In my area (Central Europe) mostly wild animals, foxes in particular

Same here, never had any problems so far, but every so often I hear or read that one should be careful 😅

From what I know rinsing should be good enough, however I have literally no way to back this up, so do your own research. Whenever I have access to clean water I rinse anyway, if it might not help, it certainly won't hurt.

For instance, this German article says that it is likely a myth that wild berries are an infection vector, since there have not been many / any cases traced back to this source conclusively, but that it is hard to definitively link it to a certain source, since it takes a lot of time from contact to the first symptoms.

Even so, the infection rates are going up in the last few years, but that may be completely unrelated to wether people pick wild berries or not

Yes, very delicious!

And they also grow great in a pot on the balcony, just dig out a plant in the woods, they'll multiply like weeds

edit

Just wanted to add: If you are in an area where tapeworms or similar parasites are prevalent, be sure to give any wild berries a good rinse before eating

I'm no expert on inspecting bridges, but I'd think that you still would need a professional inspector to do the inspecting, only that they would save the time of actually travelling out to the bridge themselves and instead could do it in their office, no?

And then there are probably things which still need to be done on site, such as non-visual inspections (ultrasound, X-Ray, Vibration testing, Tourque measuring on bolts, paint thickness,...? IDK)

His shooting [...] was one of at least 38 in the last five years in which LAPD officers opened fire on someone who ended up being unarmed

So on average, more than 7 unarmed people get shot by police each year, in Los Angeles alone, never mind the whole country!?

This headline had me guessing wether it's about the US or some middle east state

Right, grab a GPS mouse, a 12v charger, a few Red Bulls, load up NetStumbler and let's go :)

Throwback indeed

For some great irony check out this wan show segment where linus talks about how he doesn't like that a prototype (backpack) of theirs ended up in the hands of the public https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwgZaSYuBLc&t=3209 Time 53:29, in case the timestamped link doesn't work

Yes, but it is very quick and cheap to get a domain validated cert from a CA that is generally trusted by most web browsers, so once the bad actor has the domain, the should be able to trick most users, only maybe certificate pinning might help, but that is not widely used.

To be honest, I'm not sure either, I'm new to this as well.

Under search you can enter their mastodon handle, which will then pull up the mastodon profile. From there you can follow, but I can't figure out where the posts show up either. I thought it wouls be in the "people" menu, but that seems to only pull up a selection of peoples profiles.

From.what I read in other comments, it should be possible though.

Another option is to use kbin.social, which lets you access both, lemmy as well as mastodon from one single account and user interface

Also, you can probably convert feet, inches, miles to yards, and one yard is 0.9144 meters, so for rough estimates 1yard = 1 meter, then take 10% off
