Exactly.

I'm not the one engaged in Delusions of Grandeur.

And people think I'm overly imaginative. I'm going to mirror what everyone has been telling you, and be even more blunt. This is the cringiest *****ing thing I've ever seen - so bad that I couldn't look through this thread at all without my head screaming why, and that's coming from someone whose personal life can tend to be quite cringeworthy by others' standards. Why in the hell would anyone invest in anything resembling this is beyond me when in either being used as a in-world media broadcast system or as a way to connect to SL from anywhere - both have little to no appeal, through the use of assets that you don't even own. Do yourself a favor, have some humility and give it a rest.

Thought I'd give it a go. Note that the region names are given for most because they're usually large areas, though for East River, I suggest you follow along the road going northeast as you'll start to see signs that will lead you into downtown East River directly.

Group Chat has been borked for a hot minute. Honestly, SL needs a overhaul to the chat system so that it's not ad-hoc (at least I recall right it is)

I've seen SL Football areas, like the one adjacent cafe nodoca (no relation) in Heterocera but not any actual events. I would love to go to a game or two if a actual league is established. GO FC SANSARA

You can set yourself up a decent SL-oriented computer rig using the following specs: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 NVIDIA GTX 1660 (or 1650) 16 GB DDR4 RAM and a decent SSD for SL cache will have you running pretty well. I'm going to be running a comparable setup but with a 1060 I already own as opposed to a 1660. A word of warning, however - some AMD Motherboards on certain chipsets may need a BIOS Upgrade to use the BIOS, but this is usually with older motherboards that were flashed with a old BIOS from the factory from before the new firmware was aailable and newer ones already support Third-gen Ryzen. If you end up with a Mobo that doesn't work, contact AMD for a upgrade kit and they'll send you a cheapo Athlon CPU so you can actually boot into the BIOS and install the firmware update. If you're not certain, check with the manufacturer's website. Also, some may say that Intel is better but these days Intel and AMD's latest offerings are more neck and neck than anything (as a owner of a FX-series CPU I know what crappy single core performance looks like). AMD is the cheaper alternative for CPUs and unlike before Ryzen, it actually is, as I said, on par with if not sometimes slightly better than Intel in terms of performance.

I have to side with the DreamSeeker Estates people. They're not obliged to enforce copyright on their land. That's Linden Lab's job and they won't do ***** unless a DMCA is filed. Also, to annoy every uptight person in this thread, as someone who's researched it for years - "Copyright law is a joke."

If you want to go for a drive, just ask! Zindra's nice this time of the decade! But seriously, Zindra's roadside appearance has gotten better in recent years, a lot less of the gaudy walled up sex places at ground level, and the north coast is a treat to drive around in.

I'm certain adult activities will not be effected by this. To the chagrin of Any company that Linden Lab works with, Sex sells a lot - Hell, we have an entire *****ing continent dedicated to it - Zindra - to deny the residents full (virtual) bodily autonomy within their legal rights as adults would at best just be an insult to the whole point of SL, and at worst, would cause catastrophic damage to the economy of SL. It wouldn't be the end of the world (immediately), but I know I'd probably spend less time in SL knowing I couldn't get dirty with some of my friends-with-benefits. Disney wouldn't touch Linden Lab and Second Life thereby with a bargepole. I would make damn sure of that myself, as would any upstanding resident. The Disney Corporation is a parasite that if I found it bleeding out and dying, would just sit there and laugh at it.

Ah, as in allowing a region/estate owner to select which RL region their sim is located. Yeah, That would be good.

That amounts to instancing, which goes against SL's core design principles.

I've said it before, I'll say it again - Anyone who sings praises about anything relating to "Agile" or "The Blockchain" are telling porkies.

Honestly, I hold the opinion that the 'affiliated organization' section should be expanded to *all* minors. Those that are underage (as reported) are isolated to G-rated sims, restricting them from quite a lot of the non-adult content in SL because it's present on M-rated or A-rated sims. This turns most people away from accessing SL in its' full glory. I know if I was underage I'd have lost interest in SL by 1 year in at the most because of lack of stuff to do. That or well, I think those who've visited porn sites at ages under 18 before probably know the rest of that song and dance. (Hey, some of us have done it at one point or another.) And from what I know, minors make up a extreme minority of SL residents, probably smaller than that of actual transwomen in SL (like myself). Why are we leaving a loophole in for what amounts to a extreme minority? I understand that, and honestly I'd be open to the idea of bringing back Teen SL for those from 13-18 if it can be done so in a fashion that is profitable and not a piggy bank burner like Sansar was. But minors don't really belong here in an environment where they could potentially be taken advantage of if they're one of the (probably many who falsify their age.

Now I'd buy that for a Linden!

Not sure on the former, but I believe they're referring the land baron problem. While I don't have a problem with say, Luxory or the Chungs, I will say that companies like LIFE properties are a plague on SL.

Please, put a prim in it, we don't need infighting.

I swear you know the right time to come in for everything, Brett. Also, I posited this to Ebbe on Twitter, but wanted to bring it up here - would it possible to have a 'meet the investors' Q&A thing of sorts on Youtube or something to learn more about the acquisition and other questions people might have? Would really help calm the tides as it were. Edit: You literally answered the question I asked. I need to read through a thread before responding - I'm looking forward to meeting them, then!

... We're so screwed.

It probably has to do with Havok's licensing. Havok as far as I am aware does not provide support for Linux.

Regarding the Wine ban, it's very odd that it's acting that way. I've used Black Dragon on WINE and was able to log into Second Life without a Hardware Ban notice. What version of WINE are you running with Firestorm? Are you using Wine Stable or Staging? Also, I'd recommend upgrading to a later LTS version if able, as 16.04 is pretty old by this date.

I've used the AW Client for years, I'm pretty certain I know how the blasted thing works.

As someone who uses Discord, Linden Lab should really consider changes to the group chat system, How? As far as I'm aware Discord isn't one of those companies. By that logic, why are you here? Linden Lab is in a similar boat.

There *was* such a thing with one of SL's predecessors in Virtual Worlds, ActiveWorlds. You could log in, walk around a bit, and if you had no internet connection and just wanted to screw around with stuff, it'd essentially use your cache data to provide you access to worlds in AW. As a long time user of SL, and a history with AW, that's a snowball's chance in hell. If my recollections are valid, AWI doesn't have a good opinion of the Lindens, as it got to the point that SL was driving people away from Activeworlds that a Customs bot would ban you on the spot if you even mentioned Second Life or SL in passing. I doubt that over time Rick Noll (E N Z O) has let SL's hype bring AW into a death knell slide.

But the name I desire does sound like a real surname. It's not *MY* real surname, but one associated with my avatar. Also, it doesn't defeat it's initial intent of being used for business ventures, and even if it was, I'd sooner spit on a linden than be charged one month's SSDI payments upfront for a goddamn name change, and I wouldn't tolerate this 40 dollar wannabe comedy skit on greed either.
