  1. Banline visibility was broken in 2007 Rather than add viewer side controls to allow users to show or hide banlines as needed for whatever they were doing at the time, LL did the cheapest simplest option and fudged when regions informed the viewer of the nearest (and only the nearest) neighboring parcel with an access restrictions. This is why we can't do anything at all in the viewer now - The viewer doesn't know a parcel has access restrictions until you're about to slam your face into it. The only way the viewer can get that information is by repeatedly brute forcing requesting data on every parcel on the region you're on, and then deducing if you do or don't have access (This would be bad).
  2. The point is that as a product, land has forever been sold as "your land your rules". If that includes denying access to everyone, even by use of the provided parcel access controls, then that is entirely the land owners right to use the product as sold. No one has any access rights to anyone else's purchase by default. It is a courtesy that the vast majority of people are happy to provide. Orbs come into play when people are ignorant of setting up group only access, or are renting mainland and have no other option but an orb to recreate the same "no access" condition. This argument is about the demands of a tiny few "explorers" who have mistaken a widely provided courtesy as a right, one they have zero claim to. It's not without cause that some of the parcels explicitly blocking access are in high traffic areas (such as coast lines). It only takes a few "explorers" to cause a problem before the land owner simply runs out of patience and rescinds their offer of passage.
  3. I don't see how this could have gone any other way.
  4. You an me both. They would look awesome with a floofy cake dress!
  5. The increasing number of people openly and publicly prepared to identify as being LGBTQ+ unequivocally demonstrates it absolutely does not. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_demographics_of_the_United_States It's amazing how many people come out of the woodwork when "the thing" goes from being being openly punishable to embraced. No one is being made queer, we were here all along and literally silenced. Care to guess when societies attitudes changed and stopped actively punishing left handed people? Bet that felt pretty confrontational.
  6. Corporate pride is broadly welcome because it raises visibility and awareness, not least of all for LGBTQ+ employees of those participating. Hypocrisy will be called out. We will not be pushed back in the closet. Pride is about visibility and maintaining that visibility is vital for our on going civil rights and social acceptance, especially for younger people just coming to grips with their identity.
  7. But will it .. will it really .. or will it just tell the viewers to play some stock SMILE animation
  8. Corporations treating pride as a marketing opportunity is not new, nor is them not updating their social media images in some locations. Showing solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community during pride is one thing, treating it as a marketing opportunity or trying to have it both ways by funding regressive anti-LGBTQ domestic politicians does not go unnoticed. At the end of the day, while corporate support is broadly welcome by the wider LGBTQ+ community, It's not pride because BRAND put's a rainbow on their logo, and any doing so can expect to be held to their statements supporting LGBTQ + rights and identities. There is a growing expectation that flying the flag in support must also come with meaningful action and support the rest of the year too.
  9. If you're on wifi (especially if you're on wifi) reboot your router. Install the stock Linden viewer. https://secondlife.com/support/downloads/ Start the viewer (dont login). Open Preferences. (CTRL+P) If you had it installed before, Preferences > Advanced > Clear Cache Preferences > Setup > set bandwidth as low. Press OK in Preferences. If you cleared cache, restart the viewer. On the login screen, set your login location to KARA Log in, open inventory and WAIT. Don't minimize or tab out to chrome or something .. just stare at your avatar, on KARA and wait. Seriously, be patient and do some waiting. Make a brew If this doesn't result in a complete inventory, you need to log out and file a support ticket. Explain these are the steps you took. https://lindenlab.freshdesk.com/support/home
  10. The intent behind these controls was repeatable photography and machinima (and if people used it to make better naughty toys, good for them). If it doesn't do what you need it to do, please do get in touch.
  11. Going to the wrong events https://www.seraphimsl.com/category/recurring-events/just-for-men/
  12. As someone who gets hauled around far too many shopping events (and not even close to the bulk of them), there's tons of stuff for guys! Time to expand the ole comfort zone a little.
  13. There are far bigger powers in play when it comes to the inner workings of the mighty YT algorithm than simple "hashtags", this advice wouldn't even have worked a decade ago, let alone today. The only way LL, a corporation selling a product, can boost their visibility on YT is by paying YT considerable sums of money or directly sponsoring individual independent video producers. They are highly unlikely to organically develop a large following, nor are they likely to gain the algorithms favor and see a spontaneous surge.
  14. As a fellow gray-asexual, I love the picture and vibe of this one. ❤️
  15. That is exactly what those shouting loudly about free speech are after, the ability to exercise hate speech, trolling and abusive behavior without consequence. The longer this goes on the more their power and influence increases, the more the community circles the drain and all but the die hard leave - just like these very forums.
  16. See the camera commands we added to RLVa https://wiki.catznip.com/index.php?title=Camera_Commands
