Used to fly helicopters and planes through it.

Small continuation about Atom, Pulsar was supposed to be a community fork of it to continue on. I haven't tried it yet and there's a large contributor list. Maybe someone here that's big on the opensource scene can vouch for it. Pulsar edit - github (alternatively you can consider Zed instead, from the makers of Atom)

Atom officially sunset on December 15th 2022 archived without maintenance. Electron was considered a mistake also, generally. These days there are malicious malwares with it (electron/injection) through discord allegedly. And while it was neat in its day participating in the live edit coding together scene - it probably isn't anything to suggest using over better maintained projects. Unless care is taken so that any risks can not manifest. Though the primary reason to not recommend is that it just won't be current and the chances that people maintain extensions for it properly is similarly small. Sublime would still be great if they managed to keep costs down. I haven't gotten around to renewing major version licenses since the price increases. A modern alternative to vs code, sublime (only because of cost factor, still single license for all platforms is alright), and notepad++ - for windows would be nice. Personally I use vs code at the moment, but held comfort when there we had at least three major modern choices. Rip atom.

You've made a contract with yourself over it and left it hanging over your head. It remains in your profile as a goal. I think it might do you some good to resolve it one way or the other. Personally I'd suggest reinstalling blender and giving yourself a decent chance. A real patient chance. The hardest part will be trying to not expect too much of yourself. If you need help getting used to shortcuts, or finding how to enable the search menu - I am sure there are plenty of people capable of giving you a pointer in the right direction. If you struggle with generalistic modelling exercises. Perhaps succeeding with implementing a replica of the basic cube prim with all its functions correctly replicated would feel good for simply succeeding*. *with the caveat that you'd be excluding any of the torture features. Only the material features, orientation, and physics counts.

I wouldn't be interested in how frequented an off-topic section is. I don't care for pumping up numbers with random nattering. What I would be interested in is if off-topic frictions were kept in off-topic somehow. Case in point the frictional grief between BilliJo and Love Z (and other such examples) is the kind of thing I just don't care to see in threads. It was a one job assignment in a thread about garbage and off-topic. Explain to me how the rest of the forum benefits and advances from the existence of an off-topic section. Are there issues having and continuing those kinds of discussions in-world between interested parties? Some other fundamental need?

@Scylla Rhiadra I think what Starberry was trying to suggest was that ***** itself is not illegal if you remove all the illegalities of illegal depictions. But the topic itself has come out because of depictions or activities that are that some A rated venues have to or are expected to moderate against, including and not excluding any other rating. Some people may feel attacked generally, or may feel some of their friends are attacked generally by the topic if they lose sight of the issue of adult activities specifically.

@Scylla Rhiadra Fair and agreeable response. Matters of internal code of conduct and stuff aren't really in our purview. The acknowledgement of it and ongoing investigations are more a courtesy or so. There was always a risk over time though the more active the content persisted that eventually this situation is born out of it. Dealing with the situation previously more or less just moved it around or at least that is how I perceive it. Policies and enacting/enforcing policies is more in their immediate circle of control. So the statement and the policies are what is left for us as a topic.

It's not going to fold. They are going to make changes and keep going as Brad has said. The only way it would fold is if the revenue nose dived long term and it wasn't sustainable. This is not the first time Second Life has had this topic. It is at least the second if not third. Off the top of my head relating to a european ruling. Some years back someone was disappointed that not much seemed to have been effective since then to remedy the situation. They posed if they should involve the German government again or something at that point. Later down the track we arrive at this point with a lot of people speculating based on their preferences and desires in both directions. Curious people note the hard to refute and at the time obtainable confirmations of pointed to content. As well as depictions of early followers of triggering event that have the means and capacity to make such links in detail. The fact is it has happened, things were found, it has been acknowledged. The sooner everyone gets over that the sooner they can be a practical voice of what is the best balance to address the problem.

Some legal matters were referred to earlier in the thread.

Sometimes though people need to keep in mind that people are at times expressing condensed versions of legitimate experiences that happen across the grid. And try to not get overly defensive or touchy about it. There are old infamous beaches closed that have dispersed what you would describe as on topic and assorted 'fans of the playground' types that Zalificent was describing, that some region owners have to deal with. The Lab has always had a land owner responsibility policy out there somewhere regardless of if it was enforced or not. The owners have always had to deal with this topic and as such some have placed signs out to let people know that they will not accept any excuse or reasoning if they are made uncomfortable about a questionable appearance.

Regular supported prims have been increased to a 64m dimension for ages now, you don't need megaprims for any temporary planning work.

one might wonder why so called garbage content is vehemently described that, when it isn't physically the problem it is made out to be in every place on the grid. It just isn't how it works. But seeing as "someone making money" keeps coming up, it is probably self evident the real reason why this keeps happening even though the grid hasn't fallen over from a booggyman.

Already done. They even zero out entire objects at distance. ahem.

I want to apply three different reactions but I'm going to have to settle for just the one. Not my fault I do like your tongue in cheek post, though. props.

I am presuming you will next go: aha, gotcha, it was one of those fancy render a 3D object on a webpage natively. As if the web browser dictates a 3d model for other engine contexts.
