I follow mostly politics and current events on twitter, so this is what they consider top content for me. I will allow that searching for #secondlife (not the same as "second life") does return more adult content. But it's a nice mix of things: stuff I've already seen on flickr and some I haven't—and yes some furries—but not at a level that requires panic.

Classic filter bubble. I couldn’t find any. I’m mocking but this is also a real thing. Algorithmic searches prioritize what you actively look for far more than anything else. Why? Because the average user simply hoovers up whatever comes along in the endless scroll. Searching for furry content tells the algorithm you really really want to see it.

I spent the money I set aside for a name change. Again. Third time's the charm? “Reply hazy, try again.”

I remember buying that hair and being disappointed. Since then though, comments on these forums made me aware that many modern hairs aren’t much better despite their lower listed complexity. 200k triangles or more on some of these multi-style, multi-accessory HUD type hairs. When I want a truly lower lag outfit I start with Slink Redux and a hair that is actually lower on render weight. I use FS area search (uncheck “attachment” for your attached items) to inspect my worn items more thoroughly. Most of the time I don’t care and wear Belleza though..... part of the problem!

Not ideal but Firestorm contact sets can help at least. I don't want to disable display names but some drive me crazy, special characters, content, whatever. If you add someone to a contact list you can assign them an alias or strip their display name ("Rem DN") on a case by case basis. Maybe everybody knows this but as something I recently discovered, thought I would mention it! I'll probably use this to remind me who people are when name changes happen as well.

The lewd sign above the bedroom window is what tips it into obnoxious for me. I'm not a prude, far from it. I DO on the other hand keep my depraved sex furniture and artwork within the walls of my home. I'm sure nobody on that block needs to be aware of the "spitroasting zone"

Even major style guides differ in this case. The Tribune and NYT use Gen Xer, for example, while others don't. It certainly can't be prounced "correct" one way or the other. Except that Xer is correct

"I've been headpatted 3210 times"

Words that end in Nova for all you punsters. Kudos again to the resisdent who suggested Yeetly. More meme related names!

It's honestly a little over my head for anything beyond personal tinkering. There is an Arch Linux user though who created a package that compiles Firestorm directly from the nightly source. I sent an email asking him to take a look to see if its even possible in theory.

Isn't there a huge opportunity here to start packaging your own windlights / giving them away in store and saying "This is what my objects should look like" ... Is EEP so bad that it's not possible to achieve an aesthetically pleasing look at all? Hard to believe if so!

Speaking of Boomers I am grateful for the "very online" surname choice of Yeetly, if that is indeed what I heard*. It is bound to be one of the most popular choices and a solid indicator of people I can safely avoid on account of my being an old. 😂 * And I'm 99% sure that's what it was: Know Your Meme: Yeet Hats off to the winner (sincerely!) I shall now yeet myself yeetly out of the thread.

I believe the final name mentioned was YEETLY

I heard back from LL that Linux is unsupported but that's OK. It means I can continue troubleshooting knowing I didn't inadvertently run afoul of the TOS or anything. So an odd technical glitch, at least I *should* be able to figure out on my own. It's vexing though because I don't tend to update my system willy nilly (technical term) and it was working one day and not the next. Thanks for the suggestions!

Profiles picks full of fashion and proportion advice. 9/10 they don't even have their own stuff together. More generally, anyone who thinks they have it all figured out. You don't!

I just spent the money in my paypal that I was going to use for a name change so surely it will be tomorrow.

I would create a meta window that allowed docking virtually anything as a tab. It would pair nicely with pulling windows off screen. Think dockable tools in gimp but inventory friends etc. Single window mode toggle pops this out.

Thanks for the suggestion, I will look into that. I know Virtualbox can have that effect. And I understand that is why games (I know SL is not a game!) do block these kind of connections.

Anyone out there use WINE to run Windows viewers in Linux? I have seen Black Dragon and Catznip mentioned, both of which make sense given their unique features. I use Black Dragon this way for photography. Yesterday I was greeted with the following: "Login failed. Second life cannot be accessed from this computer. If you feel this is an error, please contact support@secondlife.com" Which of course I did. I also verified the same issue running Firestorm in WINE, and that my account is in good standing and can log on other standard viewers. I understand nobody here can offer me support. But I'm more generally curious if anyone has had issues using WINE. I assume (alternate suggestions welcome) that my configuration triggered filters designed to prevent something more sinister than mediocre snapshots 😂 I am fairly technically inclined and it's possible with research I could compile this viewer for myself in Linux. At least, I have seen archaelogical evidence of that being done. I guess at this moment I would hesitate not knowing whether, after all that work, some algorithmically controlled mechanism might be waiting to drop anvil on my head. What's the technology behind blocking viewers, how smart is it? Are there a lot of false positives, have you experienced one?

More of a mild bemusement than a peeve but: people who share a bunch of RL details in their profile only to cap it off with "I don't mix SL and RL!!!" ... make up your mind!

Brands that do those gacha boards at events are like brands that only rig for one body. I keep camming past them going jeez why don't I own any of that! Oh, right

Mine right now is brands that only do gacha. I want your beautiful stuff. I want to give you money. But I never ever will.

Five or six people you genuinely vibed with ain’t bad! After a while I think we develop a keener sense of what to look for in a profile, a look, a venue and maybe the hit rate goes up? But sometimes (often, I may not be as hot as I think I am...) I will spend the evening in a club and not click with anyone. Avatar age may also be a factor.

I saw someone asking about this in the group yesterday, so I checked for myself and sent a picture to one of the mods. Seeing a hotfix released that quickly speaks volumes to me. I've gotten so used to the "file a complaint and pray" approach to customer service. Glad to see they are on top of it during the immediate roll out.

Not as part of my daily internet routine. Mostly if I'm already searching for technical information, so I do appreciate they are out there. Same with the fashion blog scene. If I see a stylish photo on flickr and want to buy something in it, I'll pop over to check the credits.
