    I have since learned that the "META owns LL" was an April Fool's joke.
    Clearly, I am the fool. 😉
    However, I tried out the recently Meta-purchased Oculus headset @$500 and it works well. Watching a YouTube performance by Rüfus du Sol was impressive.
    That/if it ever comes to SL is in the unknown future, one would imagine.
    That Sansar was a failure as delivered, ' is old news of course.

    Mark...

    Re. the current performance of SL (for me), I'm wondering if it is better to have 6 torso only avatars fully rezzed or to have 3 complete SL avatars fully rezzed and 3 as peramanent clouds!

    Look closely at those legless avis, though. They don't even have tattoos. Nobody's going to want to float around all boring-looking.

    Profile Pic Size?

    I searched for the answer to this question on the Knowledge base but couldn't find one. So what should the "dimensions" of a pic be to fit perfectly in your profile pic? and does anyone have any good sites that can do that?

    Depending on a person's viewer, and what theme it has at the moment, there might not be any perfect fit. I take square snapshots and they turn rectangular on my profile.

    But generally, things go best if images are either 1:1 or 2:1, square or rectangular. Examples: 512 x 512 or 512 x 1024. I'm not even sure images can be uploaded that don't follow that model, at least in the viewer.

    ..says the person eating ice cream in their profile picture!

    Actually, my profile picture is an occulted, subliminal message, the meaning of which is obvious to anyone who's seen Matilda 348,308,972 times. When I post it full-size, I'm referencing the restaurant scene.

    Oh, and it's a fruit tart, I believe.

    But whatever, ice cream is nice, too. I'll accept it.

    LOL…. so if you laugh and its interpreted as scorn, thats an actionable offence? Get a warning or even suspended?

    I have a much better idea, just get rid of the reactions entirely to save the hurt feelings of the more sensitive, delicate souls in here.

    But then everyone will just crapflood with image macros, I mean, memes.

    According to the message from the power lines company, this morning the power is going to go out and stay out for most of the day, so that they can do infrastructure maintenance.  If doesn't happen today, it will maybe happen tomorrow instead, maybe.

    Pull the breaker and the uncertainty disappears. Just make sure you eat all the ice cream first.

    And then there are the ideas that people come up with which they don't really think through and don't have any evidence that it will work or knowledge about what needs to be done to carry it out, but hey, it's their idea and their ideas are good, right? So anyone opposed to it must be brainwashed sheeple.

    I see you have also visited the Scripting Forum before.

    Apologies - I am aware that for some it may not be a High School Club mindset - it is for those that put weight on it as if it were some value indicator or other some such

    Bah, no worries there: I have two partners that dropped out. One went back for her GED, the other is debating it.

    I quit in middle school because bullied and autistic = suicidal. I came back later on my own dime and went to Brown. I aced the entrance exam without studying. I didn't even know it was Algebra, etc. I was testing on.

    Formal education is a bit like a forum reputation, too. It's bulldooky that's just kinda meaningful in some contexts, and doesn't reflect the entirety of anyone.

    I've known people who competed for worst forum reputation on various forums, and some of them were the best people there.

    This is true even without autism. People are complicated, and trying to figure out what they really meant or feel is even harder without visual and tone clues.

    I think it's why people get so upset so easily when someone dismisses what they say because it's from the wrong end of the stick or whatever. So much of people disagreeing isn't about what they're even discussing, or trying to discuss. It's all sidetracks about how indignant they feel about their view being dismissed so casually, as if there was no point in investigating.

    It's like boxers in the ring playacting that it's all just rhetoric and debate, when inside they feel like their opponent ran their mom over with a tractor and burned the barn, and they want to rabbit punch them in the dingdong.

    As for old bats, well, I'm an old bat, and even I have called someone on the forums a bitter old queen before. Just own it and try to live better, is all we can do. Falling prey to our own expectations is just part of the initiation process.

    Forum Reputation is a meaningless number, tracked only by those stuck in the High School Social Club mindset.

    I never went to high school, so seeing good reputation and no disciplinary action is how I make up for never getting to feel all of those feels. Winning the day feels kinda good, too. Especially when it happens on a day I wasn't even online. XD

    Oh, and don't anybody go judging me for not going to high school. I can legally put Dr. in front of my name. Just saying.

    Peeve: My autism renders me incapable sometimes of telling whether people on the forums are serious, joking, self-aware, delusional, or a combination of two or more. For a person who had a fulltime career as an entertainer for over 20 years, this is scary stuff to me sometimes.

    Especially, considering how many of those years I made my entire living off of being able to tell people what they were thinking.

       You can upload directly to the forum by using the UI below the text window whilst writing a post:

    6e33188b040f13a1a008b2d38a9f9e24.png

       Or, if you have the image on another image hosting website (Flickr, ImgBB, or such), you can embed images by copying the image URL.

    Also be sure to hover over the little "Insert" link if you do an upload, so it goes into the post body to display once it's there. It hides sometimes for a moment, but lights up on mouseover.

    I'm old at this stuff and I still wondered why my first attachments weren't showing up, lol.

    If multiple people react with laughter or derision to a post, it might just be because they all think it's a stupid idea.

    I sometimes seem to be scornfully laughing perhaps, when I actually thought someone was joking. Often when people seem to be taking themselves very seriously, it's hard to tell.

    And I even like some of the stupid ideas, too.
