I cant get my shine to show up in BD, shine shows up very good in FS making skin texture come alive so im sure its in the setting but I have hit a brick wall
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)

I don't need to google it. I work in IT. I see it every day.
Guess what? I also work in IT.

Not because there wasn't proper security in place-the fact that there was is how he got caught repeatedly- but because he was a moron that refused to change. It might sound harsh to some but I don't know at what point those people would start to blame him for being a moron and stop blaming technology for being the technology that it is.
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.

For reference sake-and those not familiar with school ages in the US-I was 6. At six years old I started learning-and understanding-the basics of why we need to be careful on the internet. I have the luxury of having had the internet my entire life which means I've had slightly more time than some to get used to the fact that people with bad intentions are everywhere on the internet. But if I can learn at the ripe young age of 6 not to click random links-adults who have been around a lot longer than me have no excuse whatsoever. I was still learning how to type at age 6 and didn't even yet have an email address and I still knew. It's a people problem plain and simple.
Just because technology-including the internet-can make our lives easier that doesn't mean we stop trying to protect ourselves. Your front door not only keeps out the elements and the wilds of nature but also people with bad intentions-which is a great convenience as much as it is protection. Do you leave it open or unlocked 24/7 just because you expect the world around to respect that this is your space and nothing else is allowed in it unless you say? No you lock it and close it when necessary as a form of protection for you your family and your stuff. Don't be ignorant with you your family and your stuff on the internet. Use both common sense and methods of protection you know are available-that information isn't hidden behind some secret wall it is basic knowledge.
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.

smh and also i figured i would share that soo everything dont have to be that just because you dont do what they do and also a real artist see past whatever the content is abd its all art and we are all artist in the end everyone has they own style that brings people to like and see they work
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.

well i have came across https://slushe.com/ and they won't flag you for the pics you post and i have seen alot of people from SL on it
That's because the entire site is focused towards x-rated content.

Just realized - if there are no more Basic users, who will work at our Strip / Slex joints and clean our homes?
Then we'd have to hire premium users who will ask for higher pay and social benefits. It's not good for the business.

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.

I highly doubt people visiting p*rn sites will be happy about having to show their driver's license or other form of identification.
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.

If quantum ever leaves the emulator, every encrypted connection will be broken, every crypto transaction will be cracked, and we won't even have the power to label AI as AI. It will rise above us faster than we can blink.
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.

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.
