Modulated Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Major Peeve: I noticed today while blog hopping for sales, that a skin maker is very obviously using AI in its ad for something they did for an event-there is no way a SL skin is ever going to look like that. This is troubling and akin to false advertising IMO. Either don't use AI or have some disclaimer that clearly states the image was enhanced with it. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose that varies by country or region and on looking up what a felony is, I've never done anything that warranted a year or more in jail but have had some misdemeanors long ago which did seem to exclude me from ever being asked to do jury duty. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it was just the ad that was ai'ed and not the skin itself? I would personally love to buy a skin that was ai'ed as I have seen some very nice ones that were unfortunately still a part of the avatar.

Definitely the ad, there is no way a skin is going to look like that in SL-it's just not possible. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Maine is the only state that allows felons on juries with no restrictions. Seems odd though since it would be closer to, "A jury of your peers" if they allowed them. 🤔 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love Zhaoying Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Peeve: I got 2 replacement permanent crowns put in today at the dentist. That's not the peeve.

Gabriele Graves Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Where I live, when you go to get your hair done, if they are training someone new and want them to do your hair they a) ask if that's OK and you can refuse, b) you often get a discounted rate if you let them. I think that concept should flow to anything where you would expect skilled/professional services at those kinds of prices. Never had a trainee do dental work but if it were me I would probably ask to be rebooked for a time without a trainee. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the Paul Michell salon school in my city, you can choose between having a A student or one with a lesser standing to do your hair. You'll pay more for an A student, but it's still cheaper than most salons. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am seeing this a bit lately. Taking a chance to pay up to 1k lindens for something that might not even look good on your avatar, no thanks. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is quite annoying to log in and get bombarded with windows about stuff I have been registered for, opting out of it all is an absolute pain and deliberately so - if you even can. It's spam and it's annoying! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's spam and it's annoying! It's spam when it's not wanted, but I don't think it's necessarily Linden Lab's job to get rid of it. When we're sent a notice or a message, the viewer (at least the Firestorm viewer) lets us know where it came from. If it came from a subscriber, you can usually teleport to it and unsubscribe yourself. Sometimes store owners put their subscribers where they can't be teleported to, which is evil imo, so you might have to block the owner of the subscriber. Recently, I've also found web-based subscribers that can auto-subscribe for several different stores. The ones I've found show a list of all the stores that subscribed you, when this was done, and lets you unsubscribe from them from their website list. Tips: 1. Follow the link in chat to the subscriber. 2. Turn on Show Invisible and look behind walls and under floors for an invisible subscriber box. Unsubscribe here by clicking on the box, if possible. 3. If the box is owned by or created by a 3rd party that subscribes for multiple stores, follow their link to their website and unsubscribe from every store that put you on their subscription list. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is hugely inconvenient though, in my opinion anyway. A single button "opt out" solution would be superior to this and it should also be the case that nobody is ever opted in without explicit permission which simply isn't the case right now, you are added to these things automatically. We took a stand against email spam with legislation around the world that forced single link unsubscription - I appreciate it's very much an honour system but major companies do adhere - and I feel SL really should have something similar. I know there's ways of blocking your way out of this annoyance but it's such a frequent one that I think instead of working around the problem maybe it should be tackled in a more proper way with a TOS update to bolster it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a shape maker on the marketplace who uses FaceApp or something to add big open-mouth smiles to all the pictures of his shapes. He sells a lot of shapes so the shape section of the marketplace is full of them. I am sure that if anyone buys those shapes they will be very disappointed with the results. Talk about false advertising. Edited February 22 by Stephanie Misfit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceka Cianci Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Peeve: I bought another set of bone conducting headphone because I loved my phillips ones so much and love listening to music at work.. but the phillips ones I would have to charge mid way through the day.. So I got another pair for the other part of the day.. The peeve is that I got the shokz Openrun pro, and they blow my phillips away.. The difference is like , night and day.. Now I have to hope that my new ones will last most of the day and only have to listen to an hour or two of lower quality sound.. Life is so hard!! \o/ 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garnet Psaltery Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 The Brave browser has suddenly stopped working. To my knowledge I haven't done anything that would have stopped it accessing anything at all - even Brave's own site. It doesn't work in a Private browser window or standard. I'm having to use Firefox with all its ads and lack of my Favourites or Passwords. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was using it last night yet with no problem although I can't check right now because the power is out this morning. Soon as it's back on I'll try it again and report. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missy Starchild Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 When I find an item I like, and it's not on the marketplace but rather in a store. Then I go that store, and every item is a million tiny preview images spread out over a massive area so I never find what I was looking for. Argh. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
