THIS. Finding this thread quite interesting. As you may remember (if not, no worries), I experienced something that was quite traumatic to me in my first days in SL that haunts me still. The guy who did it laughed at me as I chased him screaming at him, calling me a 'stupid hoe' because it was all just virtual and who cared. No one did or said a thing, and he said if he got banned he would just be back in a week. I did file a complaint but of course unlike RL (where there is hardly any more justice for rape or other sexual assault than in SL, but at least you get to see if the guy got arrested, charged, convicted or whatever, or not), in SL it is all secret in the name of 'privacy' for the offender. Not that *my* privacy mattered when it happened. So these hot takes on how ridiculous feeling violated in SL is really make me shake my head and frown.

I have been in other forums where threads automatically lock after 30 days (or some other definite time frame), and so wish that was applied everywhere.~

Ah, yes, thanks! I am an idiot, lol. User error rather than FS shortcoming. (rolls eyes at self)

Thanks, I am sorry, I was also talking about FS on a Mac in general and the things that are opaque to a long-time Windows user, though I guess that was off-topic. As you say, the M1 seems to not cause any problems, though I also already installed some layer app for Microsoft apps, and I would guess it is needed for FS, too.

I just loaded it on my new MacBook Air, which is the lowest model, and it seems to run fine on a mid-range graphics setting. I did find issues with it, though. For one, I am using Firestorm (the official viewer may behave differently, but is so poorly featured I won't use it), and the only way I could open it was to go to Privacy and Security and allow it there. Also, when I maximize the FS window, it covers everything else, including it's own system-level toolbar (or perhaps doesn't even have one?), so I cannot minimize it and I cannot access the Dock. I am new to MacOS, there is probably a way to switch among open windows using a keyboard shortcut, but I don't know it yet and had to use Com-Q and quit FS to do anything else.

Awww, that is so sweet!! Thank you very much! ❤️

Lol, so I was wrong on both counts.

Back where? Here, or SL?

Thanks, Maddie! First Apple in a long, long time, lol.

Thanks, I will give that a try.

I just got a MacBook, and cannot get the Firestorm viewer to work. I get an error that the app cannot be verified to be free of malware. My understanding that the verification is something added in the last few months by Apple. The official throws a slightly less bad error, and the SL site says you can get past that with Cntl-click, but the Firestorm one just won't run, and the error gives really only an option to trash the app. I guess could use the official app, but it is so poorly-featured compared with FS (the worst is not having built-in AO, I would have to try to figure out how to set up a wearable one, and I have not done that in years). Any suggestions? Thanks! :)

Next they should model lag. Or the slow texture loading. My fave things about SL.~

Looks like that worked, all objects are returned and has a new owner. Who has it up for sale for L$5000, lol. But, whatever, I got L$1000 to donate, and Marianne will be pleased that it is not abandoned land.

Dropped to L1000, but noone may look, as the thread title says L5000 and I cannot change it.

Reduced to L1000.

I am dealing with way too much IRL to be bothered with this, and honestly, don't really care about the whole thing anyhow. In the end, I just need to have no land by the end of March so I can downgrade my account and not get charged for another year of Premium.

That's a good point, I guess. I really don't much care about SL at this point, but if it is not too much trouble I will sell for L1 or something. I have too much going on IRL to keep lowering the price and messing with it, though. I set the price based on what a land company was asking for the lot behind me, and less than I paid for it, but really was just trying to get money to donate, not for me to use personally. Honestly, I wonder if it will sell even at L1, though.

I am not really worried about selling it. When I bought it I expected to have to eventually just abandon it. I don’t need or want the Lindens, I was going to donate them. If it doesn’t sell by late March, which I expect it won’t, I will just abandon it and have no regrets.

Nope, not a bite. Sorry.

Everyone, and all the animals got out without physical injury. Going off my life in general, and the last 11 months in particular, I seriously doubt this is going to be a good year, and honestly would not be surprised if even worse things happen than going through this fire and recovery. But thanks for the good wishes either way.

I know this only affects a few people and not the large numbers that the disasters above affect, but my apartment burned out last Monday and caught the other three units in the building on fire, too, and that just followed on all the horrible stuff that has happened over the last 11 months for me. I was not having a Happy New Year before that anyhow, but that really put the cherry on top of the sh-- pile.

I had a choice between transfer items and not transfer items, so I selected 'do not transfer' and it went fine. The next hurdle is getting someone to actually buy it, lol. But either way, it's fine. I was just going to abandon it (I am downgrading from Premium), but then I thought if I could sell it I could donate that money to sims I like. Thanks for your help!

Hi! I have a small parcel for sale in the water, currently with a furnished house. I love it there, but can no longer justify Premium, so am downgrading and cannot have land. Please see attached pics. My plot lines are the red poles in the water. Long front view shows my house/plot from the front; my house is the white one on the little island in the middle. Front, from the back, and top view, from the top. If you have any questions, please let me know! Thanks for looking! ETA: Forgot to mention, I am happy to leave the house, island, landscaping, and furniture, but unfortunately it is almost all non-trans, so I can give you ownership, sorry. Otherwise I would let the stuff go with the plot. ETA, again, lol: Forgot the SLurl: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Hellish/85/246/23

Thanks, Molly, I appreciate you taking the time to help!

Awesome, thanks so much! So I guess the best thing is to make a post in the Parcels for Sale forum and hope for the best. Thanks again, you are always a fount of knowledge!
