Tama Suki Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 I've always thought that my entire online existence can disappear at any moment. Stop and think about it for a moment, please. Are you aware that everything you put online from day one no longer belongs to you? And that could disappear anyway from one day to the next? That you actually have no control?

Sid Nagy Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 You brought up this thread. I don't see what there is to discuss. What you told in the OP is a given fact. Nothing more. 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally, the issue with online content and permanence goes in the other direction, things stay on for far longer than we want and with no way to control that either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I know how Twitter works. If you want to talk about technical specifications I am very pleased because I am really intrigued. This is the first real Forum in which I participate and the more I know its mechanics the more I am fascinated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, lets say you have virtual sculptures that you want to display, but someday SL could disappear and you sculptures with it. So you can setup a server in your garage/basement, to host a simple webpage, you load some free engine like Babylon that can read .OBJ and I think .DAE files too, and make your own exhibit with your work there, and no one will take it down for as long as you keep the server running. No one is going to find, its a hassle and it requires that you dedicate a bunch of hardware specifically to support that site, that´s why no one does it and everyone ends up using amazon, but it is technically possible. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmoe Whitfield Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Ive got a friend in SL that I deeply care about; it's always a worry that the person will up and vanish and I will have no way of knowing what happened to them. it will crush me for sure. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A powerful solar storm would be enough to make everything disappear and make our cell phones useful only as hammers. We must always be aware that all this can disappear at any moment. However, I was much more interested in the talk you started on Twitter and on reputation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnamon Mistwood Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 If SecondLife is unplugged tomorrow and all our virtual stuff disappears, we may mourn our loss, but we will adapt and find new ways to socialize or make money or waste time. It's what humans do. 11 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
