remotely attack your device.
Your car shares more than you'd expect – When you plug your phone into a vehicle, it can pull contacts, messages, and other data, which may then get shared with manufacturers, third-party services, and data brokers.
Built-in protections are easy to screw up – Running outdated software makes attacks more likely. Plus, you might accidentally tap "trust" on a prompt, or be too lazy to switch back from "data" to "charge only" mode, leaving you vulnerable.
USB data blockers physically sever the data pins – They only pass power, completely blocking any data connection at the hardware level so nothing can flow in or out. Cheap and simple.
