This means that when I enter a new region I often see a pop-up asking if I want to hear its stream. Good, except that the pop-up is one of those persistent always on top sorts of things and you can't do anything in the region until you address the music pop up. If you happen to fly into the region, your avatar is frozen and all movement disallowed until the music pop-up is addressed. I'd really like for that pop-up to be less demanding, not only to allow movement, but also to allow me to sample a stream before allowing or disallowing. Streaming music is all-too-often given labels that don't reflect their content. This means that the pop-up demands that before proceeding any further that I decide if I want to hear something like "Domain 104.251.122.71" without explaining what on Earth that is. There might be a better answer but I'd be inclined to leave music streaming unchecked before entering another region, then decide if I want to hear what's on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luna Bliss Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 I'm annoyed that whenever a time for a meeting is stated so many people will ask "SL time"??? Oh I know why they do that, and I have some sympathy, but still, I feel irritated. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then, if they still ask "SL time???" they are either trolling, or reading/comprehension challenged. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh no, you can't say 1400 SLT because then the 'Murricans cry about you using 'military time'. Because, apparently, using a system to tell time based on, you know, how many hours are actually in a day, is incomprehensibly difficult. Almost as difficult as dividing and multiplying measures of weights, volumes, and distances in factors of ten! 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's actually not a quality of life feature, But a security feature that was designed to stop medias from connecting you without your permission, to websites outside of second life. It does give you a way to tell what is trying to connect with you.. In that popup is the url of whatever is trying to connect with you, which you can look at with your external browser.. If you right click the url, it will give you the option to connect with the URL from outside of second life using your external browser.. If it's a radio station, you'll be able to tell what kind of music is playing.. Then you can click to allow it to stream in your in world viewer or not.. I'm not gonna get into the details too much because I was up late and just kind of on my first cup of tea this morning.. But when those filters came around, it was in a scary time in SL and gave a wake up call about security to a lot of users.. I pretty much never leave home without my media filters on..

Well, to be fair, the only folks in Europe in UTC+/-0 are those in .. Iceland, Ireland, Portugal, and Great Britain.

Then there's UTC+2, where vodka begins to replace coffee as the breakfast brew of choice. Except Finland. 'Cause no one drinks as much coffee as Finland. ..
