And modern science elements:

Hold up. That table is not complete. Apart from elements 104 to 118, where are adamantium, coaxium, kryptonite, mithril, neutronium, vibranium, and unobtainium?

[Edit] In my personal life, the most elementary elements seem to be paper, plastic, coffee and hagelslag.

[Did LL just change the theme for SL21B?]

'Elements' is the broadest, most encompassing theme of all themes in SLXB history. Especially in the mathematical field of Set Theory, elements can be anything, even nothing. In that sense, a ball of mud is an element, your underpants are an element, the teapot in the glove compartment of Elon Musk's Tesla Roadster, currently in an elliptical orbit around the sun, crossing paths with the orbits of Earth and Mars, is an element. Your mom is an element. The entire universe is an element and a non-existent fantasy universe imagined by the brain of a certain mr. Bolzman is an element. Even SL21B, in itself a set of different elements, is an element.

TL;DR: I guess, for SL21B, anything goes. [Edit] So... hell yeah, even adult s*xy time stuff!

I decided to make my Second Life a tad bit easier. I disabled incoming IMs from "non-friends" for some of my accounts.

Maybe you simply use too many acounts? Maybe it'll be a tad easier to just use fewer of them, rather than go through all of them to disable functionality in each and every one of them?

Personally, my poor little brain can barely handly a single account.

[Diversity and Inclusion in Second Life]

OOP, LAMP, RSS, ATOM, SSL, AJAX, HTML5, SaaS, IoT, BTC, Doge, RSA, DL, ML, AI, SJW, CRT, VR... I guess we have another buzzthingie du jour, DEI. I'm pretty sure, this too shall pass.

How about me typing a large red plus sign? Can I do that? Surely I can...

[Oh my Gawd! - Totally unOfficial Pet Peeve Thread.]

Objects (especially HUDs, body parts, clothing and other attachments) with scripts that will reset every time you rez them and list an initializing report to the owner, who has absolutely no clue what it all means, does not benefit from this knowledge whatsoever, but, instead, gives them a vague suspicion that their product is 'calling home'.

This is a highly underrated but powerful message that all of the world's leaders should pay heed to.

Disney recently put US$1.5 billion into Epic's metaverse project. It's not clear yet what that means.

Oh, I do:

It''l be EPIC (the tax write-off, that is).

Add capability to run SL on a Game Boy.

And on a pregnancy test.

[Silly Ideas to Fix Second Life]

SL needs more talking internal organs, not just wombs with fetuses, but spleens, kidneys, livers, gall bladders, etc. They'll make Local Chat so much more lively.

[Would you get a Neuralink implant so you could play SL hands-free?]

I know my phone's spying on me, but I can toss it into a pond quickly and conveniently.

I trust my Neuralink will be spying on me, but I can't just get rid of it whenever I want.

So, no, absolutely not, for the sake of maintaining a decent level control over myself.

Is PIOF essentially a form of "Age Verification"?

I think it's more of a 'serious SL account'  versus 'anonymous troll acount'  verification thing.

Btw, age verification is a complete joke, to keep a bunch of not so tech savvy lawmaker dinosaurs happy.

[What year is considered oldbie?]

Oldbies will remember a time when prim torture was still acceptable.

Well the issue is that avatar height does not scale up to real life.

How do you figure?

1 meter is 1 meter.

People in SL can be taller than in SL, because: status, power, strength. This drove most avatars in SL to evolve as taller beings than they are IRL. As a consequence, houses are bigger in SL, furniture is bugger, Land Impacts are higher. All because some people want to be bigger than others. All in all, I would say, 1 meter IRL corresponds to 1.25 m in SL.

What is your definition of oldbie?

From a creator's perspective, when you look at a product that you made in the past and think: 'I would have done that way better now.'

WTF has trafficking to do with anything in this topic? I don't see it mentioned anywhere. I don't see it implied anywhere. Now, excuse me, while I enjoy my pizza Hawaii with extra pineapple!

[For what does SL use double clicks?]

Boomers always double-click on hyperlinks.

[Edit] Double clicks can not be distinguished from single clicks by scripted objects in SL, if the click interval is less than 0.1 seconds. This is, in my personal opinion, way too long. An object should be able to distinguish double clicks that are 0.05 seconds apart, or less. It's an SL shortcoming, so I won't design anything in SL that requires a double click.

[AI NPCs]

Give me strength. I already have a hard time interacting with real people.

[If you could "Resurrect" any famous person as an Avatar in Second Life: 1) Who would it be/why, and 2) What "Second Life" feature would you ask them to use/leverage?]
