it makes some sense that their is no quarterly Premium Plus plan back when Linden raised the price of Premium they also planned to drop quaterly at that time it was pointed out to Linden that there are people on low fixed incomes (pensions, disabilities, etc) actual poor people, who do not have an immediately available $100 to spend. That they have to save up to get this amount and one of the example given, was that for some people the time needed to save up this amount was between now and next pay day. While with others (actual poor people) on low fixed income the save up time can run to 6 months or more. Like if can only save up $5 a week then will have to go without for 20 weeks to be able to have the $100. And in this case the overwhelming number of people in these financial situations go with the monthly plan. Spend $10 a month that when so (as it is so) then the subscription plan is regressive. Only those who can put together $100 in a lump sum will get a discount. The poorest RL residents do not, not unless they go without a Linden Home for the duration of the initial save up period so the need for a quarterly discount to reduce the saveup time to get a discount Linden took this onboard and put the quarterly Premium discount subscription back in. For actual RL poor people to be able to get some discount, while also keeping the saveup period shorter than 20 weeks or more had there only been a annual plan discount this said. given the then argument for actual poor people, it makes sense to not have a quarterly Premium Plus account,. Objectively, we are not RL poor when we opt to go for a Premium Plus account, which is 150% more than Premium

when the object is owned/deeded to group and the contents (notecards) are set to modify permission then group members with edit rights on group objects can edit the notecards in the object in the case of you being the owner of the object then anyone you give edit rights on your stuff too, can edit the notecards when the notecards are set to modify permission

google on keywords: roll back Nvidia graphics driver lots of help websites will come up showing how to do this

could get some residents doing protest builds on their old Linden Homes in response, like We Shall Not, We Shall Not Be Moved. Banners and barricades round their homes, chucking water balloons and marshmallows at Demolition Linden what dares to approach with their bulldozer. Be quite fun that 😸

it makes some sense for home removal to have begun already if this is what is happening helps to reduce the number of new people moving in, while also signalling to the existing home owners that the bulldozers are at work, and might be a good idea for the remaining residents to start thinking about moving to a new Linden Homes neighbourhood

i like this. I be tempted to pay a 4 year subscription in one go if there was a way to do this. Just so I don't have to think about it again for a long time (Linden might go bust in that time but would be oh! well for me if that happened)

i first went on the weekend. Got lagged to death, too many people for my computer i since did the rest in my evenings Monday Tueseday, which is the time of least numbers of people on the grid. Was pretty good for me at that time. Not so many people some of the things on display I was quite impressed with. Some not so much. But is more my preferences influencing this than anything else

yes that only way I can see this working is if those who want to pre-select homes have to pay some fairly substantial fee for the privilege, on top of their Plus subscription. A non-refundable fee should the home be subsequently abandoned

impression 4) not so much an impression as a happening i saw a person using a follower script to tow their friend. I haven't seen anyone doing this since ages. Was a trip down memory lane that

i often wonder what motivates merchants to do this. The Shop 'n Hop is the biggest foot traffic event on the annual calendar and the rent is a gift item of L$300 it baffles me that a merchant would extrapolate this to lost sales: To the sum of L$300 times gifts taken. I don't understand how anyone thinks like this

i vote for this method we know the path we want the object to travel. So plot the path and use KFM to deliver

impression 3) seems to be a quite a lot more items being exhibited this year for home and garden. More meaning relative to clothing. The uptick is maybe influenced by Linden Homes

i have 2 impressions so far 1) a thing I am noticing at Shop 'n Hop from more than one vendor. Which goes like: pay 250L to join our shop group and we will give you a Shop n' Hop gift of 300 store credits. Is getting pretty close to (if not over) the edge of what gifting is about 2) I notice that this year the regions appear to be more organised by content. Quite a few regions seemed to be grouped by content type (not every store, just quite a few). So Shop n Hop feels more like a department store this year, and less like a jumble sale as it has been in the past. Which is a good thing I think

this is me i have a GTX 1050Ti graphics card. I am still on the NVidia 456.71 driver. For a while I was updating regularly then the driver after 456.71 caused some issues for my SL. So I never bothered updating since. It still goes as it always has

is some truth to this as well. Without the official notice then we all just guessing. Is what we do on forums tho, spend a lot of time guessing/speculating , while waiting for facts and confirmations

your point about the naming is pretty valid. tbh I am just guessing. Is just that other than people who want lots of groups I don't see who else other than business-oriented people would see any benefit in this package this said, seems like the contents of this package has been going round and round within Linden for ages, and amongst themselves have probably had as many discussions on the permutations as we have had on these forums. And in the end Linden had to do something given how long ago it was announced, and went with this is kind of a lesson in some ways. Don't announce a new product coming soon, when don't know what that new product is

in this case we can set up a listen channel on which to pass the key/uuid of the person who fired (?touched?) the container prim, to the follower prim have a look at the object_rez example on how to set up a channel between the rezzer and the follower: https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Object_rez

it seems to me that the package is more oriented toward the business/creative person and less toward the consumer person. And as such I think it will work out cost-effective for the people it is oriented toward

i thought these were the new event regions, which we can get for our own events

a thing to factor in when we are new to trading in land long-time land traders will buy land at a reasonable markup price from residents they know to not be land traders. The traders know that these residents will, by and large, spend what they might get in a markup to buy other land on which to settle/live when the long time traders recognise that the new resident has become a land trader also, then they stop buying that land at markup prices

i experience the same with māori language. There is formal māori (grammatical form) language and there is what we call kitchen māori. Formal māori for when we have to stand and speak/orate formally to a formal gathering. Be respectful of the language and to the people present yes can be shame funny sometimes tho. Like one time this person stood and lectured the previous speakers on using kitchen māori to address what was a formal gathering. Then they switched to english language to explain to the non-māori speakers what was being said. And the lecturing person did this in kitchen english left themselves wide open, too funny! shame! was a rush to be the next speaker. To lecture the lecturer on how disrespectful it is to lecture the gathering in kitchen english, on the need to be respectful of language when speaking forrmally kaumātua quelled the rush, stood and did it a kind way with plenty of humour, while also acknowledging the point the lecturer had been wanting/trying to make, which everybody present took onboard. And to their credit that person stood up again and apologised to the previous speakers and to the gathering. So was all good

there are a number of primitive tools like Monster Mash which can create a rudimentary 3D object from 2D photos, which can be taken into Blender to edit/improve a vid showing Monster Mash to Blender is here:

it depends on which island your friend was on. Were they on Welcome Island or at the next step Social Island, or did they spawn at a Community Gateway depending on which island they did spawn then the official or not can be better answered Community Gateways are resident-run and do have official-to that-community helpers New entrant Welcome Island and Social Island also have a helpy resident group recognised by Linden this said tho, your friend could have encountered what is sometimes referred to as a rogue mentor. Which on the Welcome Island happens as Lucia mentions. Somebody makes an alt account, signs in to Welcome Island and never leaves, which allows them to always be present on Welcome Island some of the Social Islands are open to the public, so if your friend encountered this person there then this can happen to anyone and your friend got unlucky hopefully tho you have encouraged your friend to move on from the not-helping department person and are helping them to realise the potential that SL offers
