    They still need physics, they just don't need to worry about what happens at the intersection of the avatar model and the physics ground.

    A life time of socialized medicine - get an appointment in a week, same day if urgent. US private care .. 3 month+ lead time to see primary care. JFC .. I'm planning on being sick in March, just giving everyone the heads up now.

    No, not everyone, but it's significant enough that there is pressure on users to migrate if they want to continue participation in a meaningful way. There is a huge number of SL discord groups now.

    None of us need to virtually poop, but I sure see a lot of bathrooms in SL.

    It's been our experience testing that while Ryzen APU's can render SL, it's far from a pleasant experience. The 1% lows can rapidly crush the frame rate down to single digits with even moderate complexity. Building a system around a Ryzen5700G is a great starting off point, but getting a discrete GPU as a follow up purchase has to be part of the plan. The APU is fine for low end gaming, SL might not make full use of a modern GPU but it certainly benefits from running on one.

    I think we're past trying to close that door. Discord has already happened and people have migrated. Case in point. When we do a Catznip release or beta or need help chasing a bug, we get almost no engagement from group notices. People just don't see them and if we repost often enough to reach people, some users disengage with the group and most still have no idea what's going on. I can ping our small discord and get responses in world in minutes. I'm not saying burn group notices, I'm saying that system needs to be replaced with something better that isn't so ephemeral or needing users to manually dig though the UI to check. A lot of functionality has been leveraged onto the group system and it's not up to the task.

    Most users don't know or care to go digging for them, the current system is really not good for much. The use case of a few groups putting meaningful information in notices is dwarfed by the groups that send a dozen notices a day because they know no one will see them of they don't. The system doesn't work like a group mail box and it really should.
  9. Coffee Pancake
    Group notices are .. of questionable value as implemented. If you're online they flash on screen for a few seconds. If you have the group chat open you will see it there. If not, it's probably going to email, spam or into the void. I've recently started getting spammy IM messages from groups electing to IM all members regardless of online status, which is most annoying. Depreciating group notices without a better replacement will result in more of this kind of thing.

    This is 100% correct. The only way anyone figures this out is trial and error. There is certainly an argument to be made for those menu entries to be a bit smarter. Maybe even just switching them to 'add' and 'replace XXXXXXX' showing the name of the item to be replaced .. or just ditch the second item entirely as now everything is rigged mesh, the named attachment point often has no relevance.

    This is built differently from firestorm, it stands a decent chance of meaningfully maxing your PC out. I wouldn't expect this to be a lighter solution on older hardware.

    The are likely to be other hidden flags as to whether to show an account (etc) in certain places. It might be an idea to file a support ticket (from sage) and ask why you're not searchable.
  15. Coffee Pancake
    You can get different results in different searches. (banned account)
  16. Coffee Pancake
    That's an us problem though, not an LL one. Their job is to enable connectivity.
  17. Coffee Pancake
    Probably a combination of unknown hidden factors and edge cases, we also don't know how frequently the search is updated or what actions would trigger an update.

    Timed demos are a very solid hint that I don't really want to buy the item or shop at that store.

    Traffic as a raw measure of actual popularity is junk and easily gamed. As we're unlikely to get anything meaningful from LL; What would a scripted popularity meter look like, what would it measure, how would it avoid being gamed (or at least make gaming it so annoying to actual visitors as to be counter productive). Should it be interactive in anyway or entirely passive. What behaviors should it encourage locations that place the meter to get their visitors to engage in. What meaningful (anonymous) information could it provide to places that place such a device. For the purposes of maintaining privacy, such a device would have to do all the processing in LSL with the goal of submitting minimal information (a couple of numbers) to an external website.

    This is an actual bug - please file a JIRA for it with these screenshots.

    Being mostly non24 for the last decade has made a lot of normal social stuff hard. Don't even sync up with other non24 people.

    If there is render code needed to make it work, then yes, it will be poss be user selectable. However from an object perspective its just going to be a couple of additional image maps expanding on the existing materials. We're not going to get a whole new realtime lighting engine for PBR materials so will still have to prebake AO into the primary texture map. For us in practical terms, PBR is going to mean materials 2.0

    But you can have more than one avatar with a premium account and each one claiming a Linden Home. The excess 512 from a camper can be used for 512sqm of regular mainland.

    Post some pictures? We're mostly blender users here ...

    Don't keep HUDs on you aren't actively using. If you post a picture of your avatar maybe we can be more specific.
