As a QA I must say you are dead wrong. If the software escapes it's us who leave a trail of bloodied developers along with the end users. They say QAs have the heart of a developer, in a jar, on their desk.

Hey there! The thing about Black Dragon is that it renders differently than the other viewers, so in order to make your skin shine you need to do few things. First, you need light, just like in RL in order to see reflection or shine you need light to land on the surface(physics and such). It's the same in SL when you use BD, so in order to see the shine of your skin you need some kind of light or projectors. It's also possible to have some settings turned off - BD has decent amount of lighting settings. Here's a sample settings shader configuration that could help with your problem. You can change them directly from the machinima bar(F1 hotkey)

Guess what? I also work in IT. My point exactly, people lack the knowledge about how to protect themselves. They don't teach that kind of stuff in school and while you and I have the technical knowledge and experience I assure you the majority of people who use computers in their daily lives don't know what malware is, why it's good to have 2FA, why they have to use vpn at work or what the ISO standards are. The majority of people blindly accept the cookie prompts when visiting websites without knowing what they do and the fact they can collect your information and worse if the site is malicious. I don't need to go into details how most commercial orientated websites lack basic security measures and you can see the user data in the web requests, no validations on backend level where you can do an SQL injection and get what you want, that's security testing 101. From there a more knowledgeable person about penetration testing can go with url interception, session hijacking or even DNS spoofing(it's why you DON'T connect to random public wifi networks). Currently the most secure password method I've seen on the market is passwordless login where you use the biometry of your mobile device as authentication along with integration with government system where your citizen ID is stores. The two are then combined to create two keys(public and private) which are hidden behind custom 256 bit encryption. In other words, what the guy on the video talks about but significantly better and more secure.

You can google what phishing and social engineering are in the IT field and find out why grown adults can be fooled.

That's been around for years. But it was a feature mainly focused towards business users.

I also use slushe and have been using it since the initial announce of the TOS. Since then I havent seen any of the more talented artists post there. 95% of the SL related content in Slushe is adult orientated, and while I don't mean to be rude but the content is blatant and poorly made, from people who'd flood their Flickr profiles with hundreds if not thousands of screenshots rather than artworks, exceeding the initial limitation of 1000 photos for free accounts. That has been there since day one. As a private service provider they can implement whatever terms of service they seem fit and they haven't cracked down hard on their TOS since they implemented them. To this day I still see moderate and very restricted photos posted by free accounts without any actions being taken. A real artist will not care that much where they share their work, nor will get offended because some online platform updates their terms of service. There are plenty of alternatives out there. Let's not forget that Flickr is not image hosting platform for Second Life, but for all kinds of artist. The Second Life community on Flickr is a but of small portion of all the users that share there. Let's not think that any decisions they have made in the past or will make in the future are directed towards us. P.S, I'm not defending Flickr, I'm sick and tired of people complaining how a freaking private hosting platform that hosts the art of people of all ages decided they don't want some free users that don't want to pay a dime posting porn on it.

That's because the entire site is focused towards x-rated content.

I'll drop you a message.

I heard you made topic about Dutch angles and the Joker, so I made you Dutch angle Joker for your topic aboutDutch angles and the Joker.

Wait, there was 32bit support? What year is it?

Plottwist, all android and apple devices listen to your conversations.

Then we'd have to hire premium users who will ask for higher pay and social benefits. It's not good for the business.

It sounds to me like great way to kill SL.

A Cat(h) in the big city

I applaud your optinism for thinking it will be profitable

Black Dragon viewer has built in 360 degrees camera control.

What I noticed is that people are on Flickr are most active during the evenings and mornings US time. It's when you will likely see the most posts, comments and likes. If it's attention you seek, then blogging is the way to go, follow 10,000 people and at least 5000 will follow you back regardless of the content you make. As for seeing the work of highly skilled people(depends on what you mean by highly skilled. A simple pic can look better than one drowned in editing), it's not as easy to find them. Although their work tends to stand out it's really matter of perspective and your way to appreciate art. Some do it for blogging, others to express themselves and some throw randomly now and there incredible pieces of works. When you go around some of the more popular Flickr groups you will find them. There's no easier way except for someone recommending you artists to follow. There are also various photography related inworld groups where people share their works as well as discord groups. Black Dragon's official discord group is one such example. And not to brag or anything but you can also look me up and check out my works.

That is exactly how Onlyfans works. In order to register for it you must provide personal document. As far as requesting personal data, thank god I live in Europe where laws like GDPR exist. While companies still can ask for PII(Personal Identifiable Information) for identification and verification, we as end users have the right to decline it and provide whatever data we deem. Doing actual verification against provided document is hard and complicated as it requires the corresponding web service that takes your information to be integrated with government systems where citizens' personal data is stored. All that has to be extremely well encrypted and go through extensive testing to ensure it's safe and there are no data leaks. All this costs money, time and effort to build and implement.(Don't ask me how I know all this ) I don't think SL will be impacted by this as it will fall under the same circumstances when the incident with the Bonnies happened. While some US states will allow them to require personal information for verification, that's not the case with other countries, specially European ones.

Most likely their conclusion will be:

What makes you think every encrypted connection or transaction can't be cracked at the moment? All you need is to have the corresponding encryption key or private api key and you have full access to the corresponding transaction or connection. In terms for connection it's even easier because all these VPNs out there on the market currently track every single thing you do on the web while using them and they can locate you at a moment's notice if needed. A while back there was outrage around Mercedes because their autopilot was instructed to run over pedestrians in order to save the driver should bad situation arise.

Something different, dark and evil. Entirely one of my sisters' idea.
