Did you miss what happened to onlyfans. How about this ACLU petition to mastercard over sex work? https://action.aclu.org/petition/mastercard-sex-work-work-end-your-unjust-policy I'm not being alarmist here. This is not some imagined fantasy disaster, this keeps actually happening and is something I had hoped of all here, you would be a little more informed about. This message is not for us. Our people is employees of Tilia and Linden Lab. Our customers is Tilia's corporate customers. So VRChat, Upland, Avatus, Kidari Studio, LEVVE⅃S, Astra and the rest. We are not included, customers .. residents .. players of this game, Second Life. Linden Lab walked into this on purpose. Intent-fully. The sale is their profit .. or cutting their losses having failed to make Tilia into more than simply the company that processes our funds. We're not all that. We're not even at the table. We're the albatross. Welcome to sex Wendys, may I take your order?

It's not hard to hook a chatbot into SL. The problem is setting up one that has some clue about what it's doing in SL. There's an anime sim which has some smart chatbots now. But you have to have an anime avatar to visit. They're strict about roleplay.

Yes, I called it an acquisition. I said that it evidently was not a hostile one, and noted that it was being couched as a partnership. That language matters -- as does this statement: "As part of the transaction, Thunes and Linden Research, Inc. (“Linden Lab”), the current majority owner of Tilia, have agreed to an exclusive five-year partnership in which, post closing, the cross-border payments company will provide payment processing and pay-outs to Linden Lab, leveraging Thunes’ global network – allowing gamers to pay, and to receive money real-time, in a more cost-efficient way and with increased transparency." And this quote from LL's owner: "It will be business as usual for our people and our customers as we bring Tilia and Thunes together.” Again, it's possible that LL is hiding something from us ("lying"), but this language very clearly suggests to me that this "five-year partnership" includes assurances, or at least the presumption, that Thunes isn't going to demand radical changes to SL as a condition of that continued relationship. Again, in general, profit-making corporations only get into the business of imposing "moral standards" or whatever you want to call it when they perceive that not doing so will hurt their bottom line. What that generally means is that corporations are responding to bad PR or external pressures when they impose such restrictions. The fact that SL is so clearly beneath the notice of most media, even when a series of putatively scandalous allegations have been made against it publicly, suggests to me that there is no pressure upon Thunes to do anything about adult content in SL. Why would they lose and/or possibly destroy one of the few customers that the Tilia acquisition brings with it merely on a whim? That may of course change, as circumstances change. But that was always going to be the case. (Flickr is annoying as hell, but their focus is not upon "cleaning up" their platform so much as it is upon encouraging or compelling its users to move to paid accounts so that they can advertise or host adult content. Adult content is not being removed wholesale -- except in some cases where it is happening in violation of Flickr's ratings rules. There's still no end of nudity, adult content, and outright porn on Flickr.) So far, I'm not seeing any reason to panic about any of this. Time may prove me wrong, but I just don't believe that LL walked into this blindly, without being sure that the sale would not scupper their only remaining revenue and profit source.

Having had a few hours to digest this, I've decided to postpone panic. It is perhaps mildly surprising -- at least the timing is -- as it seemed like Linden Research had ambitions for Tilia. On the other hand, maybe this was the exit strategy all along. On the third hand, maybe priorities no longer are what they were under the late Mr. Altberg. I suspect we will never know. Based on what little we do know, I don't see much reason for immediate concern. I think we can safely assume that Thunes know what they are getting into, including the adult contents. They are probably also aware that the Lindens have been more than hinting at embracing adult, er, experiences in The Near Future. I bet this side of SL is safe. That said, I do think it's odd that the Lab did not announce this themselves; only Thunes did. In cases like this, both parties usually send out press releases. Why the (pointless) silence?

Well they haven't posted on the forums in... seven years so they have some catching up to do! lol

No one cares about the nuevaux poor.

i understand. slink heads had rigged non-human ears and teeth too. i own one of of the ears but didn't snag anymore before it shutdown. hopefully, at least someone else reading the thread will find those simple elf ears helpful.

Oh gosh. So much. Paloma Faith, Iggy Azalea, Ghostland Observatory, Die Antwoord, Boomtown Rats, some funny one offs that are dirty but you can google if you want like “I Rock Onesies”. & I never knew I liked KISS until hearing them in SL.

This is not a partnership. This is an acquisition. https://venturebeat.com/games/thunes-acquires-tilia-payments-firm-from-second-life-owner-linden-research/ Any partnership post sale will exist between Linden Lab and Thunes to provide a payment processing for us to buy & sell L$ for 5 years (we have no details at this time, the devil as always will be in the fine print). LL have made a single line statement and made it clear (to Inara) they do not intend to add to the information that's been published on various news sites, and will not have further details for us till May 20th. It's hard to draw any conclusion at this point, least of concerning corporate mood. We have had the same 29 words posted here and on reddit with promise of more details in a little under a month's time. Concerning the single biggest platform change since LL itself was acquired, perhaps the single biggest shift in platform offering in SL's entire history that will impact everyone and everything we do. This is not how good news is delivered. Making it far easier for far flung corporate morality decisions to upend everything we do, as has been done to several other (far more valuable) internet properties over the years, and is currently getting our community booted from flickr. This is not some small policy change or drama. This is a fundamental part of the platform offering now under the complete and permanent control of an independent 3rd party (regulatory approval pending). They bought the asset they wanted. We are not that asset. Nothing we do is that asset. Nor is our existing business the reason they bought that asset. If we were all that, Linden Lab wouldn't have decided to sell the asset to begin with.

I've noticed a trend there (and other places in SL too frankly) where more rentals becomes available as the weather in the northern hemisphere become more agreeable. So i'm guessing that maybe some people spend more time in SL during their RL winter where maybe they don't get as much chance to be doing things outdoors.

Right. There's SL, and there's Upland, a somewhat sketchy NFT scheme. The tie-up with JP Morgan Payments didn't accomplish anything. That was a disappointment. For a while, it looked like Tilia might become a first-level bank product, rather than a third-level system that goes through PayPal to get to banks. But no. Not clear how Thunes will work, but if it works like Payoneer, which uses Thules, it might not be too bad. Thunes is plugged into the banking system properly. They have cross-border payments, currency conversion, real time payments, all the usual stuff.

Oh, Tilia, we hardly knew ye . . . I have no insights into this that others don't have, but it does seem to me that the chest beating (and covering up -- hide those boobies from Thune!) might be a little premature. This wasn't a hostile acquisition; LL was clearly in negotiations with Thune about it, and must already have a pretty good idea of how this is going to unfold from the perspective of SL. And, as others have noted, this is being couched as a partnership -- whatever that means. I find it hard to believe, myself, that LL would knowingly enter into what appears to be a mutually satisfactory relationship with a company upon which it depends to keep SL afloat without knowing ahead of time that this was not going to impact negatively upon SL. It just doesn't seem credible to me that Thune is going to enter into such a relationship, and then immediately turn around and smack LL hard on the only real asset it still has remaining. And LL itself sounds upbeat about all of this. Could it be that they know something we don't? Now, LL could of course be lying, and knows we are all doooooomed, but generally the company is more inclined to go silent when bad stuff is happening -- like that sulky spouse or partner who won't open up about what is bothering them. And of course, a year or so down the road, Thune could get sold to someone else, or have a leadership change, or whatever, that changes the ballgame. The one thing going for us in such an instance is that no one cares about SL. The platform has just faced some of the nastiest allegations that have ever been levelled publicly against it, and . . . no one cared. There was almost no pickup in the media about this. Companies do have corporate cultures, I guess, but mostly they'll only react to things that are hurting their bottom line, and right now SL is flying so far beneath everyone's radar that there really doesn't seem to be much chance of that happening. ON THE OTHER HAND, this DOES offer a fantastic opportunity for us all to once again wring our hands in despair, insist that sex is the only thing anyone actually does in SL anyway, and complain about "pearl clutchers." In terms of the latter, I've polished up my set -- an admittedly cheap set of cultured freshwater ones -- and am ready to start bleating on about "preverts" and sex-crazed sickos as soon as I'm needed!
