Going to the wrong events https://www.seraphimsl.com/category/recurring-events/just-for-men/

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.

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.

As a fellow gray-asexual, I love the picture and vibe of this one. ❤️

Yaay! Let's debate "freedom" again. How about no.

Right on que.. .. and hilarious.

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.

First person to get a real time hive mind up and running.

Philip ?

Something to do with entering someone else's virtual space being free speech I think.

Nah doomed .. the capture roleplay card has been played. Chase me Daddy.

We're tossing back and forth some accessibility ideas for users with vision difficulties based around treating things in the viewer and SL differently depending on avatar context (as much as we can imply that from received inputs & avatar motion etc). So this might be something to add to that pile. Say you're on a parcel you own or walking or camming, there is no need to render a ban line till your face is right up against it. Do the opposite for flying or in motion over a certain speed. Likewise this could be extended to factor in angle of approach, if you're passing a parcel with banlines .. do you really care? Ideally we want to avoid manual controls or settings beyond enabling the feature (if we even add that singular option). The trick is having the viewer make an appropriate decision the vast majority of the time, but as this is SL, there is a lot of scope for \edge cases and accidentally triggering abrupt changes in perceived state.

We've been messing with some ideas for nicer looking banlines in Catznip .. probably going to need to do 2 sets with different rendering behaviors, which punted the project behind all the more important pressing work One subtle for people who just don't want to see them, and one super crazy obvious for "explorers" to avoid, maybe we can get the viewer to make an educated guess about which to show when

Unless the target world was constructed and operated identically to Second Life, your assets, even if transferred wouldn't function and probably couldn't be made to function. All assets, on all platforms, are at the very top of a huge house of very specific cards. Yes, you can make Windows run on a Mac, but you have to have ALL of windows working for it to be of any use. On newer Macs, that goes even deeper as you have to build an entire intel virtual machine on top of the actual hardware. So to get SL assets in anything that wasn't SL, they would have to build ALL of SL into their platform.

All the talk of interoperability is just smoke and mirrors, in world assets (any asset, any world) only has meaning when in the place that gives it context. Some hair from SL just can't work somewhere else, in the same way some buffed up hitting stick from a game doesn't have any meaning or function in SL. The raw asset might be to a degree transferable, but without that context it's just junk. It might endure here, but it's lack of adoption by other parties is somewhat troubling in the long term. .. that's already in play, it's called Discord. We reinforce our SL social bonds there and are already taking those bonds to other platforms and games. At the end of the day, our social connections are the only thing with any real value.

Ban lines also make great trampolines. Find a parcel with regular bans lines, fly over to the center, stop flying and fall right onto the top of the protected parcel. Boing! Boing! Boing! For added hilarity, you can shout to anyone in the house below you " HEEEEYY YOU !! HALP !!! LET ME IN !!!! " Boing! Boing! Boing!

Section 230 is part of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 and was a direct result of ISP getting targeted by lawsuits. It predates the modern social Web 2.0 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_230

Horizons is pretty old so I would presume so. In calculating mainland ownership, it should also be noted that certain bulk landowners hold huge swathes of it and while it is (mostly) for sale or rent, it's not really held by residents in the same way as a personally owned space. Depending on continent, there is also plenty of land that's is held by landowners, with builds, that is not up for sale or rent, and is not actually resident owned in the common application of the term. Horizons is a microcosm for this practice.

Adding another voice of support for sticking with Microsoft Defender. The team responsible for it inside MS are not selling a product, you do not need "subscribe", and their work underpins security for the bulk of the active Windows platform.

Belli also isn't really "mainland", it's a gated community that connects to mainland

A login requirement is not a shield from litigation, that's what 230 provides. 230 is the linchpin that all social media is built upon, remove that and it all collapses, this is why it's been made a target. The point of going after 230 is to destroy the town square. User generated content falls at the very first hurdle because there will never be enough lawyers to sign off on it all. This wipes out "big tech" as intended, but it also wipes out the small tech too. Everything from twitter, facebook and google, all the way down to yelp and amazon reviews. SL would not be immune.

School shootings. Griefing Prok in SL. 4Chan. The trifecta of evil that will surely bring down the free internet.
