    That doesn’t tell me much without their SL names attached.

    Sorry you didn't get invited to the FIC.  You  can find out linden and RL names for top managers in the original blog post.  Or deduce that information by looking at job titles.  No secrets, just cannot say any names here, by order of the Chief.

    The Linden Lab management team photos and titles are back up, as of March 10, 2024.  Reported by Inara Pey on her blog.

    https://lindenlab.com/about

    Minus two this time.  There was also a promotion in January 2024 of one of the management team VP's.  Can't say names here, even though this is all public information from LL on their website.  Marketing was added to his job titles. 

    Stay tuned in, as they say in radio.

    If the person were so very concerned with illegal activity, why didn't they take their proof to the proper authorities?  That's what made the whole blog post suspicious to me

    Perhaps he/she was concerned about revealing their real identity to government officials.  Are whistle blowers really protected in whatever country the "reporter" lives in?  Maybe he lives in Albania, or North Korea, or Florida.

    The claim was that LL had a copy of the blog post early draft in December, and their only response was removing in world evidence.  By going public, it forced LL to "wake up" as Brad said in his post.

    When the blog article first was published, I copied all of the text to a simple ascii text editor (Notepad), and it was still 82KB.  That's around 30 pages of single spaced text.  I did not include any graphics at all.  

    I wonder if Brad and most here have actually plowed through all of it.  There were some inflammatory assumptions, but they were all stated as speculative.  As far as claiming the article was not up to professional journalism standards - have you read any Yahoo News articles lately?  A few grammatical errors and rambling sentences in a 30 page treatise is not a reason to discount the entire article.  It could have been written by a PhD engineer in Graphics Design after all.    Well actually no, it would be almost unintelligible then.  :)

    web.archive.org has multiple dates listed for the original article.  It was first published on Feb 25, 2024 and is still in the web.archive.org wayback machine.  It is one of the most repeated articles on the wayback machine, up until the article was removed.

    I assume we can't list the url's here without violating the SL TOS.

    What year is considered oldbie?

    It's getting late - somehow I thought that was a question about RL.  But we can't speak of RL here of course.

    I am SL class of 2011, but was online in chat rooms since 1978.  Does that make me an oldbie?   I find those that started when all the publicity about making a million dollars in SL, around 2009 (?) still look down on us "newbies" that have a Resident last name, from early 2011.  

    I think days active inworld would be a better indicator than rezz date.  That would change a few in this forum to newbies. 

    Save 3 days in the hospital for an emergency operation, I have been IN world, in SL since my rezz date every day for at least 4 hrs, and usually more like 12 hrs/day.

    sounds like an improvement over blow up dolls from France...

    Serious question, if these NPC AI helpers are owned by LL, can we trust them?  Do I need to watch what I ask them?

    The Thing will not be discussed here on these forums

    Yep, and anywhere else it seems.  Everyone has been silenced, outside of SL also - too much to lose I guess. We are hoping SL cleans up it's mess and moves forward.

    There are ways to figure out what is happening, but I can't tell you or I might end up with large rocks on my feet, in a deep river.

    Yeah I knew what you meant.  But decreasing attrition would be an increase in employees, or forumites, and that's not the case I see here.

    A higher attrition rate indicates that a company may be facing challenges in retaining its employees. This can be due to factors such as low pay, limited opportunities for career growth, poor company culture, or high levels of stress. A higher attrition rate can result in increased hiring costs, decreased productivity, and a negative impact on company morale.

    https://www.hipeople.io/blog/how-to-measure-and-improve-your-attrition-rate#:~:text=This can be due to,negative impact on company morale.

    Attrition is more about turnover rate, the lower the better.  From what we have heard, some groups have high attrition rates.  I don't see many newbies coming here to replace the old ones that have left.

    attrition is dropping

    I think you mean it is increasing.  

    Attrition is the departure of employees from the organization for any reason (voluntary or involuntary), including resignation, termination, death or retirement

    Do you have real-life siblings who use Second Life?

    My dad would say it's pointless because all you need for communication across a distance is a good transceiver and set of Morse code paddles.

    So your dad was a young-un.  The proper terms for  telegraphy before radio existed was a Sounder to make two clicks upon making and breaking the circuit.  The first senders were Morse code Keys, simple lever switches you tapped to send dits and dashes.  Paddles, which are called Bugs today, came a bit later, since moving the paddle to the left made a series of dits while dashes were made manually with a left motion.   I sold my old classic VibroPlex bug 20 years ago for $150, so I could have the left and right mixed up.  When I was 7 yrs old I built a telegraph sounder using a wood block, a large nail, doorbell wire, and a couple springs, and a large 1.5 volt #6 size battery.  My parents were worried I would burn the house down. None of my friends wanted to learn Morse Code especially with a clicky old sounder.  They were more into baseball.

    Here's one of the first sounders - electromagnet, soft iron piece mounted on a spring loaded fulcrum. The idea was to hear the acoustic click made by the telegraph key, 50 miles away, via the telegraph lines (the first internet?).  Yes this was the first electronic communication all over the world.  A skilled telegrapher could send and read about 35 words per min.  Now what is this PBR again?

    I was an only child - so no siblings to practice the Morse Code with, or join SL... (see, on topic)

    Lab Gab?

    Posted · Edited by Jaylinbridges

    Has anyone seen a Lab Gab announcement where the participants were not listed in the announcement?  This is very strange. Was LL unsure who would be interviewed (as in available) for the Lab Gab?

    Ah, that's the SL economy (not LL gross income), right?

    I have seen SL's gross revenue as around $80 Million/yr. but their Net income was estimated as $8.5 Million, as stated above.  LL has to pay their employees, the Amazon Cloud, and their legal staff, and their generous benefits, from that gross income.
