As many stuff the Lab did it started with good intentions, but then they got carried away and forgot why they even started it. Convincing users to stay or even upgrade to premium requires trust - trust that won't be there when the new users realize the new outfit they just invested in is for a body not supported by the majority of content creators. Even if they won't buy anything because a well meaning resident warned them in time ... trust will be lost anyways. Many will interpret this as an attempt to take advantage of their ignorance. Many free to play browser games try that - how would new users consider LL to be different? So now instead of the new user retention aid it was intended to be, NUX has developed into a machinery that erodes new users' trust into LindenLab,... I'm pretty sure it will not work as intended if LL continues down that path.

It's brand suicide, I agree. Which basically is no difference than slowly migrating to another brand's body. No one knows how much Lara stuff there will eventually be or how many creators even will be allowed to have a devkit. It's never been easier for costumers to break away. "Huge selection of available content?" Poof! All smokes and mirrors. It will also be a pain for creators who get the new devkit because guess what? If you don't continue Lara support you'll loose my future sales, and I doubt I'm alone on this one. And of course the blogger infobubble is all "Happy, happy, joy, joy" ... companies would be wise not to listen to them however. They get their stuff for free. Those of us you depend upon for income however - we actually pay for our stuff, we might have a different opinion.

the body will react "better" and "smoother" to shape sliders and animations, ... whatever that means - as both terms are subjective it just translates to "Nanana, that's what you get for investing in our brand - we'll make you work to recreate your look" to my also very subjective mind LOL

The ONLY way I see this working without users getting super angry for investing into NUX outfits is if creators include some some super complicated way to also acquire a copy rigged for a serious mesh body from some kind of exchange/update station later on. I'm astonished at the inability of modern companies to see disgruntled and alienated customers that inevitably will result from certain business decisions... must be something part of the 2020s Zeitgeist.

Highlighted part equals the body looking different with other shapes... We're only shown the default shape, I bet the differences will be less subtle for custom shapes...

Looked again and you seem to be right, so all the "body enhancements" won't fit anymore neither... 🙀

That looks like it is no longer wrist compatible with classic avatars though. Would be a big nono for users of non human hands...

Can't be repeated often enough, same goes for Pinterest, flikkr and X(or however Tesla Social is going to be called now).

That sounds like a big promise. Believing it when I see it.

which will make me bin the update

Rewarding bad designers? Soon everyone would create bad LODs for that precious LI decrease.

Cronjob or Scheduled Tasks for those with the OS from Redmond.

Couldn't this be easier solved with a pair of scripts? a Master script and a Slave script drop both in root Master distributes Slave copies calls them one by one Slaves do their job then self destruct Master self destructs after response of last Slave

I'm sure the Lab can be talked to about this, not bargained with, just talked to. They still might refuse to communicate back though. They won't tell her why the account got banned. What they however most likely will tell her is wether she as a user is banned - if she is not "her" previous account is not considered hers to begin with. If she as a user is banned she can try to appeal. Chances are slim but if she does have her include as much relevant detail as possible so the Lab folks working on the appeal have some material to judge over. She'll have to find out wether she as a user is banned or wether just the account she created with her ex got banned but is associated with him and not with her. My approach would be writing an E-mail with a concise summary what happened, asking for the info wether she as a user was banned too because she has no intend on breaking the ToS by creating a new account and wants to err on the right side.

As crazy as it might sound here is my reasoning: Old SL was coded with a lot of UDP - if some information does not get to you, you'll never know Now assume the online status message can get lost... (we de facto know it can get lost) How do you force a second sending of everybody's online status? Relogs are a proven remedy in many of those cases, but they are annoying. Is there something that might also force a renewal of that list while staying online? I have the strong suspicion that changes in your contacts list (blocking status, friend status .. whatever) cause a "something did change" routine which includes a renewed sending of everybody's online status... Just a script-kitty view on things, but I'm a kitty - no scientist, somebody has to field test the theory while I sniff catnip and purr.

Why would they? Flippers guarantee the tier bill gets payed. Once the Flippers are broken LL would end up with the two adult continents as abandoned as M/G rated mainland. For now the flippers gladly pay the server bills knowing they can hand down the costs with interests to those purchasing parcels. That's plain old Capitalism at work. Adult pixel entertainment is a luxury commodity after all. That is the situation we are in now - while we both would prefer cheaper parcels there is nothing inherently bad with it though.

Does randomly blocking someone still help? It used to in the past. Pro-Tip: block/unblock your alts if you try to avoid angering friends

From a buyer perspective I'd never trust items I don't own myself to stay. But telling the next owner the item owner might come to pick up their stuff would be nice anyways.

One word: Pilots On mainland your area access limitation is restricted to the first 30m above ground or so. Users can fly overs this limited space and will see what you do when looking down. If you want a naughty outdoor pool you must limit yourself to adult parcels - which affects their pricing.

How so? I think we all agree the fact private adult rated activities are allowed under certain circumstances on moderate land affects the desirability and thus the land pricing. We have focused on one singular aspect that affects pricing but hey, people also seem to have arrived at the conclusion that a lot of people really seem to value that particular aspect.

You need a seperate UV Map on your 2 arms then use the Aux layer channels. You will also need the skin texture for your upper body. Here is a quick hack to get a second arm if your mesh body does not allow seperate arm UVs: create 2 copies of body put on body hide one arm with alpha HUD remove body put on other body hide all but arm create skin applier also applies Aux channel to upper body and use it update your skin to also have upper in Aux, alternatively use upper body skin as lowest tattoo level for Aux) create tattoo with two different upper channels, one in Aux one in upper body and use wear both bodies Optional: curse like a madman because you confused left and right side

My interpretation was as many of those as possible. So all three of them unless you are in a new LindenHome where the parcel access option was nuked by LL shortly after their release.

Best make the physics prim really thick, stretching all the way into the floor. Sometimes HAVOC tunnels through thin boundaries. Most mesh physics have no volume, your dog however has a sphere or a cube prim linked to it - those have a volume. Volumes are not allowed to overlap. If your dog tunnels through a mesh physics floor it will drop through it, if your dog however tunnels into a prim it will be pushed out again.

It is in the Official FAQ however.

I guess if LL had not put up that "behind closed doors" policy mainland would be even more deserted by now, and I guess they would also loose a lot of Premium subs and sales tax.
