    I've just removed several posts discussing games like GTA and gun control in the US. For the avoidance of doubt, gun control and violence in computer games are not on topic for this thread,

    Please refrain from discussing anyone said to have been named (or their supposed alts) in the blog post/article.

    I fear this thread has gone so far off the rails there's little hope of dragging it back, particularly since so many posts have gone missing, so I'm locking it.

    Sorry it's taken so long to get this fixed (it was blocked by something else, which proved far more difficult to fix than the issue with the housecontrollers, but we got there in the end. We've just finished updating all the Fantasy regions. Any problems with the house controllers please let me know, but I think the problem is now solved (you shouldn't now see that message again but, if you do, it will reset the script, which should fix whatever was the initial problem).

    Yeah, but I suspect Jordan Peterson has been nobbled by the The Mi-go, (a.ka. the Fungi from Yuggoth).

    I'm not sure I would describe either of these as photorealistic but these are Chat-GPT's attempts at making a photorealistic image of me. Good enough for a picture of a scholar from one of the older English universities visiting Innsmouth while on sabattical at Miskatonic University. Here's the second attempt.

    I think the people thinking up names interpreted "Mediterranean" as a reference to climate rather than geography. That's what I'm told, anyway.

    Sorry, folks, but politics -- even British, and even in jest -- is off topic for this thread. SL is international, remember, and this year there will be national elections in at least 64 countries, plus the EU.
  9. Quartz Mole
    Please let's drop the subject. (This is not a request).

    I would strongly advise people against using these forums to publicise potentially libellous rumours posted elsewhere. They are not on topic for these forums.

    I'm sorry, but moderators are not allowed to remove posts unless they breach the Linden Lab Official:Forum Participation Guidelines in some way. If it's a post offering employment or a property for sale/rent, you could always reply to the original post and say the job/property is no longer available.

    I've just checked those two teleporters. The Paleoquest one was working when I tried it, but the Linden Realms one needed a restart. We're aware that they're stalling intermittently and a fix is in QA at the moment.

    Fascinating and important though this discussion of the differences between Britain and England certainly is, I am not at all sure it's on-topic for a thread about Bellisseria.
  15. Quartz Mole
    I've asked for this to be fixed. Thanks for pointing it out.

    I don't think it works in the viewer, but I can certainly recommend DeepL Translate. I've used it to help people with questions about their Linden Homes in a variety of languages, including Ukrainian and Japanese, by copy-pasting their side of the conversation from the viewer into the app, and typing my replies in the app and copying them into the viewer's chat. Certainly it's turned what they said into comprehensible English and they seemed to understand my replies. Moles whose first language isn't English who've taken a look at it all tell me its translations to and from their languages are perfectly acceptable, too.

    It would be best if folks stick to the topic and refrained from a wider discussion of autism and the propriety or otherwise of trying to make jokes about it.

    Unfortunately, it seems impossible to keep this thread on topic -- The New Second Life Community Exhibition -- because some people are determined to use it to conduct a discussion of males using female avatars. I'm closing it. Why people can't open another thread if they want to discuss a particular topic is beyond me.

    Gentle reminder that the Forum Participation Guidelines say
  20. Quartz Mole
    Yes. When no one is sitting on the vehicle, it counts against the parcel limit. When someone is sitting on it, it counts against any unused LI available on the region. Either way it counts against the hard limit of of the region's total LI.
  21. Quartz Mole
    They were correct. When a vehicle has someone sitting on it, it's a bit like a temp-on-rez object, in that its LI is set against any spare LI on the region that's not being used for anything else. When Abnor and his team are calculating the LI budgets for Linden Homes regions, they have first to set aside enough LI to cover every parcel owner on the region choosing the house with the highest LI and then using all their parcel's LI for decorating. They subtract that from the total region LI and then draw up a budget to cover the region infrastructure and decor -- roads, pathrways, rocks, trees, bushes, flowers and so on -- and also leave a margin to allow a small number of vehicles to pass through. In practice, of course, there will generally be more spare LI available for vehicles than the budget allows, since not everyone is going to choose the most expensive house and not everyone is going to max our their parcel LI, but the total region LI of 22,500 is a hard limit, and it includes all vehicles on the region at any given time.

    'We've received several reports that various related posts about IMVU, shopping in SL, LL's attitude to maintaining backwards compatibility, and other subjects, were off topic. This thread is supposed to be about the semi-humorous discussion of pet peeves rather than detailed debates about particular topics, so I'm inclined to agree, but after I'd started marking up posts for removal and realised I'd selected 35 of them with several pages to go, I gave up, since it's clearly a discussion several people wanted. Please, though, in future, consider starting separate threads in the appropriate subforum to conduct in-depth discussions of particular topics. Let's keep this thread to pet peeves without going into too much detail about them.
  23. Quartz Mole
    Please remember that the Forum guidelines say To my mind, this means that discussions of how particular legislative changes may affect Second Life are on topic but that discussions of wider polticial ideologies or social trends that may be behind the legislative changes are off topic.
  24. Quartz Mole
    The soundscapes throughout Bellisseria are all Garden's work. I don't know if he reads the forums but I'll make sure he sees your post.
  25. Quartz Mole
    Please let's stick to the topic -- PBR -- rather than get bogged down in debates about whether people are misrepresenting each other or their sources. Everyone will by now have been able to reach their own conclusions about how seriously to take the contributions of particular regular posters in the thread.
