i think the best suggestion in these situations, is to start your own club. It costs about $2 or $3 a week to get started when start out small. As more people come then can upscale it as you prefer

it should return Joe Neon

on a more positive note is things technological that have come out of Africa that I think has been of enormous benefit like the M-PESA system, initially leveraging then quite nascent SMS technology, that enabled much wider (safer) participation of people in the economy in places (particularly rural) which had previously been predominately cash-based trading societies with all the issues that cash-based transactions incur

not to be a downer, but how is this any different to what the missionaries did by bringing what they believed was best for the natives ? is futile to do this as it presupposes that the natives will not use the introduced technology as they deem fit, for themselves by themselves, both individually and severally

this is a interesting topic a issue with tiny rooms in SL is the walking speed of avatars. Out of the box there is only one speed which is about 3.2 meters a second. Whereas in RL we walk ay different speeds. In our RL bedroom, kitchen, etc we walk a whole lot slower (so to better navigate the furniture/fittings/obstacles) than we do when we are walking to work for example a way to LSL script adjust our walking speed to navigate obstacles similar to RL is here: basically if we do want to make RL-proportionate homes in SL then we make a HUD for that home also. A HUD which adapts our avatar speed to the room we are in, and also auto-adapts our follow camera angle/height/pitch similarly

i have seen Mr Sticky as well. Is quite fun. There also some other similar things like furballs and such that approach venue patrons and say similar hi! how are you's as others have said already the biggest issue with these in SL is the lack of script space to build above the rudimentary conversational level. To go beyond this level then, as mentioned, the ML lsl script has to plug into a external http device. Can obtain a bit more space using Experience KVP database before going externally tho a example of a lsl ported implementation of a grammar engine is here: as wrote this engine doesn't learn tho, is just a grammar engine. However its vocabulary can be dynamically extended in a learning sense as it interacts conversationally with people technically the extending could be done by ordering the response lists elements based on a rule that an element is more "valuable" when the person responds to what the ML last said. Adding new words/phrases that the ML picks up from the conversation(s). Adding also means subtracting the least "valuable" elements so to not run out of script memory

just on this part at a recent-ish User Group meeting Linden said they have taken onboard the idea to bounce vehicles off parcel banlines (in the same way avatars are). LInden said that they hadn't allocated resources to doing it yet, but was something that they see as a good thing to do from the user pov

a way is to have the user/creator include the price in the name. Is a number of ways to do this. One way goes something like: string name = "My For Sale Thing. L$50" integer price = 1 + llSubStringIndex(llToUpper(name), "L$"); if (price) { // "L$" found price = (integer)llGetSubString(name, 1 + price, -1); } if (price > 0) { // price is set (greater than 0) ... do something with name and price } else { // price is not set ... error (give the name thing back to the seller with message) }

not sure what you exactly mean by a dudebro as it means different things depending anyways with trad dudebro then the car is quite often a semi tricked BMW (tricking your mom's car is defo dudebro). Anyways it kinda goes like this. As the passenger dude says to the driver dude at 0.19. Dude! the music is typically something like Manic Bloom (which is not a bad band)

is a tribute to Dolores O'Riordan and a benefit for her children

i haven't checked but I think Pink Fuel still have makeup packs in their inworld store for system avatar

the first wrong with virtual worlds is that is only a few people acknowledge that I am like the monarch of all the worlds the second thing is that I dunno exactly where these few people like live in my royal domain. So when I go on my annual Royal Progress I dunno where to stop and rest and have them pay for everything, like loyal subjects are supposed too 😺

^^ yeah that and also Linden have gommed your Catznip mini-map parcel boundaries idea. Is in the candidate release here: https://releasenotes.secondlife.com/viewer/6.6.2.573023.html in my own travels I treat every parcel not Linden, as dangerous. I expect every parcel to orb me. I expect that is no-vehicle entry. I expect that I am banned. I expect that is no-scripts, no-rez. I expect that the parcel is damage-enabled. I expect auto-return 1 if I have a need to find a path thru private parcels (because is the only way to cross to a Linden parcel on the other end) then I will walk the route beforehand and chart a safe path, using the parcel owner's land permissions to determine this

i am supportive of this approach as well i think that Linden could maybe do a NUX Beta Release set up a JIRA for the technical people. Knowing that for the non-technical people there will be a forum thread about the Beta also then after getting the feedback, do the formal release

i think people in the account age range are worth talking too The question being: What is it about the last 3-4 years in SL that has helped these newish people to decide to continue to log in and contribute to the world ? Remembering that it was about 4 years ago that the month on month decline in tier revenue was halted and stabilised. What part have these newish people played in this stabilisation (a part which is easily quantifiable), but more importantly, why ? Answers to the why, gives qualitative info which can be viewed more rigorously as the info sits on top of quantifiable data
