That's a tough one. The few Retirement homes listed in search are adult rated and a bit kinky (to say the least). Most 70 and over folks run around with avatars that look 50 years younger, and are not going talk about their RL age in any public chat I know about. There are always those young whippersnappers in their 40s to 60s that don't even remember Elvis or Bob Dylan. much less folk music. You can find a lot of the wise old ones in oldies music clubs (nothing after 1990), or any kind of music that was popular in the 50's and 60's and 70's. Blues clubs are an example, but that genre has too many young kid artists for some seniors. There is a club in SL that plays mostly Leonard Cohen music for instance. But it's mostly dead there (like Leonard), with only a couple events/week last time I checked.
It's not that hard to find a partner/friend in her age group - but they usually remain private. Some have said many Bellisseria residents that have been in SL over 10 years are likely grandparents, and are tired of fooling with the technical end of SL. But they don't have any organized groups for retirees. Just tend your garden and go to bed early, and stay off my lawn.

I am bored atm, can you give us the region name? (NEVER MIND, I FOUND IT.) Your first photo shows a rezz box floating above it. (nope was just a 4x4 spam box when I went there.)
Surrounds are usually for private islands, not mainland.
I checked out this screwup. Someone rented one of those stacked 1/4 sim platforms up in the sky (among the other 12 on the same parcel), and since they are all on the same parcel and in the rental company's group, he managed to rezz what looks like a 1/2 sim size off-sim landscape, 256m on a side at sea level. It's covering 2 or 3 regions on the mainland. He probably has no idea it is there, since his platform rental is high in the sky. You can try to contact the owner, and ask him to TP down to sea level and delete it. It's not clear that he understands english though. The Rental company should also be able to remove this. Many of those stacked mainland owners do not provide timely service. A friend that had one of those no privacy stacked homes had to send a ticket and wait 3 days for a response for a problem.
You can send a message to SL support, and they should remove it, since it is covering SL owned abandoned land, and other parcel owner's land.

If the owner of the object was able to change the permission to (no copy) (transfer) only, then the creator should not care. Just because the LL permission system does not allow the owner this option, does not mean it cannot be changed. This would mean all copies rezzed or in inventory but one would need to be deleted. Too much trouble to figure out how to do this, but it is possible with some objects like breedables. If you have a copy of a no copy breedable it will be detected and disabled. But that needs an external server to monitor the object inworld.
That villa in your list that is (no copy) (no modify) (no transfer) is something I would never buy, or want.

Microsoft ended support for Windows 7 and 8 in January 2023, and all Chromium-based browsers are no longer supported on the platforms, as Google decided to end support for these systems. Mozilla Firefox is one of the few browsers that continues to support these operating systems.Mar 28, 2023
Yep I quoted that earlier. I also installed Mozilla Firefox, which does support Win7. First thing I did was update Firefox to their latest version. And as I reported, Firefox also only shows the still photo on the secondlife.com main page. So it isn't Google's end of support, although that is annoying; we all know Google is too small on the verge of bankruptcy, so they had to fire the 2 employees that could still support Chrome on Win7. (sarcasm mode off now)
Whoever designed the LL mainpage seems to be either ignorant of Win7 or deliberately did a system check when you log into that page, and if using Win7, block the video. I have asked LL about this in a ticket, but I already can guess their canned response.

most likely not a W7 problem .. do you use adblockers and tools lke ghostery/adguard?
I turned adblocker-plus Off for all secondlife.com pages, and then I turned the adblocker extension Off for Chrome. No change. Turned off anti-virus real time, no change. I do not have a Firewall active.
I used no adblocker at all on Firefox or Edge. secondlife.com still has no video, just a still picture. I have turned off every security feature in Chrome. Videos on most web pages start right up. I suspect LL is using a newer HTML version that only works in Win 10/11 for video autostart. Or they really are checking and blocking Win7 for autostart videos on this page. That makes zero sense to me, but it is LL after all.
If you are still using Win7 you are probably over 30 yrs old, and don't buy a new computer from Amazon every 2 years to keep "up to date" - not the demographic SL is looking for. They want folks with more money than brains to spend spend spend.
I really need someone with Win7 installed to check if this happens on their system.

I cant even buy lindens via chrome anymore. I had to start using a browser called 'Brave'.
Seriously? I never buy Lindens so would not notice. I wonder if they have blocked Process Transfers to PayPal for Win7 users. This is getting ridiculous!
I just put in a Limit Sell order for Lindens to Tilia dollars. That seemed to work ok. If they block a process transfer because they don't like Chrome, they can send me a check!
BTW I tried Brave. Same result, no video. Brave is just a stripped down Chrome with more privacy.

I can see the video if I look in the html scripting and find the mp4 video page:
But something is stopping it from auto starting in Chrome, Edge and Firefox for me. I don't see anything having to do with Win7 in the HTML code.

The SL marketing video on secondlife.com when not logged in or an SL member, is just a still photo on my browser (s). I am still using Win7. I don't need anyone telling me that Win7 support is gone - blah blah blah, I have known that long before it was announced
I need anyone that still runs or can run Win7 to check the SL main page and see if they can see the video. Everything else works fine, I see videos all over the web as usual. And of course SL runs fine with any browser on Win7. I am trying to find out if this is only on my Win7 system, or others are seeing the same thing on the secondlife.com page. I have my ad blocker turned off. There was a way to suppress the video that I used before, but forgot how I did that.
I get the same static picture on a new install of Firefox also. Normally I use Chrome
Thanks for any Win7 users left. Rick I think still has a Win 7 computer.

That's probably your answer. Hardly anyone is supporting Win7.
Windows 7 still works fine. No support does not mean it will not work. I have yet to find anything that that is broken in Win7. Anyway I will find a few other users that can still run WIn7, and see if they can see the video. I don't expect anyone that is not on WIn7 to be of any help. All SL viewers still work perfectly on Win7. It would be ironic if LL puts a OS system check on their newbie signup page, to prevent newbies from seeing their video. LL is the first software company to break Win7 on their advertising page?
BTW I said I was using WIndows 7 Professional. MS support ended on Jan 10, 2023 for my system. Not 2020. And MS antivirus Security Essentials real time antivirus for WIn7 is STILL getting daily updates, so there is no security risk.
Windows 7 Professional and Enterprise editions will no longer receive extended security updates for critical and important vulnerabilities starting Tuesday, January 10, 2023.

That is the page. It must be your browser settings. Works with my ad blocker so that isn't the issue. You are apparently getting the default static photo for folks that can't see the video footage.
Hmmm, other videos have always worked and still work, on every site I use. I use Chrome, and get the static page.Tried MS Edge and same thing. So I installed a new Firefox and get the same thing - just a static photo on secondlife.com. Whatever LL is using for a video codec on their main page, it doesn't work on my browsers (Chrome, Edge, or Firefox). Never had a web video not play before, and no error messages.
I am still using WIn 7 Pro, so perhaps LL does not want any new members that still use Win7 to join SL. (Win7 still does everything I use perfectly, and I still get security updates daily from MS, for those that want to lecture me about not upgrading.) Is this Ageism by LL? Considering their desire to get 20 somethings to join, I would not be surprised.

I did NOT say controlled, I said gamed.
By AI systems, I meant gamed also.
Yes, I was thinking gamed and didn't mean controlled game scripting. Gaming is avatars and bots from the same operator controlling the game rewards by using multiple player bots and scripts to an advantage. Poor choice of words by me.
I still think of a game as more than putting an avatar in a pose, and occasionally clicking something. That is a passive game, which I don't think SL needs any more of. Gaming to me means moving your avatar with some skill to avoid the hazards and not getting sent back to the start line. And so you don't get yourself blown up, eaten, or rendered to a liquid. These are not all violent shooter games. If I slip off a bridge and am dissolved in boiling acid, it's my own fault. Avatar movement skills vs having to kill everyone in my path with 1000 shot cannons.

Is lag and responsiveness of control inputs really the limitation some suggest in this thread?
I think it depends on where in the world the player is located, since UDP lag with long ping times can cause a time lag in a game, compared to those with no lag locations in the world.
I am 50 miles from the Amazon AWS cloud, and we are fiber front to end, with 25 ms hop times to AWS. I have no detectable avatar lag with motion.
Those complaining about avatar motion control lag should state their world location and actual ping times to the LL AWS servers in Oregon. LL decided a few years ago to not use other AWS cloud locations on other continents - because it would cost them too much. I have heard nothing to change that bottom line financial view from LL.

Secondly, often the kind of easy and laid back sort of games some of us would like there is a problem with bots gaming the games
7 hours ago, EliseAnne85 said:People don't want to waste their time being gamed by AI systems. We want legitimate and fair games.
Give SPECIFIC SL games that are presently controlled by "bots and AI". What games are NOT legitimate in your personal experience. And if you feel SL is allowing illegitimate games and unfair games run by bots and AI - then why have you not sent ARs about those game developers and players, and submitted JIRA's to LL for violating the TOS?
Again, in case you try to selectively avoid my first question, here it is again:
Give SPECIFIC SL games that are presently controlled by "bots and AI", at this time.
The only bots and AI I know about are owned by Moles and Lindens, and they are part of the game scripting.

You do know that SL only uses the first 16 characters of the password, right ?
OMG I now feel so insecure. So what is SL doing with the other 34 characters? I bet they are making new "enter your password" boxes with them. Wait - think I see one floating above me now... Logging Off...

That's not my password, but mine is like that - so hack that. I can remember the first 4 characters on a good day
Main problem is losing where it is stored, so I need multiple backup locations in case my city gets hit by a giant flaming meteor.

Gheez, same question over and over, its getting old. Text boxes to enter information needed by a script is pretty common, and used in thousands of scripts. I copy and paste a web site url into a text box in FS about 100 times a day. You can also enter info through local chat when the script prompts you, and enter text info for a script on any channel it is listening on. Scripts are not mind readers, you need to tell them what they need. The advantage of a text box is it that is is dedicated to just your answer. Some also time out. It is a basic function in SL.

But still movement feels like crap. Go to an empty sim, make a jump&run parkour with prims or something. It's just crap, because it's sluggish AF. It's no fun. So even if graphics were perfect, the sluggishness would still be the showstopper.
Did you enable QuickJump? FSIgnoreFinishAnimation: Disable the wait for pre-jump or landing. Credit to Zwagoth Klaar for coding this.
You cannot jump realistically when the pre-jump and landing animations are enabled.

For many people the movement in SL is very sluggish. You press "move forward", and it takes, I don't know, 200ms before your avatar actually starts moving? For any games where movement is a big part of the game that's just a no go.
For any jump and instant starts, this Firestorm feature (in red) really helps movement. Of course the SL Viewer has no such setting.
My starts from still seem pretty fast, but then my ping to the cloud is only 25 ms.

I would never fall for the "enter your password" box, because I can never remember my password.

Don't forget that the estate owner can split their holdings up into several smaller separate estates. I don't know offhand if they can do that in the viewer or if they have to ask Linden Lab to do it for them, but that's certainly an option. It is, in fact, what the Land specialist I asked to clarify this suggested. To allow bots into some regions on an estate you own but not onto others, you'll need split the estate up into smaller ones with separate settings.
That was one of my suggestions on how Zoha does it. But the rented region is still owned by Zoha, so they have control but still give each region owner full permissions for only his rented region. Anyway Mr Zoha is moving today and will be back tomorrow to explain how they routinely do this for the hundreds of full regions they rent.

If you're not even going to listen to actual lindens on this now, there is no point in this discussion because you aren't listening to actual things that actual staff are bringing to the thread and this is going to go nowhere. Lets try have an actual discussion.
The Linden response is not from the Lindens that specialize in land and land development. Not all Lindens are experts in everything. Testing shows your assumptions are wrong. Zoha will explain how they can assign estate manager options on ONLY the region a renter "owns". Since they are in the land business, I will take their explanation as facts.

If I owned my private estate or two, I could turn it on
And if you RENTED your private estate or region from a land company, you could also turn it on or off. That option is up to the land company that owns the region.

the still photo I see is just the first frame of the video
Not sure what you mean by source. The video is stored on this cloud file server below and is pretty clear in the HTML. This is an MP4 video that starts up immediately when you click on the embedded url in WIn7 and later. But the SL page blocks the mp4 from auto starting, and leaves the page with the first frame of the video with any Win7 browser. Still do not know why.
