  1. "It will be like Second Life, only better." Oh, sorry that was the Sansar intro comment .

    Post buy out by guys who want revenue/big cash out- yeah they'll figure out a way to monetize. Maybe non-premiums have to click through an ad for Prep-H (sitting on your butt all day RPing, couldn't hurt ) etc. Free accounts can have a great leisure time- even a business .

    But when they start messing with alts--- what other business has side accounts ? If the money guys don't understand alts, good luck.

  2. Confused if the graphics box above is a suggestion as those numbers would drag down my new laptop. If you're moving around I'd go basic shader and uncheck atmo and ambi shaders, max complex at 20k unless you need to see a person, 1 max avatar vs 16. Uncheck anis filtering and particles can go higher. If you are in a place for a while , you can drop draw and see how much more settings you can slide up into.

    our friend can remember the username of the shopkeeper. We search for this and get a blank.  We then run the username our friend remembers thru: shopkeeper = llRequestUsername(llRequestUserKey(old name)) and voila, we have the new name of the shopkeeper. Look then up in Search, there they are, and off we go to their shop

    if there aren't already (I haven't looked) I think there is going to be a plethora of scripted devices on MP that can do this for those who can't script this up for themselves

    I put the script in a prim and nothing but  syntaxerror -- what more do I need to do?

  4. EEP out and a robot voice talks.   BOM  came out and the featured video was a  Kawaii voice (so I was told- I didn't get it any of  that video).

    I get, and appreciate,  the Linden teams worked long and hard to produce these features but why "get cute" at the very end and make the Intros hard to understand?

    I am a native english speaker, I can only imagine how hard it must be for ESL residents.

    Same approach as making fun of the phrase "Premium Plus" verbally  in a chat video. Why try to "be a cool kid" why not make these cool things and intro them so we can understand them?

    That would be truly cool.

  5. Hi DAT4BASE--

    Are you giving birth to the NC you send or grabbing them from inventory --from a store ---erasing it and sending it to the store owner who made the product you bought without signing your name? They may be replying to the original NC author- who is really confused.

    Not insulting you but MANY shop owners recycle NC s of their own , drives me nuts- can't tell if the sale is now or WAS in 2014.

    If 15/15  NCs not getting answered something is wrong , and how do you deliver the cards- open profile and slide to an IM chat box or the give inventory slot in the profile? Both work. I like IM box since it gives a message that is saved in logs .

    I just moved from my "foo foo" and very lovely 1024ish abode with lots of prims I didn't use plot that cost me $1250 a week to a lovely ultra modern two story home that is at least four times the size --- for $100 a week. They are both above the water with clear ocean views. They both are in communities with nice houses. I am using the same number of land impact in both -- 300.   I couldn't justify the price of the other place when my current was just as nice for less than a tenth the price.   

     

    How can your new landlord make her/his tier at $100 a week? How long can  that last , unless a hobby

    Hi All! Sorry if that wording in the blog came out awkwardly.  Second Life continues to be powered by Tilia, which continues to be a fully-owned subsidiary of Linden Research, Inc. 

    Fun fact: at a recent all-hands, Ebbe was wearing a Second Life hoodie, which, when he unzipped it, revealed a "Powered by Tilia" T-shirt. 

     

    Was the hoodie a BOM? Did he need an alpha for the tee shirt? (When his RL neighbors see the tee shirt- do they think , a new  little blue pill?  ...... it sounds medicine-y)

  8. You can't deduct accounting  costs anymore on  an individual  return as I read it,  check if you  may be able to  on your business return. Take all your costs and revenues to an accountant who understands internet businesses.

    My understanding is once a Linden becomes a dollar, whether or not PayPal is involved,  it reenters the real taxable world , but that's only the income side of the balance sheet-- you need to have your expenses offset it. Like tier - your tenants pay you say $30,000 cashed out but you pay Linden let's say $28,000 tier---  $2000 is the profit BUT you bought terrains, trees, etc. to help offset .

    Schools should teach basic accounting, this thread makes me sad.

     

  9. If LL wants to save mainland as a viable place  , dump the nightmare group tier thing. Take the income hit and drop the discount/surcharge option- build it in  so that when you sell/transfer parcels you don't go nuts. Let people donate tier to a group  but that fear of getting nailed with penalties when you want to buy new and and sell the old has to end.

    Imagine how great it would be to see a nice parcel- buy it - and know the actual cost, then sell the old at your leisure and know the return and not have to do more math and deeding this to that -worse  than doing taxes, while drunk.

  10. Whomever was put in charge of this "system" hit their Peter Principle level IMO.

    Just don't go work for a birth control pill company. Take Day 1 unless you need day 31 still, in which case, if it February- take  day 12 but relabel wheel 11. Skip 17 and then take 29(which is labeled WE WON'T TELL YOU) And please notice sponsors ads for diapers and prams-- you'll be buying them soon !

  11. I don't understand how this works - when I click main channel get

    https://releasenotes.secondlife.com/simulator/2019-10-03T01%3A12%3A11.531528.html

    which shows nothing dated 10-14 but 2 dated 10-8 ??

     

    when I click release I get

    https://releasenotes.secondlife.com/simulator/2019-10-11T18%3A12%3A36.531693.html

     

    which shows 2 versions dated 10-14?? Which is it?

    Will the main channel roll new code this week or just 10 day restarts?

     

    Can't we get   THIS WEEK - THIS VERSION 

                              THIS WEEK :  no version

  12. Oh good I thought - an official post explaining BOM - because I do not understand it.

    Well, I don't understand this video at all. The voice is very hard for me to follow, I guess I need a $125  applier? The free is no good it advises. OK. I gave up 5 minutes into it to be honest- is this REALLY the sanctioned best explanation?

    All that time and money spent and this is the product?

    I had thought BOM made dressing an avatar easier and opened mesh bodies to wearing old systems clothes. And that it removed the need for appliers.

    Is there a concise clear explanation elsewhere? Thanks.

     

    Added : the video

    Calling cards don't get removed unless you manually trash them and purge them. They remain in the calling card folder(s) until you delete them.

    I just tested this.

    The dumper - the friendship remover- one calling card of the dumped stays in the folder

    The dumped - who doesn't take action- one calling card of the dumper stays in the folder  BUT another cc of the dumper  landed in trash. [Only see this on SL viewer.]

    Been that way for 15 years.

    Two things can't be true.
