There's many uses , its just someone not thinking out of the box. Also, if LL can get this implemented without melting a low to mid-range gpu, it would be nice too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully people know the difference before they AR stuff My husband used to work for Sun Microsystems. We were throwing a party one year and my husband sent an email invite out to his team and then sent the same email on to me at work so that I could forward to my team. The email contained his normal work email signature. A member of my team, who happened to be Jewish, reported me to my manager because he thought I was sending emails out with the swastika symbol. Here is the Sun Microsystems logo: So yeah, there will be plenty of folks that can't distinguish what symbol is what. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy Huntsman Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 When people do a blog post and just link their actual Flickr on social media. And not a link to their actual post. I mean it may sound entitled. But when you have to dig through like 100s of pictures, as they do daily blogs. It does become a bit of a pain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peeve: If they can have working mirrors in The Sims, we can have them in SL, too. Anyone claiming that only "girls" play The Sims, they've got another think coming. There are tons of games out there, new and older than SL, that have reflections and mirrors. There's no reason other than LL not wanting to put in the effort, for there not to be mirrors in SL. It would be a practical addition if you stop to think about it. No more having to switch your cam back and forth while dressing which means it takes less time for you to dress and have more time for fun! Mirrors make small rooms look larger. Mirrors can bring the outdoors, in. Photogs love using mirrors in their work. There's more but I'm too tired to think of them tonight. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceka Cianci Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 That 20,000 leagues under the see sim would have been amazing if we really had mirrors back then.. I remember watching the video on that and how the guy made the illusion of spinning mirrors that looked like they really were reflecting images.. It will be so wild if we can actually have cracked mirrors and the reflection be just like a cracked mirror.. Probably have to use a few mirrors to make a cracked mirror though.. Still it would be neat and I'm probably hyping myself up way beyond what we will. get hehehehe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swastika is a symbol of the sun in Indian culture (and suddenly it dawns on me that might be the inspiration for the logo 😜). It's about the triumph of light over darkness ie. symbol used at Deepavali, which is today!. Also a harvest festival, and a chance for my neighbours to stick sparklers in my door grille and make a mess. There's also the Red Swastika Society, a Chinese philanthropic group, which does charity work and runs schools.

There's also the Red Swastika Society, a Chinese philanthropic group, which does charity work and runs schools. Also is in the southwestern Indigenous cultures in America. I'm just guessing, but the Germans may have even gotten the idea and modified a version of the symbol from there. Again just guessing, mainly because before WWII, they had anthropologist or spy's acting like anthropologist, come over to try and learn the languages, to try and break the code of the Code Talkers, because of Code Talkers being used in WWI.. From what I remember back when I was learning it, which has been a good bit now.. They really didn't use Code Talkers that much in Europe in WWII, because word got out that the Germans had people over here trying to learn the languages to crack Code Talker codes.. But, they were used more against the Japanese though.. Many think there was just the Navajo Code talkers, but there were the other southwestern indigenous and their languages as well that they would have to crack.. So they never really could crack the Code Talkers code.. That's a very rough version of that, since it's been awhile that I read on it and my memory not being the best.. I really kind of got side tracked there.. sorry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love Zhaoying Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Peeve: Not knowing what I'm doing. Having setup various things so I can try an electric guitar, I went and sorted through the "pile 'o guitars". Low and behold, only one electric (not counting the "electric-acoustic" or the lap/steel)..and it was a smaller youth learning model. Looks like a trip to the pawn shop is order, for a proper sized electric! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
