Hi Zalificent, Thanks for sharing your concerns, and I appreciate your candid perspective. I understand the skepticism regarding the financial management post-acquisition and the challenges of reaching new markets, especially in underbanked regions. To address your points: First, while the possibility of using funds to manage buyout debt exists, strategic investments in technology can also spur long-term growth, as seen in other tech sectors. Expanding our user base isn't just about finding 'untapped markets'; it's about making our platform more accessible and inclusive, which aligns with broader trends in technology adoption globally. Regarding Thunes, it's important to clarify that their network supports a variety of transaction services that could facilitate easier access to platforms like Second Life even in regions where traditional banking infrastructure is scarce. Finally, the point about hardware limitations is well-taken. However, global trends in cheaper and more accessible technology are rapidly changing this this landscape. I appreciate the hardware requirements for SL can be prohibitive, but perhaps with the advent of the mobile platform we might see the barriers to participation reduced. As an example, one business I'm involved with competed in the Global Learning XPRIZE a few years ago. I appreciate there are some criticisms of the XPRIZE organisation, however several entrants had great success and did facilitate marked improvements in remote communities by a combination of software and inexpensive hardware innovations.

In the before times, I was a highly successful home builder and seller, by which I mean 2000+ sales per month as a sole operator without any CS team. I personally re-linked and repaired probably a handful of homes for customers where they had modified things a bit and couldn't face just rezzing a new one out of the box. I also provided what textures I could (not textures I used from 3rd parties) so they could add features that matched. It didn't matter if they turned one of "my" houses into some weird thing people would look at and think was ugly. They bought the houses, they should enjoy them how they want. Any creator who says differently just cares about themselves more than their customers. The only items I sold no-mod were no-copy transferable little cabins that I only made because of a lot of nagging to provide such things. I never took up with mesh building so that's all past history for me. I got in a weird conversation in a group with an aircraft builder who wanted to know the far ends and ins and outs of what I was doing with "her" plane. I bought the hecking thing, I was doing what I wanted with it. File under "nunya." Recently I got some new land and bought one of Cory Edo's houses, and I'm glad and grateful that she sells with mod permissions. The building is almost unrecognisable from the vendor image now with extensive modifications and retexturing. Maybe it's not everyone's taste, maybe she wouldn't like it, I don't know, but I'm happy with it and I sincerely thank her for putting her customers first.

You're most welcome! And quite right about the truth of the moment as you felt/feel it! All Truths Are True, so how you felt about her in the moment (and even other peoples who had same/similar experiences) is truth! I simply felt inclined remind it isn't the only truth or way to have experienced her and those happenings-- which, I think you understood just fine and it's totally okay you're still learning, I am too! I also think in such cases it's totally okay to honestly say/tell her, "You feel like an evil person to me right now!" versus "you are an evil person!" if you can manage such, because the first one is you expressing the truth of your feelings with total ownership that it's your experience of her behavior and choices... versus the other one which uses the truth of your feelings and takes it a step further by making an attacking assumption that her behavior and choices mean she's an evil person (when the truth of our present reality is that the number of really evil people is surprisingly small/tiny compared to the number of generally good and good-desiring people who just get emotionally worked up and or stressed out to the point they do evil/evilish stuff and behave in seemingly evil ways even though they really want to do and give better... they just haven't yet learned the best ways to get what they're really aiming for-- which for BossLady, sounds like she wants someone her vibe and pace (a hustler) to be a legit partner (split/share the workload/to-dos,) someone like her but more willing to follow orders and her lead. Anyroad.) Frankly, BossLady sounds like my Mom, whom I've recently felt similar as you have, that my Mom is kinda evil for the things she's willing to say to me and accuse me of-- but I happen to know she's not evil, she's just got a mountain of emotional baggage (fear, anger, & woe/pain) she's been carrying around with her since before I was born (I'm 38 now) and it's all that pain and hurt that has filtered her perception of people to believing there are too-few good peoples in the world (when really, there is an abundance of good peoples, she just hasn't healed herself enough to open herself to having good experiences with them, or even me yet.) So, she ends up lashing out with all that pain and hurt bubbling into outrage and anger that turns into personal attacks on my beingness/personhood-- my way of life, my job, my money, my "inhumanness", etc. All of which I have learned only comes out of her when she's feeling bad about herself or her life-- doesn't matter the reasons, the results are almost always in the same vein of "what a crappy world we live in, how crappy people are, how crappy I am".... but our world isn't crappy nor are the people, nor I except sometimes what I say or do in a heated moment.... we're all just learning! And sometimes those learning curves get ugly! lol I laugh with forgiveness for my own contributions to various ugliness. Forgive yourself, forgive her if/when you're ready, and you can still go your seperate ways, just without carrying the residual hurts to add to the gravity of any other hurts from other happenings in your life, you may still be holding onto (which really also just translates to, you have yet to look at those happenings from a perspective that feels more forgivable and capable of giving you the sense of appreciation and relief it happened, it taught you, and is in the past to teach you more every time you allow yourself to look at it from yet another perspective.) Here are a few visuals I've made during my own journey to making sense of my life and how I experience it, and can practice my way to having better, more fun and fulfilling experiences (in both SL and RL! xD) "Eyes of the Observer" is all about reminding myself (and others seeking) that the full spectrum of ways you CAN perceive & experience a happening or thing is available to you as soon as you give it your attention. The other part to remember is that your choice-making patterns through your life so far, will prime your reactions to automatically go to the perspective that's most used/familiar with experiencing. This is why angry people who don't practice ways to switch out of anger and into other emotional states, just get increasingly more angry and volatile to the point tiny things become HUGE triggers.... or why someone can rapidly funnel down into an "I can't/it's useless" pit of rock-bottom despair. Each experience makes the next experience like it, easier and quicker to obtain/feel again and the ones we feel the most become the "easy button" emotions we kind of default to for most of our engagements with reality. Explore what vibes best with you right now, let the rest go.. you can always revisit later! Thank you for your time & may you have fun on your personal journeys!

My belief is they are more likely to spend the cash on paying off some of the leveraged buyout loan, and share holder dividends. An SL lumbered with buyout debt is harder to re-sell than one that's clear of debt, and would fetch a better price. Here we go again with the "vast untapped new market" that doesn't actually exist nonsense again. What a load of Bollocks. Thune's is a B2B network, they specialise in connecting fake money crypto-cap not-banks in Tax-Avoidance Havens to real banks in the civilised world. The don't do "customer facing" or "payment processing". The Third World Countries, where people earn a $ a day, paid in cash you mean.. Heads up, people who earn a $ a day not only have limited access to credit cards, and paypal, but also have limited access to PC's capable of RUNNING SL at all. Awful Mac whyLaps and whyPads are not common accessories in economically deprived "unbanked" areas. "A VAST untapped new market of people who can't PLAY SecondLife because they don't own and can't afford to buy the hardware!" is no new market at all.

Currently on a holdover: older gen i7, 16 GB RAM, GTX 970 while waiting for the mail to arrive with the parts so I can repair my daily driver. Cost me about 300 USD several years ago. Works surprisingly well, for now. Turns out SL isn't that bad with settings just between mid and high.

I said de-facto abandoned, meaning delinquent with nobody paying the tier on it, and I'm absolutely convinced the mainland is full of such parcels. You said yourself "sooner or later" and in my view it's usually later by years.

I still have my flip phone. So when the Lab opens up the app for mobile after all the testing --- it will still not run on the flipper! 😂🤣

Second Life ultimately requires patience. L A G G Y

I always open from the middle, never really thought about it though tbh, just feels natural to open from the middle.

Yup, almost same here, mines a frankenstein build, secondhand dell pc, ( checkout prices on a refurbished 10 year old dell pc ), pcie adaptor so i can run a nvme drive, win 10, and a nvidia rtx 2070 and power supply out of my 8th gen pc that died. good enough for what i do on SL.

I just noticed a gaping hole on the map near the western edge of the Ranch subcontinent - it's between Horse Country and Weevil sims. I don't recall seeing a void in that area before. I'm sensing something special planned for that space - maybe a Ranch Community Region?

@Rowan Amore Seems you don't get it: Where I live, we have 2 years warranty on all electronic devices and for that period the burden of proof of the default is on the manufacturor, not the end user. In other words, if the hinces of my laptop break off because I open it from the sides instead of the middle, that is their fault because they should have taken it in account that there are different ways to open a laptop. If they wished that I opened the laptop always from the middle, they should have mentioned that in the manual. Failing to mention that in the manual, grants automatically the warranty to the end user. I know, our warranty laws are pretty strict, but they protect the consumers.

In my previous posts I articulated a view of the strategic context of the Thunes acquisition. While these analyses present a fair view of our current state, I think it’d also be valuable to start a community conversation around the potential opportunities for Second Life over the next few years. My belief is that, while any financial windfall provides opportunities for technology and platform innovation, more importantly this move also provides a real opportunity for Second Life to engage with a new global audience, and be seen as a new model for global financial inclusion. The idea that Second Life provides a model for financial inclusion isn’t new, at its core it has always been a platform which uniquely supports creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurial activity. By leveraging Thunes' global network however, Second Life now realistically has the opportunity to expand its user base in new geographic areas that were previously limited by payment processing infrastructure and cultural inclusion constraints. Specifically, by enabling easier, more reliable payment methods for users in unbanked and underbanked regions, Second Life can become a more accessible platform for users worldwide to engage in creative and economic activity. Thus contributing to the global movement for financial inclusion. In my view this expansion not only grows Second Life’s market but also enhances the diversity and richness of the virtual world’s economy.

First of all stop thinking about Second Life as being a game - it really is not a game. It's a 3D social thingy. Just as in RL it is often hard to meet people and socialise. The best thing I can suggest is do not try to hard as that may make you appear to others as pushy and attention seeking. If you are new to SL then take advantage of the new resident help places. There are lots of people willing to help you learn there and you will probably make tons of friends. Nobody expects a new resident to look amazing - if you do then they know you are not a new resident but are instead a recycled resident. Second Life is supposed to be for relaxation and enjoyment - if it is not providing you that then log out, take a break. Go outside and enjoy the sun on your face instead of the glow of a computer screen. As for finding places use the destination guide. Do not look at the popular now section - explore some of the other places instead. Find places that resonate with you and maybe you will also find some people that share the same thoughts.

I did contact them after the change to ask for my info to be removed and got a nice, if a bit sad, email back confirming it. I wasn't actually that bothered so it was more out of curiosity. Don't recall any 'consent' as such but there was something about it that I followed.

Personally, I like getting glimpses of which computers people (that I "know" in a vague use of the term, like forumites) use, I also sometimes watch "my desk setup", "my minimalist apartment", and the like on YT. Probably I'm just interested to see how others live, as I don't get into many other people's spaces "in real life". The most interesting aspect for me here is whether people bought their (beefy) computer expressly for SL or not.

A lot of the "no mod" thinking goes back into the distant days when people thought it allowed creations to be stolen. That was debunked years ago but it the thought remains - as does "clear your cache" solves all lag issues. However, it is the right of the designer to make their original creations no modify. With that said I would encourage designers to remember that time has moved on and full bright should be used on light bulbs only and if you sell it with copy rights then please also add a script scrubbing feature to remove the texture selector/resizer once we have it the way we want it. Thanks

The current one around 1.5k€, let's say 2k$ to make it simple, so pretty much your amount. The most pricy one I've used SL on was 2k€, and the first one is a bit hard to remember, I think it might have been a 399€ laptop. I need higher performant computers for my job, these years, didn't buy them "only" because of SL (but SL is a "side consideration" in buying, when I do, since my second foray into SL, didn't stick around after my initial curiosity visit). If I'd not need higher specs for work, I'd be fine with anything that does web browsing, email, YouTube and a few comparable streaming sites quickly and reliably enough. Come to think of it, though, I'd pay not any but a hefty premium to not have to downgrade to "back in the AOL days" speeds, in any case, where you could wash your dishes while waiting for one page to build up, admittedly! People my age and above will remember the excruciating pain and beeps of the early days

I wasn't registered for sansar side. I am with tilia for buying/selling l$, so I'll be watching this one.
