Kaspersky Antivirus is Now Available for Linux. Will You Use it?
Is Kaspersky for Linux the security solution we've been waiting for? Or is it just security theater for paranoid penguins?Sourav Rudra (It's FOSS)
So why do I need this in an open source environment then?
Well, if I am to take a cyber assurance policy for my company where we only use Linux I need not only antivirus but a professional grade anti virus.
I am a bit hesitant to the Russian origin though. Panda and a few others seems to have similar products.
Same goes for my web services host, need to have AV.
So thanks for the article and may I look forward to a comprehensive guide to Linux AV products?

The big boy book of There Is No Antimemetics Division is available now.
It's extremely good, because the original work is extremely good. I was hoping rewrites and the professional editing process would improve it significantly, but the changes are mostly neutral. There's an audiobook, which is nice.
The work, in any of its available forms, comes with my highest recommendation. One of my favorite works of fiction of the past 10 years.

I've just finished reading They Called Us Enemy by George Takei. I've had that book on my to be read shelf for some time, waiting for the moment when I felt up to the emotional impact. What an insightful work! WOW!
It's about how the US government rounded up US citizens of Asian descent (including Takei's family) and incarcerated them in order to "protect" the US during WW2. Of course it left me angry with the US government, but in that it's timely. The current administration is already recreating internment camps.
I can't recommend it highly enough.

Apparently an engineering issue with Springer Nature platform is inflating citations for their online journal articles through circular citation links. They were informed by the preprint authors months ago, but nothing's happened so far.
Found this one while I was typing up something on a couple of spectacularly terribly written Scientific Reports papers and asking how they passed peer review. Hmm.

We had the Gabe-gear, now we have the Gabe-cube ;)
If I hadn't just got a new SFF pc I'd be super interested. I'm hoping the Frame will be cheap enough to justify as I recently got properly into VR via the Steam link app on the quest 3s and the Frame solves every issue I have.
At the very least I'll get the controller, deck with the middle removed, exactly what I thought they would do.

Though @Gargron, is there any particular reason four images was picked instead of five? Is this an ActivityPub thing?
Haha, got it. I don't particularly mind since for general purposes I imagine very few people even get to four on a daily basis.
