I know where to get those.

Give everyone the ability to return anything they see that is between two carefully selected altitudes anywhere on the Mainland. Now, what should those two altitudes be?

People have told me that I don't have a voice in this conversation because I don't use roads, rails or waterways for traveling. Well, I do rarely walk great distance. I usually fly un-aided or teleport. We have such great abilities there, and a couple of decent navigation aids, easy ways to save and share destinations we visit and pretty good ways to discover new destinations. Why is so talk of rehabilitating the mainland focusing on archaic and arcane transportations methods? I have to assume it's because people actually enjoy them. Do people really use planes, trains and automobiles to get around Second Life or are they using them because they enjoy using them? If it's for enjoyment, then please keep this in mind when considering remediation. Endeavor to make the result as enjoyable as possible and maybe more enjoyment will be had by more people.

@Gavin Hird This is no longer true. Desktop composition has been available with Windows 7 and Vista and has been mandatory since Windows 8. You will have to look elsewhere for your performance deviations.

If you were to happen to ask for advice from me, I would advise you to NOT add a bunch of switch logic to support exploitive hacks that never should have been perpetrated or to support rendering of things in ways that violate glTF just because that's the way Second Life has been doing it due to lack of comprehensive design. There isn't one damned thing in Second Life that is as expensive as the least expensive real-world product that I have been forced to stop using because either support infrastructure has been dismantled, the software that runs on it is dangerous to use, fuel is no longer legal and readily available, spare parts are no longer available, some troll of a lawyer acquired some legal rights to a method and is suing for licensing fees, etc., etc....

Note: Do not conflate RELEASE with DEPLOYMENT. I attended those meetings for several years prior to and after the start of forum posts about release and deployment plans. Lindens were mostly pointing out that Residents could read the plan in the forum after the automated release and deployment page generator broke shortly after the person running it left the company. The forum post was one man's proposed temporary solution to fill the void until the current release page was developed. The current release page does not include the intended deployment date. As you should all be aware by now, Linden Lab has adopted a policy of not making predictions, primarily because a few Residents get really dammed nasty when the predictions didn't become fact. (Those Residents will probably speak out publicly for our amusement soon.) Publishing a deployment schedule that includes product versions that have not yet been released (passed Quality Assurance testing) is making a prediction. Linden Lab likes to deploy server versions as soon as possible after they are released (pass Quality Assurance testing), thus, we often see a server version deployed mere hours after QA releases it for deployment because that release happens to be shortly prior to the regularly scheduled weekly simulator restarts. Released simulator versions are deployed during these regularly scheduled simulator restarts.

I have heard of bar coffee being fit to fill potholes but never heard of it causing potholes. What would happen if the two varieties were to meet?

In the good old days, before spreading out to three datacenters... I can still hear the noise of all the various machines stacked in the hallways! Most had AMD CPUs in them because "It seemed like a good idea at the time."

Hi. What operating system and version are you attempting this on? For example: Edition Windows 10 Pro Version 22H2 Installed on ‎6/‎16/‎2020 OS build 19045.3031 Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.19041.1000.0

unobserved collections unperturbed sets undisturbed systems

But that would be a pretty consistently useless reading of rendering pretty much nothing.

Remember when avatars would spontaneously fold in half?

... or fixing that bug breaks many things that were designed to depend upon it.

Get The Freight Out is a game played in Second Life. Check it out! I'm not telling anybody to leave, not even you, for not knowing there is a game with a ... weird name. Okay, let me explain myself here. I could have, and probably should have, selected another game with a name that might not be misconstrued. FROOTCAKE is the one I used to suggest when people maybe need a break from the community.secondlife.com and the acerbic behavior perpetrated within. Unfortunately, that game seems to have ceased to be available, so I picked a game that I am currently hearing people talk about. Pick another if it is not to your liking? I wonder if I should put my FROOTCAKE table out on publicly accessible land for people to play.

Or maybe go play Get The Freight Out?

What makes the biggest difference is what is being rendered. My i9-13900K and RTX 4080 will render better than my i9-9900K and 1070 GTX, but saying X FPS is useless because you don't know what they are rendering. I could have the i9-13900K and RTX 4080 bogged down rendering 5120 x 1440 in a crowd in a built-up area at dusk with shadows enabled and say 48 FPS and I could have the i9-9900K and 1070 GTX rendering 1920 x 1200 when I am alone in Voice Echo Canyon at mid-day with shadows disabled and say 180 FPS. I wish we had a test scene accessible to all via a method that makes it consistent for every test.

Maybe they are giving us enough rope . . .

And remember, if Governance tells us precisely where the line is, boots will line up right there.

I cannot imagine how a slideshow script needs to display "please wait". The ones I make use one of: textures in task inventory; UUIDs of texture assets stored within the script; or UUIDs of texture assets read from a notecard. Even the notecard reader doesn't make the user wait because it doesn't do the dumb and read the entire card into memory before displaying images. You don't suppose ...

A lot of the mainland regions are set to a multiple of eleven with one of each eleven reserved for Premium accounts. For example, the region I am currently visiting is set to 44, of which 4 are reserved for Premium/Premium Plus accounts. Keep in mind that Linden Lab did not make those reservations out of the previous allowance but instead they added the reserved allowances. 40 became 40 + 4 = 44, so put away those torches and pitchforks. There are quite a lot of Premium/Premium Plus accounts in Second Life so it's not unusual to try to enter a region only to discover that it is already full to the upper limit including the reserved allowed.

X moves straight left and right. Pitch rotates around X axis. Y moves straight up and down. Yaw rotates around Y axis. Z moves forward and reverse. Roll rotates around Z axis. Zoom ranges field of view, or camera angle. Numeric values in Scale adjust maximum slew rate for each motion with a negative number reversing the direction of motion as compared to a positive number. Each Control Mode checkbox has its own column of scale values.

It's a lot of fun to startle people that dress thusly.

"Laptop" is not the most cost-effective form factor for running a program like Second Life Viewer "fairly well".

Since you are deliberately contriving scenarios to reenforce that misleading message the YouTube post is using for humor, I'll let you rot here alone.

To remove "rubber-banding" remove the checkmark on "3D Cursor". To reverse the action of an axis, negate its scale value. For example, try -3.00 instead of 3.00.
