A few hours earlier, around 2:40 a.m. EDT (06:40 UTC), it will observe the Galilean moon Io from a distance of ~11,000 km, the closest it has been to Io so far.

We had no idea that krill fishing was a thing!

Factory fishing in Antarctica for krill targets the cornerstone of a fragile ecosystem.

AP reports the harvested krill is used "for feeding farm-raised fish, omega-3 pills, pet food and protein shakes."

Today, the Istanbul Convention enters into force in our Union.

It aims at protecting women from violence and to prevent, prosecute, and eliminate it by:

🔹 training professionals in contact with victims of violence;

🔹 running awareness-raising campaigns;

🔹 empowering their police and justice system to remove perpetrators from the house.

We will only live in a truly fair and equal Union when and girls no longer live in fear of violence.

We applaud the changes that Google and Apple are introducing with their latest round of updates. Cell-site simulators continue to be a problem for privacy and security all over the world, and it’s good that mobile OS manufacturers are starting to take the issue seriously. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/09/apple-and-google-are-introducing-new-ways-defeat-cell-site-simulators-it-enough

@eff “Apple has also finally taken steps to protect users against cell site simulators after being called on to do so by EFF and the broader privacy and security community. Apple announced that in iOS 17, out September 18, iPhones will not connect to insecure 2G mobile towers if they are placed in Lockdown Mode”

Well done @eff, but - why only in lockdown mode for something that afaik could be implemented without service degradation?

I wrote about the man you've probably never heard of, who arguably has caused more deaths than Stalin, Mao, or Hitler -- and the astonishing hypothesis that helps explain why crime rates spiked globally so much during the second half of the 20th century, before plummeting inexplicably in the 1990s. https://www.forkingpaths.co/p/did-leaded-gasoline-cause-a-huge
